I'm paranoid someone will accuse of us stealing with our OWN snacks and will sit right there at the entrance and let her eat it if she's eating it before she comes in, I can't imagine my level of paranoia with something from the store. LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-eat-something-before-you-pay-for-it#post-1267241 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 20:19:01 +0000 Beyond2 1267241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was never allowed to do this as a kid and I don't think I'll ever allow DS to do it either. I just don't feel right about it because the food isn't mine to eat yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-eat-something-before-you-pay-for-it#post-1267196 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 19:43:52 +0000 septca 1267196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @blackbird: and @Aimed: I do it all the time. For myself and DD. Of course I'm going to pay for it, so I don't know why it would be a big deal. Today, I was planning to feed DD right after we finished at the grocery store, before we headed to Target. The line was epic, so I just pulled a pouch out of the cart and let her eat it in line. Saved me some time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-eat-something-before-you-pay-for-it#post-1267192 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 19:41:19 +0000 chopsuey 1267192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-eat-something-before-you-pay-for-it#post-1267191 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 19:40:30 +0000 Aimed 1267191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do it myself too! Especially on a hot day or something, I'll take a drink and open it before paying. My husband found it weird but it's like what am I going to do - run out of target without paying for a soda or cookies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-eat-something-before-you-pay-for-it#post-1267039 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 16:56:58 +0000 blackbird 1267039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, I do it myself.....I've bought a box of crackers halfway through my trip. It's not like I"m not gonna pay for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-eat-something-before-you-pay-for-it#post-1267036 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 16:54:41 +0000 sarac 1267036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just an apple from the fruit section. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-eat-something-before-you-pay-for-it#post-1267019 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 16:32:35 +0000 MrsStar 1267019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try not to since it was a pet peeve of mine when I worked in a grocery store! I just usually let lo hold something and that usually keeps her entertained for a wee while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-eat-something-before-you-pay-for-it#post-1267012 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 16:15:07 +0000 Running Elley 1267012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't yet but I seriously considered it through a nightmare target trip yesterday.

Usually goldfish at Target... the samples at Costco usually keep her busy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-eat-something-before-you-pay-for-it#post-1266981 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 15:38:35 +0000 PawPrints 1266981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh that's funny - I have a childhood memory of my parents freaking out when I ate an ice cream bar before we'd gotten up to the register to pay for it. In retrospect I guess it's not a big deal, you still have the UPC code they scan so you pay for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-eat-something-before-you-pay-for-it#post-1266978 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 15:38:10 +0000 cyndistar3 1266978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she is inconsolable I will! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-eat-something-before-you-pay-for-it#post-1266960 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 15:21:27 +0000 Bao 1266960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes when I'm just trying to make it through the shopping trip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-eat-something-before-you-pay-for-it#post-1266957 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 15:14:09 +0000 betsyboop 1266957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes if she's fussy. Last week we were at Target and I opened a box of granola bars and gave one to her while I shopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-lo-eat-something-before-you-pay-for-it#post-1266953 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 15:10:25 +0000 autumnlove 1266953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like doing it but I get desperate. I gave LO half of a Hawaiian roll at Costco while I finished shopping and it kept her occupied and happy! </p>
