to keep a dvd that my 3 year old accidently stole from a supermarket today?

[goodomen]

I was shopping at a major supermarket today and had agreed to let dd have a dvd for 5.99. She was holding it in the trolley.

Basically I forgot to give to the check out person to swipe so we didn't pay for it.
I only realised this after I had strapped my other 2 children in to the car and was lifting dd out of the trolley and saw it on her knee.
I didn't want to have to go all the way back in.
I feel a bit guilty, but then again I must have spent thousands of pounds at this shop over the years.

What do you think. AIBU to keep it? Is it stealing? Do I worry too much?

if its not greggs it doesn't count. - don't pass your fake sausage rolls off here lady

I mean, it just so happened the alarm didn't go off, too.

I miss Gregg's. We don't have one here. We have these two bakeries, but I think their sausage rolls suck.

no not greggs! Was from Co-op on the way to the farm lol!!

I would have taken the DVD back btw if I was still on store property.

ooooooooooh "the co-op" bet you buy free range too - next you will be growing rosemary and thyme

otherwise I would have taken it back next time

I have some mint in the garden, does that count pmsl!!!

Cluttered, if you couldn't find a trace for the money and looked into it as much as you could, then keep it. I would. But then, me and my dd have no morals, we're criminals doncha know

hey, stop dissing Co-Op! it's all we've got out here but this dump of a Somerfield. Co-op bought them out, though. Hurray!

I've got mint, thyme, chives and curly parsley.

My dad's side of the family were farmers and ranchers.

mint totally counts!

I like our local co-op, very friendly staff, and I know where everything is. Post office lady is lovely too, but they are closing it

see expat would deffo pass the mn entry test. she makes her own laundry powder and wittles pegs our of old prosthetics at the back of the hospital ( recycle , recycle)

does it count if I say my MIL gave me it and I will properably kill it before it even grows (am a crap gardener)

pegs she made earlier

LMAO!!! wittles peg

ooooo bat pegs I need those!!

yip still counts.

Thank you LATL. I think DP and I must be criminals as well because I should definitely be feeling guiltier than I do, judging from a lot of the posts on this topic!

nite, custy. i'm off to try to get some kip as well.

not going to happen well after watching that fucking 'Ghosthunters' and hearing those ghost voices.

Honest Mistake: to leave the store without realising your dd was holding something that hadn't been paid for.

Stealing: to realise the dvd hadn't been paid for, but decide to leave anyway, rather than going back inside to return dvd or pay for it.

Morally Dubious and just plain wrong: to return the dvd to the shop next time you go in even though your children have now already watched it.

Making the best of a bad situation: go into the shop tomorrow and speak to manager. Explain what happened, and pay for dvd.
