Just try. But first, you'll want a refresher on the French Revolution, letting the starving "eat cake" and the amazing effectiveness of guillotines.

You'll get your stores raided if you control and gouge something like food and water though, possibly ending with a head in a grocery cart. Police might even help.

Cable has a bit more leeway with the crowd I'd imagine, though there'd still definitely be consequences. Just not as dramatic consequences. I'd hope people protest gouged cable prices peacefully.
