SUPERMARKET TREATED LIKE A BUFFET IS NO FREE LUNCH

DEAR ABBY: I work for supermarkets as a merchandiser, and a
day doesn't go by when I don't see customers eat food they
have not yet purchased while they shop.

I was taught as a child that items in a supermarket are not
yours to consume until they are first paid for at the regi-
ster. A supermarket is not a restaurant! You pay for the
food before you eat it.

I am sure many people "forget" they handed their child a
muffin from the bakery display to keep him or her occupied
while they shop. And how can a store weigh the grapes you
ate while browsing in the aisles? This is stealing, and
parents send the wrong message to their children by letting
them graze on the products the store is selling.

By the way, employees are not allowed to say anything to
customers when they see it happen. This practice not only
keeps prices higher, but also is unhygienic. Shopping carts
are filthy; they are rarely cleaned. Pushing a cart and
eating a cookie is a perfect way to pick up a serious food-
borne illness.

Abby, what are your thoughts on the subject?
-- SUPERMARKET MERCHANDISER IN NEW YORK

DEAR S.M.: They're the same as yours. Children learn more
from the examples set by the adults in their lives than
from what they are told. When they see their parents bend
the rules, they grow up thinking it's normal. And by the
way, this applies not only to what we do, but also to our
sins of omission.

DEAR ABBY: This year was awful. One of my friends shot him-
self. A few weeks ago a classmate hit a young man, and the
guy died. Now I have just learned that yesterday another
classmate was killed in a car crash.

All I want to do is hide in my room. I'm scared of what is
happening. Who are we going to lose next? Please tell me how
to handle this.
-- SCARED IN PENNSYLVANIA

DEAR SCARED: When deaths happen with no warning, it is
shocking and scary, and you have had more than your share.
When tragedies such as you have described happen during the
school year, many schools invite grief counselors to come
and talk with the students, which can be helpful. If that
hasn't happened where you live, it would be a good idea for
you and some of your friends to discuss your feelings with a
clergyperson or another trusted adult who can guide you
through the normal emotions people experience during the
grieving process.


DEAR ABBY: Please settle a disagreement for us. Is a butter
knife used to put your butter on your plate, or to spread
the butter on your bread?
-- ETIQUETTE-CHALLENGED IN SHILOH, ILL.

DEAR CHALLENGED: If a small fork isn't provided to transfer
the butter to your bread plate, use the butter knife to do
it. If the butter is served in a dish, then use your butter
knife to scoop out a portion and place it on the edge of the
plate.

And by the way, when you take a slice of bread, do NOT
butter it all at once. Break off a bite-sized piece, apply
the butter, then pop it in your mouth.

P.S. The butter dilemma can be avoided by substituting olive
oil instead, which is healthier. When I'm in a restaurant, I
often ask for olive oil, to which I add a dash of balsamic
vinegar -- making sure the design on my butter plate looks
like modern art. Not only is it good for my heart, it's cre-
ative and fun.

P.P.S. My editor suggests adding a dash of Parmesan.
Delicious!
