[quote=Anonymous]I need clarification.
The article says "they saved the wrappers, but the wrappers were missed.". What does that mean?  Miised how?  Did the mom shove the wrappers in her purse & "forget" to pay for the sandwiches?  Or did they put the wrappers on the belt with their other items & the clerk didn't scan them?  I think if you put everything on the belt & the clerk fails to scan something, you should speak up if you notice, but if you don't notice & aren't charged for the item, I don't think that's shoplifting.  But here, where the wrappers might look like trash, the onus was on them to give the wrappers to the clerk and say they wanted to be charged for the sandwiches.

I have never eaten a sandwich in the grocery store, but I have opened a box of crackers or cookies to let my kids have some & then paid for it when I checked out.  I thought that was common practice & as long as you are still in the store & haven't checked out, I'm not sure how it can be considered shoplifting.      [/quote]
