A generally shitty and lifeless place where people usually wait in line to exchange their money for products ("goods"). The employees are enslaved by stores, as they are forced by societal problems to count the money all day in exchange for a meager
percentage of the profit generated from these transactions. At stores, objects ("goods") are usually not free, as they are available only in exchange for customers' money and not just for the taking. If you take something without giving money ("paying"), you will most likely
eventually end up either dead, in jail/prison, possibly even tackled or in a fistfight, and with a criminal record preventing you from getting
one of these shitty money-counting jobs that keep stores functioning, depending on what you shoplift, how often you do it, and how much you take.
