To generalize a countable noun, you should pluralize it, but sometimes it's confusing if a plural word is a generalization or actuall plural things. Is this "stores" a generalization, while the latter are actual plural thing judging from the context? How can you tell the difference between the two, a generalization and plural things?
ex)Gina is my best friend. But she has a bad habit. She steals things from stores. Last month, she showed me some things in her room:pens, magazines, and even some CDs.
