Not defending the market, but a pet peeve of mine is people eating in grocery stores. Not food courts, but in the aisles.
People that eat things that get weighed (like grapes) are simply stealing.
I haven't read the article yet, but I'm with you on this. I have never eaten anything (or given food to whining children) in a grocery store until I've paid for it. How do I know that my credit card won't go through when I get to the register? There have been times when my credit card doesn't work because there was some suspicious activity and the bank cut it off. And eating things that have to be weighed? Unbelievable!

I fully agree with you and have been VERY vocal about it. I will say to my kids, “People who eat fruit they haven’t paid for are STEALING!!”
I’ve seen a couple seniors walk away redfaced, a few moms pull their kids away.
“People that eat things that get weighed (like grapes) are simply stealing.”
I never buy grapes without sampling one. Too many times I’ve gotten home and found them sour and uneatable.
I agree with you. I see food containers, the contents having been eaten, placed on a shelf somewhere and never paid for. Theft is theft. It’s the same with newspapers. People insert the price of a paper, open the door and take several papers. Where were their parents when they were growing up or is it that their parents taught them these behaviors?
I have seen that and it makes me want to throw up
It's a matter of perspective then...If a store sells me a bag of good looking, sour grapes, they are stealing from me...If the grapes were consistently sweet, I wouldn't have a need to sample them before I buy them...

I call that grazing, what animals do.
