In the public eyes, food shoplifting is quite common and can easily be seen at supermarkets here. Perhaps it is an eccentric behavior; it is an addiction; it is a job; it is a characteristic of barbarian; or perhaps it is a symptom of herpes simplex encephalitis.Last Saturday, when I was shopping at the Jesco of Bayan Lepas, I was surprising to see many shapeshifters although fetching with children were getting around a counter which was stuffed with offered grapes. They were accessibly swallow the grapes right there. As if they were enjoying a free eating at a free fruit-fair!
At first, I loathed these freebooters but as I saw them made no scruple to perform the shoplifting and without concerning that it was a scurvy trick, I had condoned them. Assuming that they were just a group of people who were simply the first timer to town and who were the misfortune people of this scrubby society. On the other hand, the supermarket authority was not taking any action for such food shoplifting act. Do you hate this kind of food shoplifters?
Too many people regard this as a minor issue. Perhaps many have done it themselves at some point in their life. I think it's worth to spell out the conclusion "Food shoplifting by parents in the presence of children is a shameful act and is frequently a 'gateway' to more serious future offences by children."

i agree whole-heartedly with your conclusion.
sometimes parents feel that aiya never mind lah minor things only to food shoplift... but this will grow on the children, and later on they will resort to other 'bigger' wrong things.
i remember shopping with friends, sometimes some of them would take some of the food to eat and encourage me to eat, saying never mind one lah, so much, they won't know it is missing but i give a firm no as i said it is wrong to do so.
You have shown a good example with high dignity to people, splendid!
