Dear woman two people ahead of me at Kroger's-

When someone informs you that your child (who looked to be about 12 years old) just shoplifted a bunch of candy bars, the appropriate response is NOT to shrug your shoulders and leave. It's unfortunate that the woman who informed you of the theft mistook you for a decent parent who would do the right thing. She apparently should have informed the cashier instead. Don't worry, she won't make that mistake again, I'm sure.

Sincerely Disgusted,
