I agree. If Shemp had very firmly said, "WAIT a minute!" as the woman was about to leave, then when she and the clerk looked at him, said to the clerk, "I think you may have missed a few items," that would probably have done the trick. Knowing you had seen what happened, they probably wouldn't have tried to argue with you because they'd be afraid you'd make a fuss and call the manager. They'd then have taken care of it. The clerk would have been pissed off, but the woman would probably have been grateful. Actually the clerk should have been grateful too that you'd given them the chance to make it right instead of reporting them. I have to say I most likely wouldn't have figured this out in time had it been me; I can easily understand why Shemp didn't do anything. Of course, this tactic might or might not have kept them from doing it again...
