I have programmed my Walkie Talkies for the store radio's. Should I sit in my truck across the road and make sicking noises? I am not even sure the store radio's will work because of something called ctcss tones. Meaning the store radio's will block out other radio's on same RF. I may take them tomorrow and see if they work.

Every one will know its you considering they hear you moaning cause youre getting but fu cked daily.
I wouldn't. It does indeed depend on what Corporate if anything, has programmed the codes to be (which won't be the same code as what the store radio shows, you will have some sub frequency digging to do), and honestly since these are business use frequencies, if the FCC gets wind, I'd not cross their path, as they can start with seizure of all your equipment and fines as high as 10k a day if caught. I've had it happen to a friend who tried it with Burger King for a week long, disrupting operations. Day later after the next week, 2 black vans and some PD units showed up and with the help of some rf hunters (yes that is a legit thing) PD confiscated all his gear and turned it over to the FCC, arrested, the FCC pinned 15 thousand dollars for fines on him, and had him in jail for 14 days.
I personally wouldn't but that's just me, as people think the FCC has no bite, but it does. Just be careful, as if you do, and they come knocking, you'll be in for a very unfriendly talk with law enforcement and them.
your store has walkie talkies? I always wished we could get them so I could make farting noises and the customer would think the employees have the gas

I know all about the FCC. I had an uncle that had a very powerful CB once he was in a parking lot talking with someone. And the store he was at his brother my other uncle had a CB in the store and got on and told him there was a funny looking van across the street with some thing on top going round and round. I was kidding anyway I am not going to do this. These Walkie Talkie's I have I programmed them for FRS frequencies. But I did find the store frequencies with a police scanner. These radio's they sell them but it said's they are to be used by people who know what to do. And I pretty much know the law and they are legal as long as I keep them on FRS channels.

Incorrect actually, they are Part 90 based radios and are not type accepted for Parts 95 and 97. Read up a little more on the actual regulation and you'd know that because the radios are frequency programmable and have a higher power setting then is allowed by both Parts regulations for equipment acceptance and emission certifications. Either way, illegal all around. And the FCC didn't care that they were made "legal" as the FCC destroyed them anyway for being outside of compliance with regulation. If it has an antenna that can be changed, has more then 0.5W power output on any frs channel, and is frequency programmable with a keypad / pc vs being hard coded at the factory so nothing can be changed to alter that by an end user, it is illegal. End of story, just a little education is all
