Here's the truly stupid part.

Tiring to the point of hallucinating, Bartels said he decided to go home before he was thrown out.
He considered the project a failure.
Then, The Des Moines Register, which had been contacted by Spaulding-Kruse, called to ask him about the experience. Once the story ran, TV networks began calling.
He also talked with a book agent, has been contacted by New Line Cinema about a movie concept and did a radio interview with National Public Radio.
Bartels told The Associated Press he has decided the stunt wasn't such a failure after all.

"Wow, he hung out at a store for two days??? AMAZING!"
I really don't find this impressive at all and agree with the kid's earlier assessment - failure. Now if he'd stayed for at least 4 days, then we're getting somewhere. Anyone can stand around and look at stuff. The real story is in finding secluded spots to take quick naps so he could survive. Apparently he sucked at that.
