Is It Ok to Eat Food in the Supermarket Before Paying?

An angry mom says a cashier scolded her for letting her child eat food in the supermarket before paying.

People are divided on the controversy, with some not understanding why you can’t just wait until you leave the store. They add that it could be considered stealing, as something could happen to your credit card and prevent you from paying. Others say it’s no big deal, and that employees should be kind to customers and let them eat while shopping if they want to. Etiquette experts agree saying it’s not proper manners, but when your kid is hungry, sometimes you just can’t help it.
