But yes, if they know you have an item, you're shit out of luck.

maybe that's the case at wally-world, but not at lowe's. there is one loss prevention guy where i work, not a team. as far as the rest of us, we are specifically told to treat the customer as if nothing was going on (EVEN if we saw them take it), and we are under no circumstances to accuse them or confront them about anything.
i seriously had to watch a video where there were scenarios in which a lowe's employee watched a guy stick stuff under his shirt.. then when he walked through the EAS, it of course went off. THEN, when the employee said "i'm sorry, we must have forgotten to deactive our electronic inventory control device" the guy RAN... and the lowe's employee just stood there and watched him go. it's really quite the aggravating thing to witness.
