It doesn't leave the shelf until proven paid

On Saturday, I find my fridge was almost barren. So, I had to go out to hunt for food at the mall. Because of the rain, I had to make a pitstop to purchase an umbrella at the department store.

I am glad that I heard about how things are purchased at the department store beforehand. So, I was prepared to experience the process.

I am in the department store somewhere in Pudong.
The salesgirl has taken me through a series of umbrellas.
I decided on the one that I want.
The salesgirl escorted me to the cashier with the bill.
I pay the cashier.
Then, we walk back to the umbrella rack to collect the goods.
She asks me whether I needed a bag for my umbrella.
I answered no.
So, I walked out holding my new umbrella in my hand.
Interesting.
