I'm similarly minded. A friend and I have talked about doing this for some time, but it's such an old joke I sorta fear it wanders into the same territory as asking the grocery clerk if the item that didn't scan is free.

I worked as a cashier and still do it 😅

have you ever said anything back as a response, like" everything's free if you steal it..." and just kind of pause for a moment?

I’m not paid enough to care if you steal shit

My favorite, when I was working any last point of contact with customers: "It's only a crime if you get caught. At least, that's what I figured when I wonder why mgmt gets a cut of my pay.", and the deadpan is essential. 🤘🏽

I usually said something like "I already filled my theft quota for today"
