A thief brazenly helped himself to food from a Greggs chiller and calmly walked out without paying – telling staff, ‘Don’t talk to me like that’.
The man – wearing a hoodie, dark coat and tracksuit trousers – chose two items before heading towards the exit.
A video showed him answering back when a member of staff asked him to pay.

It happened at an outlet in Coventry, West Mids, as reported by Need To Know.
The clip shows him stood in the doorway saying: “I am going to pay for it, I’m not a tramp.
“I’m asking my dad for the rest of the money – don’t talk to me like that bro.”
He then turns and walks off.
Locals were shocked by the clip.
One person said: “Who can blame Greggs if they install barriers at the door where you have to provide payment details before you enter?
“Very depressing.”
Another viewer added: “Where’s the grifter gonna pinch from when they are all forced to shut down?”
Someone else said: “It’s just accepted these days.
“Whilst the rest of us struggle with money and queue to pay.”
And another person chipped in: “Zero tolerance is needed everywhere because all places are now just becoming a joke.
“Round up all drunks, crackheads and all anti social teenagers and give them one chance to change.
“Then just lock them up in lorry container cells with no frills, a loo and bed, that’s all.”
