[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the Safeway I go to with my son, they always have free samples at the deli counter and bakery, so if he is hungry, we can go to one of those sections with no problem.  I personally would never eat something without paying for it, and if my son asks for something in our cart, I let him know we can eat it when we get in the car.

[b]I have never had the experience of my child being excruciatingly starving while grocery shopping, but it that occurred I would pick out something small and go purchase it from the self-serve check out line and then continue with my shopping.  If I had a consistently excruciatingly starving child (which I don't) I would learn to either make sure he eats before going to the store or bring snacks with me.[/b]

I don't really understand the necessity of eating something before paying for it since there are so many other options that are [b]much more legal.[/b][/quote]

:roll:

It's not about being hungry. It gives them something to do. It's a snack, not a flippin' meal. And "much more legal," really? Save the drama for your mama.

LOL! I love "much more legal"!!! The courts would have a field day with that. Option A is a little less legal than Option B, but they are all much more legal than option C! It's kind of like being a little bit pregnant. You are, or you aren't. That simple. And until someone can cite actual law stating that opening a box of crackers mid-shopping and paying for the empty box at the end is illegal, gues what, people - it's not illegal!!! Jeez.[/quote]

There are some seriously misguided individuals around here. They really need to stop watching reruns of Law and Order. [/quote]
