Annoying habit of people at supermarkets and stores to bring a bunch of items to a cashier, have them ring up the total, then have them take back the items and subtract them from the total one by one until the total is an amount they can afford.

Usually a person on the darker side of society's edge,a scammer, self assured, scandalous, self motivated often by the need of quick cash for the next "hook up".

One who scours the ground or searches thru near-by trash cans at the exit doors of a buzy retail store hoping to pick up a discarded store receipt, enter the store, then collect each item listed, and then proceed straight to the customer service desk, and promptly, effect a fast cash return for the items. This person is a reverse shopper.
I saw Scandalous Sandy today at Home Depo., she was reverse shopping again. She said she would stop by later that she was almost finished shopping and ready to cash in her shopping list. She waved good bye and smiled as she studied the crumpled receipt clutched in her hands and headed straight to thereturn dept.

When you go to the local sporting goods store and find a hoodie you like then proceed to the register to pay for said hoodie. Reverse shopping is only a simplified version of shopping with less steps. You find a hoodie you like and instead of paying for said hoodie you skip that step(streamlining it) and proceed directly to car without spending a wooden nickel
A man found a House depot reciept. Took it in home depot. Got everything that was on the reciept and put it in carriage. Proceeded directly to customer service and produced the reciept and returned said items in carriage for a full refund. A simple definition of reverse shopping is stealing.
