Let's just throw the book at them and lock them up! HOLY S#IT! When did we start condemning children for being children? How well does/did your 4 yr old listen to you, or believe deep in their heart at 4 that that was a problem? S#IT Happens! At 4 they have a whole lifetime to learn, a few misappropreated munchies along the way and we want to lock up the parents and put the child in foster care or what? Get over the missing munchies and focus on the A$$HOLE who thought he was GOD! when do you start TEACHING them? I wouldnt lock up parents over munchies and I wouldnt put them in foster care but stealing is stealing and I would TEACH her about the real life consequence of being a thief,,, we start when we feel they can understand in our family my four year old knows not to steal, she has had to have the 'threat' explained to her in side of a store when she tried to steal and mom promised to let her go to jail the next time it happens because thats what happens when people steal,,, and she has yet to do it again,,, There is stealing and there is grazing and sampling. Technically in most grocery stores you can sample any consumable product(except for Liquor and Medicine). Who's to say that wasn't a sample. Grocery stores expect to have this type of loss, it's part of the business. This is not an outright theft like someone coming in and concealing merchandise and going out the door, hell you couldn't really prove intent on the above incudent and if you cant prove intent you have no business making the stop let alone stopping a kid and a kid for something like that. I have NEVER heard of it being ok to SAMPLE fruit in a store,, how crazy I have also never heard of it being justified because stores 'expect' it, but people can raise their own children how they choose, we were always taught that in a public business, if you take something you havent paid for, its stealing I have worked in Grocery stores in a Loss Prevention and Loss Prevention Supervisor position for many years and every chain I have ever worked for has allowed sampling of all products and factor in a percentage for shrink. well, thats special, but I have still never seen a store which allowed this as 'acceptable',,,, Then you may wanna open your eyes next time your grocery shopping. oh please,,,I have seen them stop people from 'sampling' so obviously its not always 'acceptable' there are other experiences besides our own,, people forget this too often in these threads They must have ate the WHOLE package which is different then sampling. its not a buffet, if you want it you BUY it, sampling merchandise out for SALE is stealing they have samples set out of those things they arent trying to sell,,,,or, you can ASK just putting your hands all inside of packages that other people have to come behind you and purchase is not just unsanitary and tacky, but it is indeed stealing,, even if some places wish to overlook it for the sake of consumer relations,,, Once the product is open it cant be sold it either the rest has to be put out for samples or tossed out. Wait....Lpdon, are you saying that I can go into a grocery store, grab a box of cheerios, open it, eat a few cheerios, walk up to the front desk people, hand them the box and say "Just wanted to let you know I sampled these." and walk away and they'll just shrug and think "ok, cool. More of that sampling that we expect" ? I understand you can ask employees in the produce section to sample some foods to you, but I have never heard of sealed-packaged sampling being viewed as anything other than theft. If you ask an employee first they will be happy to open a sealed package and let you try it as long as it has nothing to do with liquor or medicine. most of the time with FOOD, gloves are required, because of sanitary issues so IM sure bare hands of random consumers is not smiled upon,,,, an employee can put on GLOVES and provide a sample in the proper manner |

This thread is about the abuse of a child at the hands of a psychotic security guard! This just proves my point! To hell with a terrorized child, let's avoid THAT issue over the rights and wrongs of shoppers! 
Honestly the child wont remember it after a while and it's inexcusable. If it would have been one of my guys that did it, depending on the situation at the very least I would pull the reigns in and put him back in training mode but probably would have been fired. I make sure when I train people that they are using common sense before they are "Released" to make stops. |

I know first hand that Albertson's, Save Mart, Safeway and Whole Foods let you. |

Sounds like the guy did his job! No he really didn't. He is there to catch the big stuff, the ORC, liquor, GM. They are not supposed to focus on the nickle and dime stuff. In fact they arn't supposed to stop anything they know or suspect is under $5.00 I believe. |
