Stuff has been getting REAAAAALY expensive lately in my europoor nation, like I could get a buncha snacks with 5€, but then we had to sanction Russia and fuck everything up and so now I can't get shit with that. So basically, how do I shoplift? There are like a bazillion cameras covering every aisle in my local shop and I'm confused as to how not to get caught stuffing my bag full of stuff?

Perhaps the best way is to simply be hiding in plain site. Dress in a dirty, sweaty, construction outfit, rugged boots, hard hat, and most importantly, gloves and facemask. And just fill up your cart like normal and find a low traffic area that leads to the outside pathway (the area where people stand to wait for their families to pay for stuff, where the restrooms are located, etc.). You will likely find an empty register lane that’s blocked off by a simple magnet chain. Remove it, walk out, and casually walk out the store. (Not sure if applicable, but) If the greeter stops you for a receipt, you are not obligated to do anything, and you will only be lawfully detained by non law enforcement if you volunteer to comply.
