If you eat an apple is that stealing?!


Question:

If you eat an apple is that stealing?

Me and my friend were in the market the other day. She tried an apple to see if they were any good. She wanted to buy a dozen, but she wanted to check them first to see if they are any good. I told her to put in a 13th apple when they weigh the dozen so she would be charged for the apple she ate. She was then supposed to take the one apple and go put it back. Okay, the problem is that she forgot and she left with 13 apples. Should she go back to the store and let them know? If they decide to press charges, how many years would she spend in jail?

Problem solved. oh a life sentence, get a grip it was an apple. It would have been honest for her to take the 13th apple back but as she hasnt its a bit late now. in order for them to prosecute they would have had to stop her as she was leaving the store. She would not recieve a custodial sentance over an apple anyway. It was stealing, but no one really cares about a single apple. No, she shouldn't go back. They will most likely prosecute her, resulting in, approximately, a 834892849 year jail sentence. It's hard to be accurate though when you don't specify the brand of apple. <3 I think thats only ok with grapes... 6 years chances are that she's gonna get the book thrown at her and she's gonna burn.....
just kidding.
i'm pretty sure that the grocery store won't even notice.. otherwise she would have been caught while leaving the store.
the question as far as if she should go back to the store and let them know... the answer is in her moral character. if she's bothered by what she did and it's keeping her awake at night, then yeah she should go back. if not... don't worry too much about it. life imprisonment for not being honest....she got 13 apples , a bad luck number which will put curse on her whenever she eats apple...ehehehhhheee if she goes back and explains everything, it shouldn't be a problem. if she doesn't think she can handle that, she could donate to a suitable charity.

just a suggestion. Yeah, she sounds like a theif to me. Pay for your food! I've tasted grapes to see if they are sweet or sour, but an apple is stealing. Sure it's stealing...taking/eating anything you haven't paid for is stealing. Most produce employees and managers will happily cut a piece of fruit open for you and will give you a generous sample...no stealing, no guilt. she's lucky we dont have the Death Penalty here you know!!! - lol!! It's done - forget it. Life sentence. OhMiGod! You really think that courts have the time to charge you for steraling an apple when there are murderers and rapists out there! Get a life! I've come to the conclusion that you ARE in fact a ridiculous little girl! What with all your studpid comments about vegetarians and now apples - get a GRIP! Yes she should take it back, and no they wont press charges. Even if they did it would be a small fine. first of all put your trust in the apple... don't complicate the buying process.


and no.. one apple no one is going to give a damn about. you'll be wasting their time and effort...
