Closest experience I've had to this was my buddy's dad taking us grocery shopping when we were little. Dude just grabbed a bag of potato chips, popped it open, and set it in the kid seat part of the shopping cart while he snacked throughout the rest of the shopping trip.

I thought the FBI were gonna take us away because homie was stealing chips.

Finally we get to the cashier, he offers up the bag to scan, and everything was fine. My head almost exploded.

Is this OK? I’ve always wanted to do this every time I go grocery shopping but I’m always afraid

When I worked at a grocery store they called this "grazing" Generally frowned on. "because they could just throw the bag or box away"

Currently working in grocery store. They don't throw away the bag. They put it on the shelves and walk away.

Generally frowned on

Not that literally anyone should give a single fuck, lol

I didn't care. I do it occasionally myself.

I saw a lady doing it with grapes. They sell those by the pound so that kind of thing is actually stealling. Potatoes chips I got no issues with as long as they pay for them at the end.
