It's a Mall Thing
There is nothing more embarrassing than walking out of a store in a mall only to have the security system start beeping. You know you paid and are eager to get home to try on your new clothes, but there's a crowd of judgy people standing in your way.
Those security systems are often faulty, or they react to some tags that the clerks forgot to take off. Now, because of them, everyone thinks you are a thief. What a pain in the neck! Now, lady, tell everyone loud and clear that it was a mistake!
