> [@BigT](#): > > If he did it to multiple boxes but only bought one, I could think maybe he just thinks he’s doing some sort of Robin Hood thing, marking down the prices to what he thinks they should cost for everyone. And then, since he’s done such a good deed, he also gets to do it for his own purchase, as a reward. Sounds almost noble, but it’s also quite likely he realized that they may be able to find him on videotape making the purchases. If he wasn’t the only one making those purchases, it would make it much harder for them to focus their attention on him. IOW, he just needed some patsies and hoped to blend in with the crowd. He had his reputation to protect! ---
