Urban Sprinting, it's the new craze!

Here are the rules:

1) Go into a department store.

2) Do NOT take any merchandise, but be sure to set off the alarm on the way out. This starts the clock.

3) Wait for security to give chase, then start running. If the guard catches you, you FAIL.

4) The clock stops when you reach the nearest fast food joint. (Burger King, McDonald's, etc.)

5) Lowest time wins.

"Isn't this illegal?"

Not as far as I know -- nothing is stolen, and private security guards are not law enforcement. Of course, if a police officer orders you to stop, you should do so immediately. Getting arrested will definitely ruin your day.

"Isn't this dangerous?"

Possibly. You should consult your doctor before attempting such things.

"This is mean to security guards!"

Is it any meaner than overzealous security guards/employees at the nearest K-Mart or Best Buy who treat paying customers like thieves and demand to see their receipts for something you just purchased 10 feet away? You tell me -- discuss it in the comments all you like.

Finally, here's the game in action:
