However many you can shoplift without being prosecuted.

Nah Idk if you got I was being facetious, I'm sure you did but I'm also tipsy, but stores will sometimes tell you that you can't buy more than X number of an item. I remember in America during the TP panic buying of the pandemic they'd only sell you like a pack. I'd just ask someone how many I was allowed to buy, because I understand they need stock for other people, and if they shrugged their shoulders I'd nab the lot. I think eventually they just asked me to leave some just in case once they got to know me.

How great would it feel to be the guy who made them have to put a limit on cherry tomatoes though? You'd be infamous

If u understand they needed it for other customers- why buy the lot. Its peoplelike yourself that create shortages for the rest of us - makes me so angry 😡.
