[quote=Anonymous]The DCUM toddler parent mantra.  Please repeat after me!

“I will do whatever is convenient for me.  I do not care if it is illegal, wrong or inconvenient to others.  I will do what works best for ME!”

Seriously, I have never done this and I would never do it.  What you are doing is illegal.  At the time the item is consumed, you have not purchased the item and your intent is only known to you.  It may not seem like a big deal, but in certain stores (The Safeway in SW, for example), you would get checked on this practice pretty quickly. Of course, you would be outraged at being labeled a criminal and you would promise never to shop at that store again because you fully intended to pay for it.  How dare a store manager compare you to a shoplifter!  .

Also, I would not want my kids to think it is ok to grab stuff off the shelf and eat it. They may be in the store with someone else (grandma, other parents) and they might think that is acceptable behavior.  I would be horrified if the story circulated throughout the family or in the pre-school that my DC was snatching stuff from the shelf in the store and tearing into it.  Spin it how you like, it is not socially acceptable behavior.
