Make PC always teleport to tile east of casino shopkeeper
Make the player character always teleport to the tile east of the casino shopkeeper. Of course, while the tile is available, otherwise NE, SE, etc.

This should happen whenever the PC is on the casino level, the shopkeeper exists and a flag is set that the PC has picked up an item(s) in the shop that are unpaid or stolen.

Currently the shopkeeper has control over the PC's teleportation only inside the shop before the thief flag is set.
I don't think the shopkeeper should lose this ability then and I think it should be extended to the whole level after the flag is set.

This suggestion adresses 2 issues. The PC sometimes teleports to the west of the shopkeeper making steeling easier and prevents telerobbing the shop so easily.

I feel like the feature is there not to make robbing harder but simply make browsing the shop possible for those with teleportitis. I don't think this would make much of a difference, since the distance from shopkeeper to stairs is short, but since he already does have the ability, it doesn't make much sense for him to lose it suddenly when he'd really need it.

I disagree strongly with this suggestion. When you become a thief, the game specifically says that your TP is no longer under some strange control (or w/e the message is). This makes perfect sense and this issue has already been fixed a lot now that the casino guards have been massively beefed up.

The distance is not that short with 20 guards in between and a shopkeeper with a speed twice that of the PC.
