What are two different ways you could use rhetoric to persuade the cashier that you didn't steal the water, and which do you think would be most effective?

You can use facts (logos) and the appeal to emotion (ethos) in order to persuade the cashier, although facts and evidence would be a lot more effect since you can actually prove you didn't steal the water bottle, rather than blurting out random phrases and perform sycophantic behaviors.
