Re: QOTD - Tuesday 2/15
I think drinking is totally ok. I have gotten a drink at the grocery store before and started drinking it and paid for it when I checked out.
I've honestly never thought about eating in the store before Bananagate 2011. I get hypoglycemic sometimes, so I usually carry a snack in my purse. I will probably do the same when I have a kid. I don't agree with giving the kid a banana every single time he sees one in the store, but I also don't think it's necessarily stealing if she tells the cashier to ring up another one twice. Do I think it's strange? Yep. A crime? No.
When I was growing up, eating at the grocery store was relatively commonplace. As long as it was paid for at the end, I don't particularly see the problem. I've been in the store starving and developing a migraine or morning sickness from not eating and refrained, but I'm a grown person. If my child were in the same position and I had somehow ended up misarranging his eating schedule to end up in a place where we were surrounded by food when he was starving, I would probably open a package of granola bars or numnums or something and give him some. But obviously I would pay for it.
I have opened a box of graham crackers for DD in a store. It was either do that or have her scream the whole time we were there. It was wrong on my part to take her to the store when I knew she would be hungry (it was around lunchtime, I think). But I don't see anything wrong with it if you have every intention of paying for it ETA: and it doesn't make a mess. I do let the cashier know if the package has been opened.
I have also opened a bottle of water and started drinking it because I was dying of thirst, then let the cashier know I opened it and paid for it at the end of my shopping trip.
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?

I've had a drink before while i'm shopping and when i've had a migraine i've bought a roll or something from the bakery but it's always been something that was already priced.
I don't think i'd ever pull a random banana off the shelf that would be priced based on weight.
