A local record store routinely fails to "de-activate" the merchandise
I am buying causing the shoplifting alarm to go off as I leave the
store.  Sure, the situation is cleared up immediately but the other
customers do look up from their browsing and stare.  I once chastised
the sales clerk about the legal implications of their false alarms
on innocent customers.  Now I wonder what kind of legal hassle they
might be inviting by their carelessness.
