This is what I always expect to say if I'm questioned. I used to get stares when I would shop at the local supermarket but I think they know me by now (moved here 6 months ago). I also usually take my backpack off when I pay to get my wallet out and to put my stuff in the bag, so they are given a chance to glance inside to see if I've taken anything too.
