True, but the risk of stealing food is often lower than the risk of stealing more expensive items, as more expensive items are often better secured and better covered by surveillance.
Maybe. Some places like Walmart won’t stop you the first few times regardless of what you take. They have a history of waiting until they can prove it’s a pattern and get you with federal charges
It would only become federal charges if you’re doing something that brings it into federal jurisdiction, such as somehow conspiring across state lines to steal from walmart, or stealing from a walmart that’s located in DC or on an indian reservation.
