I just went in to Lowe’s to have a key made. I put it on my keychain as soon as it was made, and without thinking tore off the tag with UPC code. When I got to the checkout lanes, the self-checkouts were open, but there was no cashier in sight. The tag wouldn’t scan since it was in two pieces, and I still couldn’t find a cashier. So I said screw it, and left without paying. If Lowe’s goes under anytime soon, you’ll know who to blame.

So, you deliberately stole an item and came in here to boast about it? Nice.
