[quote=Anonymous]I am the PP who posted the mantra.  It was a tongue in cheek comment, but clearly there is some truth to parts of it.  As parents, we often push the envelope in favor of what is expedient for us. I thought about it a lot in the context of the stroller/escalator discussions last week.  Most of us are guilty of it at some point. We all KNOW that it is not intended for someone to open and consume food in the store before paying for it. Yet, folks justify it by saying it is no big deal or that they are preventing a meltdown, etc.  Lucky for us, we live in an area where most people do not give a damn 99% of the time.  Beware!  There are states where that is illegal and there are local stores where (there was mention of one store where the manager will approach you about it) your justification may not fly.   Just curious though.  Would any of you take your kid to Target, open a toy and let your DC play with it while you shop?   Would your thoughts on this issue be different if your 3YO took it upon themselves to grab something and start eating it without your permission? [/quote]
