at no point in your post did you say anything about the food not being paid for (at least that i can remember--i can't find your OP for some reason)

you talked about people wanting "instant gratification," again, how does this interfere with your use of the store?

this is like the people who complain about people wearing shorts/t-shirts/ "inappropriate" clothing in the lounges or on the plane...i just don't understand how a guy wearing a burlap sack somehow interferes with your use of the lounge. similarly, because you don't think mom's being a good parent, that's your opinion, but it doesn't have anything to do with your grocery buying
