How do you discipline your DC?

My DS is 18 months old and so doesn't require much discipling at the mo - just a bit of a telling off and finger pointing when he starts a bit of minor tantrumming or throwing food around.
But for the future - and maybe this is being a bit premature because he may not need much disciplining (Fingers crossed!) but am just interested in finding out how other peoeple discipline their children. I have seen other kids throwing major, embarassing tantrums in supermarkets and would be mortified if mine did that. I have been wondering how I would deal with it. My current thinking is that I would lift him out of the trolley, take him outside and give him a real talking to - and deal with it properly when I got home. Just not sure though.

LOL, dd is going through this right now!! (drives you insane, doesn't it?

My actual response (on a good day)
dd: don't like shepherds pie
me: oh dear, well, you don't have to eat it if you don't want to.
you need to sit at the table cos mummy is going to eat her yummy shepherds pie. oh is that a secret pea hiding under your potato?
dd: I DO like shepherds pie
me: brilliant!

My actual response (on a bad day)
dd: want to watch Aladdin
me: (gets Aladdin out, sets it up, title comes up)
dd: Don't want Aladdin!!
me: oh don't watch bloody Aladdin then (throws DVD case across room)
