Does it bother you to see people eat food in the grocery store.?!
Sometimes while in the grocery store I'll notice people picking at food in the produce section and eating it!. I've also seen people open up boxes of food, things like crackers, juice boxes, etc!., and give them to their kids!. Once I saw a woman take a small bag of chips off of the rack, open the bag and proceed to eat them!. She then shoved the bag in some random spot!. I personally think that if you haven't paid for it, you shouldn't be eating it!. What do you think!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've never seen that in my area, in my life!. The only "eating" that happens is usually with the bulk foods!. And of course, the free samples!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yea i agree that's totally disgusting!. They should like have security cameras in every aisle!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I never see it the way you mentioned!.!.!.just free samples!.!.!.that doesn't bother me!.

I always eat food in the grocery store, but I pay for it of course!. One of the first things I do when I get there is grab a bottled water and drink it while I shop, but like I said; I always pay for it at check out!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I have no problem with people eating food that is already weighed/priced and that they pay for when they leave!. I've been known on rare occasion to grab a beverage out of one of the convenience coolers in the Summer and drink it while shopping!.!.!.I pay for the empty bottle when I check out and request the cashier discard it for me!.
People stealing food is a whole different issue!. Eating something and discarding the packaging so you don't have to pay for it !.!.!.or using the produce section as a snack bar is no different than sticking the full package in your purse or coat and walking out with it, unpaid for!. It's theft, pure and simple!.
EDIT: Regarding eating something and being unable to pay when I got to the checkout!. It would be the same issue as if I'd eaten a meal in a restaurant only to find my method of payment wouldn't work when the check came!. I guess I'd call a friend to bring me some money, or leave my Credit Card/wallet with the store manager if they would allow me to run out and get enough cash from an ATM to cover my purchase!. Chances of this occuring aren't likely though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes, it bothers me!.
but only if they're like opening bags or something!. that's pretty much stealing!. however, if you're at the produce section and want to try, say, a grape, to check if you like/its fresh/sweet enough, and its only 1, i think its ok!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I do very occasionally open a bag of raisins or other dry fruit for my kids to eat and grab a bottle of water to take through the store if the timing of my store visit was unfortunate (e!.g!., kids hungry but I had no other option but to go to the store right then)!. I don't eat it!.
I always pay!. Not paying or putting back the package after opening is stealing!. I do not do it with anything that has to be weighed!. I also don't condone sampling produce unless it is in a clearly marked "sample" station!.
I would never be in a position to not be able to pay because I always have $20 on me for emergency!. I've never NOT had $20 on me one day in 25 years!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

In my more desperate times I have been guilty of doing that!. And when I was younger id pick a grape or eat a lil chocolate from the bulk bin!.
I don't see the harm in picking from the bulk items if its just once in a while!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
