I couldn't really bring myself to spank in public, because I was abused, in my estimation, via excess of corporal punishment, and all I could think about was the humiliation aspect to doing that.
I don't really have any dire judgements for parents who do that, though, unless it's pretty clear that it's part of a general "Ignore the brat, ignore the brat, ignore the brat...EXPLODE!" strategy. I've seen how well that one works, with my sister and her friends.
