When I worked in the supermarket, that kind of thing always hacked me right off. No, I am not going to touch the nasty, slobber covered apple core your child has been gnawing on. What I am going to do is to call a supervisor, ask her to find another apple for me to weigh and weigh it so that you can pay for what you stole to give to your child. And yes, supervisors always brought back the largest, most expensive apple they could find cuz this kind of thing was just nasty. Particularly since you know that apple core is not going to end up in the bin; it's more than likely destined to be either dropped on the floor or left in the trolley to act as wasp bait.

Quoth HawaiianShirts View PostWe have fruit-and-grain bars in the car exactly for this purpose, and we generally make sure to have dinner before going grocery shopping. I remember being a kid and getting hungry in the store. I didn't get to eat anything until I got back home afterward, or maybe a snack in the car if I was lucky.
My parents once caught me eating a grape I took in the supermarket. They told me I was weighed in and on the way out and that they would know I was heavier. I was terrified! I remember trying to jump over the area next to the cashier cause that's where I assumed the scales would be. I was relieved that I had "got away" with my crime but so scared that I may go to jail I never did it again!Last edited by DGoddessChardonnay; 12-20-2014, 03:05 PM.

*To be fair, they were some great looking strawberries, they reminded me of the ones you get in an edible bouquet.

Quoth Deevil View PostK thought of us as second parents. One time we were at the grocery store and K, who was 8 at the time, decided to start eating the strawberries in the produce section "because they were too tempting*".Now, I'd like to digress from my prepared remarks to discuss how I invented the terlet...

Quoth veniteangeli View PostAt eight, those strawberries could have had a rehearsed song and dance routine enticing the kid to eat them and she STILL would have been old enough to know better. At eight, those strawberries could have reached out, grabbed her by the collar and DEMANDED she eat them and she STILL would have been old enough to know better. Temptation = not justification.
