Placing a companion on the entrance and issuing a wait command will prevent the shopkeeper from blocking it when the PC picks up the items. The PC then may switch places with his/her companion and be free to leave the shop without paying. Note that this is rightfully treated as offense, and will trigger all negative consequences the moment the PC leaves the shop. Move The Move command allows the PC to target a tile within his line of sight and order the companion to go to that tile.
