You have to be retarded to get caught stealing in a supermarket

The surveillance in the smaller stores like Iceland / Home Bargains is almost non existent

stealing my way to better health :^)

I work in a supermarket.

If there's no security or a manager around, you'll probably get away with doing it right in front of a general assistant; no-one is going to risk their life for someone who pays you minimum wage and treats you like shit unless they have a serious hero complex.

No-one monitors the cameras, the screens are just locked in the server room that no-one goes in.

I don't know what stores are like in other places (UK here) but it's stupidly easy to nick shit from supermarkets or larger convenience stores. Hell, even some high street shops. In my experience the best way is to buy something so as to not raise suspicion.

As long as you're not retarded and pick something expensive enough to warrant a tag that will set off the alarm then you can walk out with pockets absolutely full of small shit without a second glance if you go buy a pack of gum or something.
