So did you walk out of the store and leave the groceries sitting at checkout? That's what I would have done.

I was sooo tempted to...but I was hungry! That proved stronger than my anger, but I'm seriously thinking of writing a letter to management about the whole deal. It's not like we were a gang of rowdy college kids!

What REALLY annoyed me was that my other brother (not the "trouble maker" who was under-age) tried to lecture me on why the store was right and I was wrong to be offended! Like it's any of the store's business what I do with their products after I leave! I could buy a spatula (pancake turner for those of you who think of a spatula as a rubber thing) and peg someone with it...do I need a license to buy one of THOSE there?

"Nanny" policies really tick me off.

I've done that before. I'd bought a huge basket of groceries and when I went to check out, the girl behind the counter wouldn't make eye contact with me. She purposefully looked over my head or up at the ceiling. I think it's called "attitude"? Anyway, I had left my wallet out in the car and said "Just a sec, I need to get my wallet." She still didn't look at me and on the way out to get my wallet I decided it wasn't worth it and I left.
