Last time I was at the store I put some bread in my shopping bag, then walked past the cashier and took it home.
What made you think it was okay to steal the bread without paying?
It's very tasty actually, I'm surprised
When there is missing inventory or if something distinctive is gone from the shelves, they may find that you stole the item. It's best to make amends with the store and pay for your item.
I think this was the right move, I really need the bread.
You should have paid for it then, as most people would agree. If you continue to steal from stores then everyone will think you are a thief and like you less.
