People eating food they haven't paid for....

[maddiemookins16mum]

....It just really bugs me. To the point of utter revulsion.
In a supermarket, grown adults opening a pack of 4 pork pies and happily munching their way around the shop, only to toss the empty pack to be scanned as their shopping goes through. Why do people do that, have you ever, and why??? (DD had to wait until the car for her gingerbreadman biscuit from Waitrose).

Although Tbf the nineties were just the seventies but slim fit.

misshoolie

As long as the bath isn't still in the B&Q store you will be fine

Sometimes I go shopping with my DC after school, it can be a good couple of hours after so they might have had nothing for 5 or 6 hours. (Teacher, so they've not been home)
So, yes. They can get hungry. And yes, I will let them eat stuff before I've paid for it. Sometimes, I'm so hungry myself by this point that I will eat something as well eg a biscuit. Not ideal but after having worked through my lunchtime and eaten nothing, I don't really care.
My DC know that mostly anything is fair game, so long as the barcode remains intact. Tbh, by the time I get it all home and unpacked and put away, it can easily be 8 hours since they had their lunch. So I really don't care if they eat half a packet of biscuits on the way round!!!!
Plenty of time for gourmet, organic 4 course meals on other non-shipping nights

Disclaimer: I don't actively seek to take them with me, sometimes that's just the way the cookie crumbles. So to speak!

a choice of beef and tomato or chicken and mushroom (to go with the choice of red or white wine obviously)

Oh my, I go to tuck the Littlies in and you come up with a gem like that!

I miss the 90s I was young then

It felt dreadfully vulgar eating outside of the dining room.

OMG

I always had you at 30ish Pacific, surely that's still young?
