This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That's considered a security concern in most grocery stores where I live. There are signs telling you not to place any items in your shopping bags until you've paid for them. You must use a cart or waste several minutes hunting around the entrance or registers trying to find where they hid one of their 10 shopping baskets.

Wow, what kind of dystopia do you live in? In my town, they're just happy you went to their store, and I presume cracking down on what little shoplifting there is would drive away more business than it saves.

I have never seen that even in shitty areas.

Admittedly, in the upper class neighborhood grocery stores I don't see those signs. The areas I see them aren't shitty though they are fairly high traffic compared to what I assume would be a typical store.

I looked for but couldn't find a photo of such a sign on DDG. I'll take a picture of one next time I need to get groceries.
