A middle class family of four entered the store. The first item they selected was a large bag of grapes which they deposited in the rack at the back of the cart. All four of them immediately dove in and snacked on the grapes as they strolled through the store. I’m not sure how much was left by the time they got to the checkout to weigh them or what else they consumed in transit.
Was this a: a harmless lark shared on a family outing? or, b: simple theft and a bad lesson in entitlement for the kids? —Captain Fantastic

If they were honest and paid for them, not a big deal, if they ddin’t that’s theft. My question CF was why were you following them around?
What do you think happened smileandwave, they all got on the scale at the checkout and told the clerk to subtract their pre-snack weight to figure out how much they owe for the eaten grapes? Go run your head into a brick wall. I bet if the store owner was you and they did that in your store you’d be pissed that they had a free snack of grapes and would probably ban them from your store. I say the answer is B. And it is theft.
This never would have gone down at a Walmart!
Hell if I know Gagagoo, did they eat 5 grapes or the whole bag, I guess I made a mistake that there is still honest people, which was the point I was trying to make.
Pretty sure this didn’t happen; at least as described. Probably someone looking to post a bitch and found something they thought might be bitch-worthy…
Where’s MM today?
Definitely the latter.
NONIDEALSM IN EDUCATIONAL THEORY AND PRACTICE
I was working on my paper for Educational Theory. I think it will be a hit because I have brilliantly outed the pragmatists and empiricists – they are conceptually related – on the issue of nonidealism in philosophy or education. I am arguing that nonidealism is a non-issue because – what else? – it is incoherent.
As far as the bitch goes, it was a harmless lark shared on a family outing.
Cheerio!
Well the way I see it, loss prevention is already factored into the price of the products available at the grocery store, so if I eat a few grapes on my walk through the grocery store, I’m sure they’ll survive just fine. Seeing an Smobeys just bought Smafeway for 5.8 billion, I’d say they couldn’t give a flying fuck about a few handfuls of grapes.
PPPfffffftt…Fuckin grapes? What a wanker!!!
Get a life for fuck’s sakes.
Holy hell are grapes fucking expensive…
bought a small bag the other day and it came to damn near 8 bucks.
(grapes with grated cheddar over top is devine and now a rare delicacy at those prices)
