I did uh... pick up a bag of mini donuts and eat half of them while I was walking around a couple months ago. I tried to shove them in my mouth when no one was looking. Ha. I did pay for the bag! :-) looch on "Do you ever give your LO a piece of fruit at the market?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-give-your-lo-a-piece-of-fruit-at-the-market#post-178878 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 04:21:02 +0000 looch 178878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've given him rolls before, we always pay for it.

They usually weigh fruit so it's kinda hard to pay for it if it is already eaten.

Unless the nice people at the deli counter give me a sample slice of cheese, haha. I wouldn't let my LO eat most fruits from the produce section without washing it anyway. It's not the dirt that's an issue, it's the germs in the air and all of the strange hands that have potentially touched the fruit. littlebug on "Do you ever give your LO a piece of fruit at the market?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-give-your-lo-a-piece-of-fruit-at-the-market#post-178452 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 14:43:45 +0000 littlebug 178452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I probably wouldn't do fruit because of it needing to be weighed to be properly "billed," but I would definitely do other items with a barcode. We were always allowed to open a Huggie at the grocery store when we were little - Mom just paid for the empty bottle at the checkout!

I don't think badly of people who do...it's just something I've never done.

I gave LO a banana (so I didn't have to worry about cleaning it) and I just added the empty peal to the bunch for weight at checkout. mrbee on "Do you ever give your LO a piece of fruit at the market?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-give-your-lo-a-piece-of-fruit-at-the-market#post-178400 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 14:04:42 +0000 mrbee 178400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @chopsuey119: Here's some articles on it! <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/pregnant-mom-says-sandwich-arrest-horrifying-214407004.html" rel="nofollow">http://news.yahoo.com/pregnant-mom-says-sandwich-arrest-horrifying-214407004.html</a> <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/on-parenting/post/pregnant-mom-arrested-at-safeway-and-loses-custody-of-toddler-over-sandwiches/2011/11/01/gIQApyrtcM_blog.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/on-parenting/post/pregnant-mom-arrested-at-safeway-and-loses-custody-of-toddler-over-sandwiches/2011/11/01/gIQApyrtcM_blog.html</a> chopsuey on "Do you ever give your LO a piece of fruit at the market?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-give-your-lo-a-piece-of-fruit-at-the-market#post-178394 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 14:00:44 +0000 chopsuey 178394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mrbee: Really? HA. Dang. I was starving so I started eating the pack of Inari I got from the sushi area. :P @artbee: So the cashiers always see my LO gripping onto a piece of fruit but have never asked me to pay for it. :P Ha! my bad. :P mrbee on "Do you ever give your LO a piece of fruit at the market?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-give-your-lo-a-piece-of-fruit-at-the-market#post-178392 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 13:59:11 +0000 mrbee 178392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Charlie used to freak out when he saw the olive bar... thankfully he doesn't do that any more. I get really stressed about eating in the store, after Safeway arrested that woman for eating food and not paying for it. heffalump on "Do you ever give your LO a piece of fruit at the market?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-give-your-lo-a-piece-of-fruit-at-the-market#post-178391 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 13:58:54 +0000 heffalump 178391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Lol, I don't do that. I'm weird and don't like to eat things before they're paid for, which is weird because my family always does stuff like that. My dad will show up at the checkout with an empty bottle of soda to pay for. chopsuey on "Do you ever give your LO a piece of fruit at the market?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-give-your-lo-a-piece-of-fruit-at-the-market#post-178390 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 13:56:52 +0000 chopsuey 178390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO always asks for a piece of fruit when we're in the produce section of Whole Foods! And I always give her something :P usually an apple, nectarine or a pear. I just blow hot air on it and wipe it down with my shirt. (YIkes!) :D Haha. The fruit's always organic and I figure a little bit of dirt won't hurt. :P :) Don't judge me!
