My EX was a nibbler when food shopping. It drove me nuts! You're going to be in the store for maybe 30 to 45 minutes. You can live off the fat of the land for that period of time! Going to Costco was a nightmare. He would stalk any and all food samplers, multiple times.

Back at my old place there was a supermarket right across the street I would go to almost daily. They have a pick-your-own candy bin priced per the pound and it also has a locked coin box with "SAMPLES 5 CENTS" printed on it.
I would usually drop a quarter in it and grab five pieces to eat while I shopped. Sometimes if I had no change I would drop in a dollar, take five pieces and they take five more the next three times I came in.
I always wondered if some employee or busybody fellow customer would accuse me of stealing; especially on the days when I was using up the rest of my dollar!You'll find a slight squeeze on the hooter an excellent safety precaution, Miss Scrumptious.

Our bags of cherries/grapes aren't actually sealed, just heavy ziplock-type closures. That doesn't stop people from ripping open the bag and grabbing X amount (which they then put in a clear plastic bag--yes I can see it's 'grapes', but we have about 4 different codes and I need the right one). I know we have grazers too, and call them out when I see them. Not that it does any good; while produce grazing is against the law, someone with power in the store needs to both see them doing it and realize that he needs to do something about it (possible liability issue for the store if someone else gets sick from something a grazer had on their hands). I know the managers know about these people, but good luck getting them to do anything about it (I'm sure they're seen as 'customers' somehow O_o )Last edited by Dreamstalker; 07-27-2013, 01:22 PM."I am quite confident that I do exist."

As someone who is part of the "twenty something entitlement" club (or whatever stupid ass name they have for people my age), my mother would have kicked my ass if I did something like that. Needless to say, when I see kids doing it, I tell their parents (not the kids, because then I get in trouble for "disciplining" someone's kid), and they give me the same line I've heard for years "Well, we're GONNA pay for it!" Right. I don't know you from a goddamn hole in the ground. I take it as personally as someone would if a random guest at their house started rummaging through the fridge.
It's offensive, gross, and unacceptable.

Quoth mikoyan29 View PostAm I abnormal? I would never think of eating produce in the store. oR for that matter the candy bar before checking out or whatever...sheesh.
Oh...wait, we don't have that anymore because there's simply too many candidates and runner-ups for the award.

On a truly toasty day, I've been known to open an orange soda or Gatorade before I've checked out, and drink it while I'm shopping, but always make a point of letting them know, hey, I drank this, please charge me for it.
Now, have I nibbled a bit here and there from the salad bar?
Guilty as charged. I love tomatoes!

Quoth JustShootMe View PostThe funniest thing I ever found was the underwire from someone's bra.
Umm.......
I mean it was probably done by someone who didn't like underwires because they were uncomfortable....
