Oh, so now taking something without permission or payment is stealing? When did they make THAT rule?

On more than one occasion I've seen parents of young children in the supermarket feeding their child from the store shelves as they shop. A piece of fruit, a piece of candy from the bulk candy bin -- I once even saw a woman take a snack out of a box for her child and then get a "fresh" box off the shelf to put in her cart. I guess shoplifting is okay, so long as it's to keep your kid quiet while you shop.
