Question
I went with my one-and-a-half-year-old son to a store selling food for Shabbat. The child was sitting in the cart and broke a bottle of wine that was on the shelf. Do I have to pay the high price the store demands, or can I say that elsewhere the price is lower, and I will pay what it's worth, not what you could have sold it for?
Answer
Hello,
According to the law, you are exempt from payment, but to fulfill your duty before Heaven, you should pay, and it is customary for the father to pay.
Payment is made according to the price set in this store.
