Love it. I did that to my youngest when he was hmm, maybe 3 or 4, we were out to eat and he was acting up, sliding off his chair and crawling under the table, etc. So I took him outside and gave him a talking to, and when we came back inside I made him apologize to the others eating there for his behavior. No problem from then on out.
And somewhere around the same time, I had him along to the grocery store. In the checkout lien he wanted some gum, I said no. About three times, each one more firmly, and he finally gave up. Or so I thought. I put him in his car seat, and loaded the groceries in, and when I got in the car I saw he had something in his hand - a pack of gum. Well, I think he thought he was about to be put up before a firing squad as I marched him back into the store and to the very checkout line we used and made him hand the gum back and apologize for taking it. But, he never grabbed anything like that every again.
