I was probably 6 yrs old & with my mom in the store. They had the hard candy stands where you'd scoop it, put it in a bag, & weigh it. I just wanted one piece of cinnamon so I grabbed it & put it in my mouth.
My mom lost her mind. When we're at the checkout she calls for the manager & makes me explain to the manager what I did. When I got home she made me give her five cents out of my bank. Then she complained when I gave her five pennies & demanded a nickel.
In hindsight, I get what she was doing & it worked. I won't take from anyone. But she humiliated me in front of the manager & check out person.

This story is from my mom.
She said I had just asked why a ladies tummy was so big and she had explained pregnancy to me. I was in the shopping cart and a very obese lady walked by. I pointed and yelled "mom she must be pregnant with 4 babies"

A couple of stories from my brother (who is 20 years older than me).
Back in the early 60's, he was in high school, working at the local grocery store. At that store, after you checked out, they would put your groceries in a plastic bin and on a conveyor belt. The belt would take your bin outside to the front of the store, where you could pull your car up and the employee out front would then load your groceries into your trunk.
One day, my brother was working the pickup area and a young housewife, drunk in the middle of the day, pulled her car up for her groceries. She stopped well short of the pickup area, so my brother walked over to her car, leaned down to the open passenger window and asked "Ma'am, would you mind pulling it up a bit."
The woman gave a sly smile, then hike her skirt up to reveal that she was going commando.
Another time, in the 70s, my brother's wife was dwn in the Rio Grande Valley and had to stop at the grocery store for some Tampax. At the checkout register, there was no price sticker on the Tampax, so the clerk, who spoke in heavily accented English, got on the PA and blared across the store "I need a price check on Tampax".
Apparently, the price checker thought she asked for a price check on "tacks" so he got back on the PA and asked "Is that the kind you push in with your thumb or use a hammer?"

Ex wife, then wife, left me at grocery store with a grocery cart full of groceries. Had to get a taxi home. She left the next week.

Went through the self checkout at Krogers. Didn't double bag my wine properly. Before I got to the first set of automatic doors to leave the 1.5ml bottle of wine broke through my bag and shattered on the floor.

Dropped a glass jar of Mayo right next to an elderly lady on the moped deal. Mayo all over her feet, all over the moped, and all over the floor and bottom shelf. Kid then walked through it and left Mayo footprints all the way down the aisle. I was too embarrassed to stick around, so I told a worker, apologized to everyone, and left the building.

Long time ago. Airline grocery in Metairie. My mom spanked me in the produce aisle in front of everyone.

My little cousin was in Rouses with his mom and dad, he was about 3 or 4 at the time. A black couple with a baby in a car seat walks up behind them in line. My little cousin looks at the baby and says me and my momma daddy want a new baby. The black lady says oh really? My little cousin says yes, but we want a white one.

A friend of mine did this on purpose in high school and the store sent a cop to his house to scare him. His dad beat his arse

I pocketed one of those rolls of Lion's fundraiser mints as a kid in the checkout line at the drug store. Mom did the same thing when she caught me. Made me apologize and pay for them, then beat my arse with a wooden spoon when we got home.

When my son was almost four, my wife took him into Buc-ees to get lunch and pee. She was holding him by the hand on the way to the bathroom when he decided to hi-YAH! a stranger passing by in the nuts. My wife could have died. She profusely apologized. The dude was good about it. He had kids with him so it probably wasn’t the first time. I got chewed out for missing the whole fiasco because I was pumping gas. She says I’m never around when he does embarrassing things like that.

Behind me I can hear her snickering and then busting out in a belly laugh and I realized I'd been had. She farted and called me over to frick with me. She got me good that day.
Is this the only time that she’s farted around you? Sounds like she’s a keeper

Every single second of me working as a stocker at a grocery store when I was in high school and thinking I looked like a badass wearing the stupid uniform shirt and carrying a box cutter.

Caught stealing a carton of cigarettes when I was 15.
They called the cops and made a big deal out of it.
Marched me out the front door in handcuffs. Ride to the station. Got a stern warning and went home

I'll be honest, when I first read this title I was thinking "there is nothing in a grocery store that I would do that would embarrass me". If something is an accident, that's not really embarrassing, but yeah... Your story proved me wrong. I think this would be embarrassing..
