    I would say that the line would be drawn at things that would be impracticable to eat whilst shopping and that are likely to leave a mess.

    I can eat a sandwich whilst walking down the aisles with a trolley easilly but I wouldnt think of walking about munching on a cooked chicken due to the mess I would make.
    And that it would look ridiculous.

    I bet Asda employee's have to pay for items before they eat them. Can you imagine if your supervisor saw you take a packet of biscuits off the shelf and eat them BEFORE paying. I bet...."I was going to pay for them later boss" wouldn't cut any ice.

    If I was to purchase a sandwich at the self scan then ate it whilst doing the rest of my shopping would that be ok?

    Where did I say that I believe I am clever due to finding it easy to eat a sandwich?
