Never said the man should be beaten.

Never said I condone beating the guy.

Completely different than going to a grocery store. Not even comparable.

Just my opinion, you don’t have to like it

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That may be what the story is about, but my point was still made regarding food being eaten before being paid for.

I did not advocate for the beating of the man, I simply said eating something before it’s paid for is improper (IMO) and I could see why someone could think they didn’t pay.

Once proof was provided that should have been the end of it, so I agree with the outrage expressed in the article about the treatment of the man.

I have to play devil’s advocate: How, unless they’re watching you constantly on a monitor, would they know your kid ate the fruit while walking around? In theory couldn’t your kid eat the fruit and leave the peel on a shelf somewhere before going to checkout?

I’m mainly saying this because I frown every time I see something that wasn’t paid for being eaten in the store, and as a former retail worker I’ve found empty banana peels on shelves. I’m not saying that happened in this case but going “trust me bruh” that everyone eating fruit in the store is going to pay for it is asking for shrinkage.
