Well, let's cover what your doing right:

Great. Let's run with this. Try chatting with a few people in the store before you go browsing. Especially the clerk, owner, manager, etc. Ever hear that you should be good friends with your neighbors so that they'll be more likely to call for help if something's a miss. Same principal. Once you've gained rapport with the staff and regulars, they'll keep an eye on you. And if the sidlers notice that your being looked after, they'll walk off. ^_^

Awesome. I know this technique too. In fact, I taught it to my speach class. I still have it typed up in Word. Learn it. Like you said, it doesn't take much effort. And besides, no matter how big they are, the body has a lot of soft spots. Like the eyes. *_^
