Actually, I've heard that it's perfectly legal to go into a store and do
something like this.  I go into PDQ's all the time and fill up a cup of pop
and start drinking it long before I pay for it...  It becomes a crime the
minute you walk out the door without having paid.  (Of course, the store
has a right to demand payment _immediately_ and kick you out as soon as
you've done so... no doubt they would, if you went to a store and started
eating bag after bag of Chee-tos! :-) )
