This actually happened 8 years ago in my freshman year of highschool. Also, first post on reddit so let me know if I did anything wrong.
A little backstory, my very good friend was expelled from school for drug use and I wasn't aware of it at the time until he got a phone and told me about it. A month or two later we decide to get together because we haven't seen each other since he got expelled. I stay after school and he walks there so we can meet up.
Now, he was sort of a "bad boy" in that he stole stuff, did drugs, drank alcohol, etc. Keep in mind, we were almost the complete opposite in that respect; he liked stealing and doing drugs and stuff whereas I never took anything more than children's Tylenol.
It was hot as fuck and we were walking down the street deciding what to do when he says "dude, ya wanna help me steal some drinks n stuff?" After some convincing (and for fear of being labeled a pussy) I reluctantly agree.
We walk to Wal-Mart and he tries to give me a pep talk like "it's not that hard, just take some drinks and walk out like you have nothing to hide." We both just stand outside of the entrance working up the testicular fortitude to pull off the mission.
After about 10 minutes of this we finally go inside. We walk to the food section of Wal-Mart and pick out what we wanted to take. He gets a bag of chips and I take two 1 liter bottles of Pepsi from the little side refrigerators they have in the back. As if it weren't already suspicious enough that there were two teenage boys walking rather quickly through a Wal-Mart, I start sweating balls and breathing hard and staring at the ground trying to avoid eye contact with everybody in the store.
My friend successfully makes it outside as he was far ahead of me. I speed walked through the crowds and right as I thought I was home free, this huge security guard stops me and says quite loudly as for everybody to stop what they are doing and stare at me "Hey! Are you gonna pay for those?" I stop dead in my tracks, frozen with terror. My face was cherry red as I fumbled for any explanation I could think of. Half the store is staring at me and shaking their heads. I am pretty self conscious so this was absolutely mortifying. Unsure of how to react, I hand the guard the bottles and 'nope' the fuck out of the store feeling the stare of a thousand eye balls on the back of my head.
My friend was sitting on a bench outside of the store waiting for me. He sees me empty handed and says "where are the bottles?" I tell him I didn't get them and we walk the hell out of there. I explained it to him and he starts laughing his ass off while I was trying to keep my bowels from voiding themselves.
Needless to say, that was my first and last time ever attempting to shoplift again.
TL;DR Tried to steal soda from Wal-Mart, got stopped by a huge security guard, ran out the store all while about 100 people stare at me in shock.
