My understanding is that for most grocery stores, you're stealing from the grocery store. They're responsible for theft and stuff like food going bad. However, if enough people steal a certain brand, the store might stop carrying it.
I think the notable exception to this is Costco, where Costco never actually owns the stock in the store; it's the brand's until you buy it.
I wonder how much theft actually happens from Costco, it seems like the hardest store to actually steal from given the size of most objects and that they have staff to check your cart n shit at the exit
I don't know enough about how "loss prevention" works to say this is foolproof but if you bring a personal shopping cart in and pack your groceries into that, it's easy to fit a few more things that you just forgot to pay for at the self checkout...
(My only concern with this is because you're stealing some things and buying others, if they see it happen on cameras they can figure out who did it based off your membership or payment details)
I just stick my figer in it.
A stolen item is not noticed by customers. A vandalised product still in the store sows doubt in the customer about food safety.
Who knows what us fanatics might do to it?

Stick your ear in it and leave an indentation in the hummus.
That is something only an artist can come up with.
I believe Walmart operates on the same principle.
