QUOTE (HeatherW @ Aug 13 2012, 08:47 PM) ![*](style_images/NWN/post_snapback.gif) WH Smiths and other stores charge for carrier bags. I have noticed that people who wish not to pay for carrier bags walk out of the store with just the goods. How then does the staff tell the difference between bought goods and stolen goods? A reciept

QUOTE (GMR @ Aug 14 2012, 06:04 PM) ![*](style_images/NWN/post_snapback.gif) I receipt is only good if you are challenged; until then it doesn't stop you being viewed as suspicious because you are walking out of their store with goods in your hands; i.e. not bagged. I would say most shoplifters try to hide the goods. There's no problem with not having a bag. I regularly refuse one if I can carry the stuff or have one of my own and have never been challenged, I just make sure of a receipt for the remote chance I will be. Besides, how are you going to know you are viewed with suspicion. Personally, it wouldn't bother me, because I know I haven't nicked anything.
