Is Eating Groceries Before You Pay For Them a Crime?

By On Air With Ryan Seacrest

What is your stance on eating while grocery shopping? Meaning, you open up a bag of chips or something before you have paid for it, but you then scan it at the checkout and pay.

Have you done it? The scenario is dividing the internet! A woman named Samantha posted on TikTok that she was at the supermarket with her son who had been sick and not eating, but he seemed interested in the yogurt she bought so she gave it to him.

She then handed the empty yogurt container to the cashier to scan and was frowned upon. The employee told her “I don’t think it’s right that people let their kids eat stuff as they walk around the store.”

Samantha said “I don’t think it’s your job to give your opinion on what you think.”

Her video has over a million views and 10,000 comments...
