Sacks for everyone! I feel like the title is trying to be witty. The caffeine hasn't kicked in yet... so I'll quietly hope someone can bag a better title for us.

Fun aside: as someone already observed - its not worth chasing down someone for retail theft. Theres insurance, shrink is factored into running costs, and you could get hurt or sued... or both. Also, while it sucks to look at it this way... if someone is stealing food... they probably needed it.
