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?

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!

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.

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.

I was about 8. :nono:

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.

:joker:

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.

Aww, so cute.
:flutter:

I don't know if this is sarcastic or not if it this then Im just contributing to the discussion :spin:

I wasn't being sarcastic.
Which is why I added the smiley. I can understand how one would think that, though.

900th POST! :cheer:

Thanks Im sorry if my post came across a little rude I just couldn't tell.

Well done on 900 posts :elephant:

Oh no, it's fine. It didn't come across that way at all.

Thank you.

:clap2:

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

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

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.

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.

your dragons will eat you.

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

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.
