This can be very convenient, especially when you turn nonchalantly to a security person, say "could you hold this a sec'?", hand them your basket of purchases, and just don't ask for it back. They are trained to provide customer service, after all. If you're good, they'll follow you around, feeling awkward, and you can even push it up a notch by continuing to put your new stuff into the basket while they continue to hold it. If they protest, you can ask innocently, "but why are you following me around?", followed quickly by (before they can complete their answer), "Oooh, could you reach *that* for me?" Sadly, I look far too clean cut to play this game now (I go right under security radar), but gawd this used to be fun! Could also get the security people to page "associates" for help finding vanagon toys, camp chairs, muffler bearings, whatever.
