My son and I chose some loose "Pick & Mix" type sweets today (a rare treat, not a daily thing!)in the local newsagents. They were the kind with no wrapping on, not my first choice generally but my son had made his decision!
He chose four, I chose two. We went to pay, told the shop assistant there were six in the bag (which could easily be seen through the bag anyway) yet he then opened the bag and handled a couple of the sweets to count them! We use that shop almost daily so the staff know us to an extent, hopefully it's pretty obvious that we're an honest family! As I said though, he could have counted them without even opening the bag anyway!
I was tempted to ask to choose a replacement bag of sweets, but I bit my lip...now I wish I had said more than the polite "I'd prefer them not touched" that I actually said after he had already manhandled two of the sweets.... What would you have done or said? Or indeed thought?
