Kate definately not, because she is only sampling and it would be nice if big stores allowed a bit of that.
The shop owner for the sweets carry on, it wouldn't be seen as an offence Novo, it goes under the name of business and companies can get away with ripping customers off left,right and centre all the time in that name.

I would like to see a law whereby any goods fully credited to any company, cannot be then sold for profit to the public,I would also have a rule in business that stock bought at one price that then goes up as to a new rrp, can only be increased after the existing stock has been sold at the old price.

I don't know Joey..just looking at the number of empty shops in any town..I don't think many shopkeepers are making nearly as much profit as they used to. I saw a documentary once which justified the cost of some products because of stealing. If this happens..the product prices increase..then really you could argue they're stealing from the public

I see that point Ammi definately but I don't see where a couple of grapes here or there or a sweet or 2 from pick'n'mix would cause that.
Naturally someone picking up bottles of alcohol or boxes of this or that then walking off and not paying would have an effect on Stores and shops profits.

However when you look at,for example,the 3 for £2 offers or buy one get one free, it shows the profits Stores are making on the items to sell them at that offer price.

The real problem for businesses that are closing in the main, are the higher rents and rates local authorities charge them for being there, local authorities would rather have empty buildings left to decay than slash the rent and rates to help keep them occupied and going.
