Dear Fonseca
I almost got into a fight the other day at the grocery store. I was starved so I ate a banana and two apples while shopping. A woman came up and called me a disgusting pig and a shoplifter. She said it's gross when people eat food before paying for it. An assistant store manager came up and got between us. She said I needed to pay, which I did. I don't think there's anything wrong with eating while shopping. People eat samples right? I don't consider it shoplifting if you pay before leaving. No one else seemed to agree at the grocery store. What do you think about people, who eat while grocery shopping. Is it a crime?
