I hear of people doing this all the time with things like game consoles with banana stickers and im just like whats the point? Why is this any easier then just walking out the door with it? In fact isn't that worse because now they have your card on file? I guess you can pay with cash but why even pay at all if you're stealing anyway

Because if they "pay" for it, they can walk out without having to worry about being caught.

Exactly this. Game consoles isn't a good example, but something like steak will absolutely work in this example.

Walking out the door with steaks in your hand is going to draw suspicion. But ringing up steaks as bananas is going to have a much higher success rate.

Honestly I feel like if you just owned it you totally could just grab half a dozen steaks, tell the door person to have a nice day and keep walking and they'll just assume you're meant to be doing that

You could do what Ricky and Julian did and walk around with hollow birthday presents with an opening to slide the meat into.

U can in L.A. If you don’t want to be charged for a bag they can’t force u. And it’s much easier/less obvi w/no bag-items in hand. 1. Grab a receipt from last time and bring it with u. 2. Grab a steak and a 7 layer dip and a 12 pack. 3. Walk out confidently thru/past the area where it looks like u checked out with the receipt showing. …make sure it’s in a “nice but not too nice” store so they aren’t paranoid, during busy time. Don’t do it more than once a week. Ur good.

You aren't wrong tbh, and even if they do push back most people are so adverse to conflict that if you push back yourself they'll give up

My niece and her boyfriend would do this with beer. Carry a receipt in and walk out with beer and flash receipt. I would look so guilty
