[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watched a woman use her child to steal food from the hot bar at premium grocery store.

I was about to grab an item  from the hot bar. She was there before me. Then she got on her phone. I noticed the toddler (not infant but 1-2 year old) in the stroller.

What made me look hard was the container she used. She grabbed a soup container from the other side of the bar (instead of the hot bar containers). Then she put about 10 premium chicken nuggets in the container and then handed them to jar daughter to eat.

I thought that maybe she would try to pass them off as soup at the checkout. But no, she had the kid eat the nuggets. I was behind her at checkout. 3 cannolis put on the conveyor while the kid remained hidden in the stroller, finishing up the nuggets.

Security guard was nearby. He did not see it. I told the clerks and she hurried out of the store before anything could have been said. I’m sure that had I not said anything that she would have “sampled” more food.

Why are you monitoring what other people do, much less post about it? What is your major dysfunction? This isn’t going to affect Jeff. [/quote]

OP here.  People like you sort of annoy me.  Everyone has the right to come here and share their thoughts and/or story. You have the right to respond or to ignore what I post.  This is an off-topic forum for topics just like this.  I don't understand your problem with this. You act as if I can't share my experience because you don't like me talking about this. I am grateful that Jeff and others offer a platform for sharing what appears to be a divided social issue.

Last night, I sat around a table with friends and shared this story and asked for their honest take. Some things resonated with what some of you have shared. Other things fell in line with my thinking. But we all agreed that this is an honest issue, a challenging issue and more importantly an issue that will probably continue to manifest itself in other stores due to the economics of our lives right now.

I still say that this is an all or nothing type of issue. I've just seen it and heard about it in so many situations.  But the good news for his lady and her child is that there are forms of resource help and government aid for those in need.  That's all that we can do.[/quote]
