Frustrating shoplifter in Falettis

Just frustrating. Was standing in line to checkout at Falettis, a non-chain, family owned grocery store. Something that’s part of my neighborhood! Watched a guy shove a bunch of protein bars and candy into his pocket and walk out. I yelled “HEY dude you got to pay for those!” And he just smugly smiled at me and ran out. Bumped into him two blocks away and gave him a piece of my mind. The staff at the grocery thanked me for at least attempting to do something and calling it out, but MAN, really!? This is a local community grocery.

Sorry for just a frustrated post. I love my neighborhood and so often we take care of one another but this guy was just a dick. Support your local community business.

Edit: Jesus, feels like people are chomping at the bit for it to be the “right” person to fit a narrative. Dude was just an asshole. Mid to late twenties, white, wearing clean clothes and clearly not homeless. Dude was just a dick.

Edit 2: people seem to think this means I’m saying it’s fine to shoplift from BIG stores. No I don’t think it is and I hate that when I go to CVS I now have to look behind locked cases for items. I was just particularly appalled at it happening at a mom and pop.
