I worked for a major UK supermarket chain a few years ago - at a store big enough to have its own car park, but small enough that it had a small "garden centre" which was about 10m X 25m tacked on to the side of the store.

I was on the way back in after helping some elderly couple load their car up, when some dude says "can you give me a hand with these bags of soil?", and I'm like "yeah no worries" and yeeted about nine or ten bags of soil into the back of his car.

I wander back in and the checkout supervisor was like "did he pay for those bags?" and I'm like "I've no idea mate" - turns out no, no he hadn't.

It was a separate question to "did I care?" where the answer would have equally been something they didn't want to hear.

When I was in HS I worked at a grocery store. One time we had a senior citizen come in and ask me for some bags. He then proceeded to go through the store and bag his groceries and then tried to walk out without paying.
