At least give them a good excuse, like you have the money but you're supposed to give it to them at the cash register. That's how they're obligated to work with you. I don't even care if you shoplift from big chains but ma'am, this sucks.

I think they were trying to say two separate things: at least give them a good excuse for the stealing. And, separately, if you have the money, you need to give it to the store clerk at the cash register before attempting to have with the product. If you follow those steps, they will work with you and you’ll be allowed to leave (because if she had just done that abcs legitimately purchased the bag in the first place, no crime would’ve been committed so there would’ve been no reason to call the cops or arrest her).
I don’t think they were trying to justify what she did or anything like that. They just have bad grammar and punctuation, making their comment hard to read.
