Is there a problem?
Quote by BethanyFrasier
The reason I started this thread is because a few months ago, I was shopping with a friend and I picked up this huge decorator pillow I liked at an upscale store, and just carried it around the store with me while my friend looked around. She never found anything she wanted, so we just walked out the door to the car, and when I handed the pillow to her to hold while I fished for my keys, she said: "Did you pay for that?" You should have seen my OMFG! moment! No one in the store looked twice at me, stopped me, or anything! I just walked out the door in front of everyone with this huge pillow in my arms, and no one said a word to me. Then I panicked, because I expected a police cruiser to pull up any second, but nothing... no consequences. Then I was going to go back in the store and tell them what I'd done absentmindedly, but my friend pointed out that if they found out who my parents were, it would probably wind up in the newspaper.
Happy ending: I went in and paid for it, and they were more embarrassed than I was that none of their security had spotted me! But it goes to show that if you just act normally, and walk out with an armful of merchandise like you own the place, no one will even question you. I wonder if I could go to the zoo and walk out with an elephant.

Sweaters and hoodies from past boyfriends, but can you blame me? They're comfortable, haha!
... Although I've always given them back when I break up with them, so does that still count?

Don't believe everything that you read.
