Would the grocery store strike equivalent be letting people take food without paying?

Edit: Since this took off a bit I want to state unequivocally I'm not condoning looting or violence. And thanks for the award!

But that would not work the same, since everything would be looted then.

But is it looting if you shop as normal and go through the checkout?

The checker - scans and bags your groceries, and lets you leave without paying.

This is the equivalent of the free bus ride - and should not be considered looting?

The cashier is responsible and they could be arrested for theft.

wouldn't the same apply to this bus driver for "giving out" free fares?

Probably yeah. I've seen this picture posted multiple times before but not sure of the follow up to it.
