I think that automatically leaving a situation when a kid misbehaves can lead them to think that THEY make the decisions about where mom and dad go.
Like, a 5-year-old is more than capable of realizing that "if i don't want to be in the grocery store right now, all I have to do is act up, and then we get to leave."

Yep and I know kids (including some teens) who act like fools when they don't want to be someplace. That's the best time to find a way to discipline them so they learn that they aren't in charge.
