Which is why I advocate lazy shoplifting instead of the running out of the store variety.
Go in, have 70-ish dollars worth of merch in your cart, scan and pay for maaaaybe 15-20 (less if possible), and leave; easily repeatable, and you will get way less scrutiny. Admittedly harder to do if store has RFID gates
Exact method varies store to store; if the store has a pressure sensor in bag area, just don't bag your stuff up, scan it in cart with scanner gun, and make it look convincing that you're getting everything if there are store staff members watching. If asked why you're not bagging, just say you're trying to help the environment (which you are also doing by helping screw over a megacorporation). And always, be nice to the staff (sans rent a pig), they're just trying to get by, and being nice to them also makes it easier on you as you will likely get less attention.
One of the supermarket chains I shop at recently removed the free small plastic bags that used to be at the checkout. They even had the gall to claim they did it to be green and sustainable.
So now you either have to buy a big overpriced plastic bag, even if you just have a couple of items or you have to balance your groceries in your arms.

Lol my grocery doesn't even have bags anymore. Like maybe they have paper bags hidden somewhere but idk where they are.
