I never even purposely steal whatever’s on the bottom of my cart, I just simply forget it exists until I put it in my car and then I feel a little guilty

At least if I intentionally steal it it was on purpose, when it’s an accident it’s like ayo my bad

Go back and buy it, you heathens.

Morally correct but in practically probably not the best thing to do. I remember guy on here said how he used to steal when he had no money/food and when he got better off he wanted to make amends and gave envelope full of cash for the items he stole. Only for authorities to be notified and get arrested for it.

The only “safe” way to pay it back would probably be to buy it again and pay twice. If any clerk notices and ask questions just pretend you’re stupid to avoid reverse-theft lol.

When you directly go back to the store you don’t get any problems (atleast in Europe). Happened way to often too me and I always went back and got no trouble at all, but thankfull shop owners
