Zelgadis makes his way over to the cashier counter to investigate closer, maybe he can find some runes for some kinda... anti-stealing food enchantment or something?? He's not entirely sure what he's looking for, and the absence of a shop keeper is really making this difficult.

"Well, whatever this is seems to be meant to keep people from leaving without paying, which leads me to believe that there is no shop keeper. Maybe just try leaving your money over here? The best thing we have to work with now is trial and error."
