at stores that have a “do not interfere with shoplifters” policy, are people able to just walk in, take whatever they want, and leave without paying; or are there repercussions at some point?

One time I was given a $100 gift certificate to target for Christmas. I never shopped there so I wasn’t sure what to buy. Went in and walked around the store checking stuff out. Didn’t do anything our of the ordinary. I picked stuff up and read boxes, for example a nice pair of headphones, pc mouse, car stuff.
Security came up to me and started interrogating me as if I were actively stealing shit. I was like uhh what? No I’m literally shopping because I was given a gift card. He didn’t seem to believe me and watched me from a distance for the next half hour.
I ended up spending $300 on a bunch of random shit. Spent the next hour taking my time collecting all the stuff I could. After checking out they stopped me and verified every single item was paid for.
Fuck that dude. Haven’t gone back to that target since.
