Reply To: Eating in the store before checking out

The Jewish owner of the supermarket where I live has made it known numerous times that he certainly allows people to open snacks for their kids before it’s paid for. Someone once mentioned to me that he also allows them to eat a loose rugelah. Though I never heard that directly from him and I’m not sure how I would pay for it without weighing it so I don’t let my kids have any prior to checkout.
