I never do it, I'd feel like I was stealing lmao, although today I ate a packet of popcorn whilst shopping around Asda today because we'd had been there an hour and I was staving. I scanned it though, it was part of a 6 pack.

[Niamh.]

I rarely do it and it's usually a drink if I'm really really thirsty

[Firewire]

used to do it when i was younger but don't do it any more, would always pay for it though

[Jessica.]

Sorry the poll is a bit of a mess. :joker:

I forgot about drinks, I wouldn't condone that either tbh. :worry:

:nono: Just sharing my opinion, I think it's wrong because it just seems a bit greedy to me. Not saying everyone who does it is definitely greedy but it's really not that hard to wait until it's paid for.

[LukeB]

No i don't do it but i don't care if others do it, it's nothing to do with me

[Niamh.]

I only do it if I'm dehydrated so i don't get a headache :hmph:

[smudgie]

As long as the consumed goods are paid for once you reach the checkout, and the staff of the shop don't object then no problem.
Hubby often opens hot cross buns etc and has one on the way around the shop.
I have had to buy and drink something sugary now and then when I have been flagging.

[LukeB]

I ways always told you should eat before you go shopping because you spend more if you shop on a empty stomach if that makes sense

[Marsh.]

Yeah, I always find it funny when a woman stick a multipack of crisps on the till that are open and half eaten already.

I wouldn't do it myself. Knowing my luck I'd get caught and told off.

[Marsh.]

Yes, if you shop whilst hungry you're more likely to buy more crap too.

[Dollface]

I don't do it but i'd do it if i was really hungry/thirsty, i'd definitely pay for it once i was finished shopping so i don't see the problem with it

[andybigbro]

I don't do it, but I don't see the problem with it.

If you paying for it in the end, who really cares?

[Crimson Dynamo]

If you have kids its a must sometimes.

[Niamh.]

If you have kids its a must sometimes.

Indeed :laugh:

[Dollface]

I once got told off for drinking a can of coke in a shop :bawling:

[LukeB]

yeah like i went tesco just .feeling hungry, I was planning on buying just eggs got load of chocolate as well

[Dollface]

If you have kids its a must sometimes.

my mum used to rip the end of a baguette off for me :flutter:

[Samuel.]

All I can imagine is a horribly obese man with belly folding over the shopping trolley dropping crumbs everywhere.

Wouldn't do it personally. I don't know why exactly but something about it bothers me.

[Jessica.]

Yeah, I remember reading somewhere before that if you have a glass of milk and a banana before you go shopping that you won't buy rubbish because the banana is sweet and you get filled up. :joker:

[LukeB]

Actually I did it when I was younger, I had some jelly babies from the shelves mum said it;s okay as long she scans them but I was finished with them and it had like 5 babies left.. So I put them in someone's trolley

[Marsh.]

If you have kids its a must sometimes.

Indeed :laugh:

Feed your kids before you go shopping. :fist:

[Niamh.]

spoken like a person that doesn't have kids :hehe:

I remember I used to want to nick sweets from the pick n mix bowls until my nan scared me and told me that if you put one in your mouth in the store, the alarm sounds. :joker: I was only 4.

[Shaun]

It strikes me as something that happens in the movies... I've never seen someone do it :laugh:

[Marsh.]

Or leave them at home. :fist:

[Niamh.]

Or leave them at home. :fist:

with the live in nanny is it? :laugh:

:joker: lmaoo...

I always put random things in other people's trolley when I was 5/6 but my mum caught me doing it and i got told off:bawling:

[Marsh.]

Tie them up and put an apple in their mouth. :fist:

[Vicky.]

I don't, but a few times I have opened one of those fruit bag things for Skye and just let the cashier scan the empty bag when paying...they never seem to mind and I always pay for whatever shes had :shrug:

[Niamh.]

:laugh:

[Vicky.]

Feed your kids before you go shopping. :fist:

It doesn't work like that D: When they want to eat, they want to eat. Now if you would rather listen to screeching kids everytime you went shopping then thats fine...until that decision is unanimous though, I will continue to give Skye food in the shop :laugh:

(Usually I have something already there just incase mind that I have bought elsewhere, but if I don't, then I have no problem opening something I'm about to pay for)

[Vicky.]

God I wish it was that easy. Feed your child when you decide, not when they want it. Would save so much time and stress :laugh:

[Marsh.]

Thanks for reminding me never to have kids. :smug:

[Calderyon]

No. Why anyone would do that, i have no idea. (Well, unless they don´t have anything to pay for, of course)

[Calderyon]

With that being said, i have never seen anyone do it, ever.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i haven't done this since i almost got arrested for eating a sandwich and hiding the packaging

like they were genuinely going to call the police over a sandwich :umm2:

[Gstar]

My dad always does this

[Jason.]

Was it Butterkist Popcorn?

Thats different though, that actually is stealing :joker:

So true.

I used to do that. I remember putting Durex condoms and Mayonnaise in an old ladies trolley, when I was 7. :blush2:
Silly shoppers always leaving their trolleys around the place.

Thanks for accepting my F/R, BTW. :)

[Crimson Dynamo]

they never do when they get the clap

[Marsh.]

I remember putting a tape measure in my mum's basket in B&Q years ago and she had a fit when she'd scanned all the items and that was in there was like over £20 for a tape measure. :laugh:

[Jason.]

In WH Smith a few years ago, I ate some of the Pick N Mix, whilst looking at the magazine aisle, without paying for them. It was only a fried egg.
Does that count?

[Daniel-X]

Me and my sister did it once when we was younger in a supermarket. My mum bought some billy bear ham for us but we couldn't wait so we took the packet and said we was going picking some cereal and we ate the packet while in the cereal aisle my mum found out when paying made us go find the packet and put it on the till. She was very embarrassed to say the least and we got told off for doing it a LOT!

[AnnieK]

I've done it..with a drink and I've also given my son a packet of crisps out of a multipack. Between looking greedy and having a bored hungry child wailing all the way round, I know which I would choose.

[armand.kay]

No not in a super market that just seems weird (although a tactic of mine as a kid i would open things so my mum would have to by it for me:fan:). I do do it at canteens/caffe's tho, like when I have all my food on my tray and I'm waiting to pay, I would eat like a chip or something.

[Marsh.]

I was about 8. :nono:

this

[Amy Jade]

I think if it is weighable like a bag of grapes that's basically theft so make a show of the people and stop them at the till.

If it's part of a multipack I don't really see the harm so long as you pay and I always think it could be that the person is diabetic and need a quick fix or something.

i remember also for 'fun' as I thought when I was little I used to knock things of the shelf once I knocked over a box of eggs and ran off and then one woman who saw me told my mum and the Tesco staff and I burst out crying and was sent to bed at like four o'clock.

[Kizzy]

Yep, I've done it for the brats too.

[RichardG]

When I was young the shop assistants used to let me eat the billy bear ham before it was paid for in ASDA :amazed:

[Will.]

I drank a whole bottle of water in Harrods, and my mum refused to pay for it as she had already bought like 3 bottles so I quickly put it down on one the shelfs. Even worse now as my mum is now going through the stages of catering for Harrods with fish.

[lostalex]

isn't that what we all do at a restaurant?

stealing a jelly bean isn't really a big deal.

but what about the people that sit down to a nice meal and then send it back half eaten expecting to get it free.

i can't stand cheap people. if you can't afford food, eat your children. that's my opinion.

I specifically mentioned supermarkets in my original post, eating at a restaurant is entirely different.

I don't do it and when others do, I judge them like Judy.

[waterhog]

its disgraceful - and if you bring kids into it what are you teaching it ? you see it you have darling ?

what next - eat something and then put it on twitter

It's the only way to keep my niece quiet, we would always pay for it.

Or the child could be parented and taught to behave? :hehe:

[Mitchell]

How rude :hehe:

My niece is actually really well behaved, but when she's hungry, she's hungry as Vicky said, she's 3 now and we don't take her shopping as we go when she's at playschool, but she's used to eating a snack at that time from playschool and home so when we have to take her during the holidays she wants food, we just get a packet from the multipacks, we'd always pay for it...

Personally I would hate to do it myself, but if it was that or my niece screaming her way through an hour shop I know which I'd rather.
