What Do You Think?

I was at the grocery store yesterday and I have to admit that it was BN (before nap), so I might have been a little "sensitive". But there was a young man that just irked me. Here's what happened....

I
had to go back to the store because the night before I went shopping
and was to buy curry powder for a meal that Stacey was making. Some how
I managed to by cumin instead of curry powder (it was a "cumin" error)
so I had to go to the store on my way home from the station.

Anyway,
I was walking past the snack aisle and noticed a young man in his mid
20's grab a bag of chips from the shelf, open it and start eating them.
They weren't paid for, yet he was eating them as he went through the
store filling up his cart. This just seemed wrong.

I'm sure that
he paid for them but it just rubbed me the wrong way to see someone do
this. Was I being to sensitive? Was it any of my business? Is this
indicative of how society has changed over the years? I don't remember
seeing this type of behavior ten years ago yet I do see it rather
frequently now.

What do you think?

It drives me crazy to see people eating in the stores. First its unsanitary. Yuck! Their fingers are in their mouth one minute then on the food I'm buying the next! Yuck! Yuck! Yuck!

Besides - until you pay for it, it's not yours!
