[ It is Alberto's first time being banned from an entire location. He's had jukebox privileges revoked back in Portorosso, but he was still allowed to go in the bar itself...! So this comes as a shockingly harsh punishment to their crimes, he feels. His knee-jerk reaction is of course to object, collecting himself and rising to his feet clumsily. ]
Wha— No, wait! But I actually need stuff!
[ He reaches in his jacket pockets and pulls out at least half a dozen tubes of purple body paint, fistfuls in each hand. How did he even stuff that many in his pockets?! The manager, in his outrage and aggravation, misunderstands Alberto's pleas to make a purchase, and instead focuses on the fact that Alberto had a bunch of product stuffed in his pockets. His knee-jerk reaction is to treat Alberto as if he's guilty of shoplifting, too — when in fact he's just guilty of not using a shopping basket like a normal human...
Either way, his pockets full of paint don't help their case at all, and the manager forces him to hand over every last one, refusing to hear Alberto out and cutting off any attempts to beg for the sale and accusing him of theft, doubling down on his threat to call the police if Alberto doesn't leave. It's a good thing Alberto's at that age where burnt out retail workers are willing to turn a blind eye as long as the child removes themselves from the store immediately... But he doesn't do so without some heavy glaring and pouting. He shoves his hands in his empty pockets, body language petulant as can be, and begins to walk off after Katsuki, glowering down at the ground as they walk outside together. ]
