Now, wait a minute! What you're saying is unfair! You live in Australia. You have different rules or laws there. You kept saying the word, theft over and over again! Hey! You need to study and learn more about other place's culture before jumping to uncalled for assumptions.If you don't know anything about other people's culture and behaviour, you better just keep your comments to yourself!!!

Congrats! Never been or heard of someone hauled off to jail for drinking or even eating something before heading to the cash register. He was just making a point of the cultural diffs between the USA and the Philippines. Lighten up honey(Vanessa) your passing judgement on something you wouldn't do.

Yes i agree

Rather than hijack the thread I will PM you examples of where people HAVE been arrested for this behaviour.

If you do make sure that they were not trying to conceal the item or leave the store without paying for it.

LMAO!!

Things are going extremely well here for myself, my fiancee and my soon-to-be stepson.

They're all settled in and having a grand time. No complaints of homesickness from either of them.

It's been fun and educational for all of us too. They both just about freaked out when, on their 1st day here, we went to Wal Mart and I picked up a soft drink, opened it and gulped a bit to quench my thirst. Something completely unheard of in the Philippines I guess.

We've decided NOT to have the garden wedding that we'd been planning. Instead, we're just going to "elope" down to the county courthouse and get married there. Turns out the logistics of getting my friends/family here from several areas around the country was an issue for the working folks. And getting started sooner on the AOS process will be a boon for us as well.

Anyway, for all who are waiting with bated breath and bitten nails... it's all worth it in the end!

And keep an eye out for those really short notice, low price airfares! We got really lucky in that regard. A low price popped up and 7 hours later my fiancee was in the airport waiting to board!

Lol tell her I was born and raised here and freak out when people open food in the store and start consuming without paying

Congrats, I'm happy for you guys, btw, what is the magic website you found for a good fare? I'm browsing for a good deal pretty soon.

Thanks! I was watching a bunch of different travel sites, but pulled the trigger on Expedia.com. The prices fluctuate wildly and I caught it at a low, just a few hours after seeing prices at a high.

Yep timing is everything with airline prices

[BrockUK 26]

They do, ASDA.

And its not your until you pay for it, US or UK or anywhere else.

WalMart > Asda

Sure owned by the same company, but seriously there is just no comparison!

Everytime I go to Walmart I feel like a little kid in a sweet shop. There is just so much to do, look, see, smell, touch! lol!
