I've worked retail security before and I'll just advise you what is likely to happen if you try that:

1. You could get banned from the store, even if you didn't manage to steal a thing.

If you don't know how that works, PM me and I'll explain it to you. This is how stores prevent the vast majority of "shrinkage".

2. If you are dumb enough to actually get caught stealing, you'll get arrested, processed and have a criminal record.

Do you really want that?

I am too but haven't thought about shoplifting til just now. Why don't you get on food stamps instead of stealing? Or, you could try to get someone else with food to be generous? Come on, stealing is your first solution? That's like saying, "I can't get a job, does anyone have a problem with me being a prostitute?"

If you can go to a food bank or church that gives away food, do that first so you won't get caught and arrested. But everyone has a right to eat, so do what you must, just don't get caught. If you were here, I would happily cook you a meal.

Inspector Javert might have a problem with it; Jean Valjean would understand.

Um hit up your mom's kitchen? siblings? good friend? ask your local church for help? All of these are better options than going to jail because you're hungry.

go to an italian restaurant that serves free bread...most do. Sit in and order your meal. After they give you bread (& butter etc) apologize.. say you have an emergency....and leave. Also you can go to Whole Foods stores, they have free samples of food all around the store. And Le Madeleine has free grain bread if you buy $1.50 cup of coffee.

Nope. The British sent people to Australia for the exact same deeds. Get some help eventually though, please?

nope... But a friend of mine was in the same boat but she went to an all you can eat restaurant and did not pay she would wait for a large group of people stand in line with them when they were paying and slip out when they were leaving. She never got caught lucky she was I guess but she said she only done it a few times.
