Nice! See, with my daughter I have to remind her anytime we go into a regular store to not eat the fruit. At our co-op she knows she can pick out a complimentary piece of fruit and eat it while we shop. Same with Whole Foods Market.  She usually picks the biggest apple, too! It's so nice for me though, she's happily nibbling and I can shop!  |

NICE! The grocery store we shop at gives away fruit leather (fruit-to-go, which is 100% fruit) to kids... not that I take my kids a lot now - they are older (teens for the most part) and don't want to be seen with their parents in public, so they prefer to stay home. But when they were little I loved the fact that this store gave away something healthy - so much better than the cookie etc...
Erin - how do you pay for that apple that your daughter eats? See one thing that bugs me is people letting their kids eat food that they are not paying for in the grocery store. I have no prob with drinks as the empty container can be put through the checkout, but if your Daughter eats an apple, you cannot weigh it and pay for it... it just ups the cost for the other shoppers...
I have no probs with food that is given away free though - either as samples or complimentary to kids because the store/manufacturers are absorbing the cost.

The apple was complimentary for children.
The organic grocery that I work at does the same thing - there's a big basket of apples and bananas (and sometimes pears) for the children to select one to eat while mom or dad shops.

Our WF has fruit in the "wagon" but my kids never pick that. If there are lollipops, those are the first choice. Followed by raisins. There are cereal bars in the wagon as well, but I have successfully convinced them not to eat those anymore.  |

In a normal grocery store I don't let her eat an apple or whatever she chooses. At our co-op kids can pick out a free item, if they don't the cashier omits an item from the total during checkout. At whole foods she picks from the wagon before we start shopping. We don't steal lol! |
