I see two things going on here. And my years as a teacher show that they are on the increase...sigh. One is "three year old morality" which translates into "it's not wrong unless you are caught" hence the laughter. Two is instant gratification which this system of things promotes on an increasingly regular basis. I'm sure there was a number to call in case of problems but hey!I paid for those Doritos and I want them NOW. Reminds me of the study with the M&Ms. A little kid was sat down at a table with a handful of M&Ms in front of them. They were told that if they could wait for a few minutes they would get a whole package of M&Ms instead of the few on the table. The researcher left the room, returning a few minutes later. Result? They ran the test with increasingly older kids and it wasn't until, I believe, the age of 12 that the kid could wait to get the bigger portion. Guess that kid at the vending machine is 8. or 6. or probably 3. Jenny from CO
