If I could be convinced that my chances faired better as far as treatment/safety from harm in an establishment frequented by POC I would borrow more from there.

But based on experience and observation, that isn’t the case. Public shame is a non-factor. Because a Black shoplifter will get demonized either way.

There is a sense of arrogance and naïveté in predominantly white patronized establishments that almost always makes it a better/easier choice.
