"What I have noticed a lot of in grocery stores is "grazing".

Hubby does this, I hate to admit. He feels he is entitled to one free grape. Do you think NOW will support him, as they supported Clinton? He's only off by one vowel!

He doesn't overdo, and I always tell him he is wrong, but he's a very enthusiatic shopper (at this time of year, ack! especially), so I think the retailers get the best of it in the end.

According to the Libertarian philosophy, these poor customers are not committing any force or fraud,

BS, CJ, and you know it.  Theft is fraud.  A cite showing libertarians believe in taking from someone else would go a long towards making you look less like an ignorant troll.

You missed the point. The thieves walk away, and the retail business ends up jacking up the prices for everyone else rather than going after those who actually committed the thievery.
