A new shopping method. Walk into store. Ask for a discount on some product. Shop-keeper refuses. Declare the price is too high. Take the product, toss $10 on the counter and tell the shop-keeper that's all he gets. Leave store with product.

Shop-keeper phones police.

"Buyer" complains of serial litigation and prosecution by shop-keeper.

Eurocourt decides shop-keepers should charge only what the buyers are willing to pay in the case of those who simply take the product without permission.

In some places, that doesn't make sense.
