Reading this thread has made me LOL so many times my co-workers must think I am having a break down in my office.
I recall going to the market with my great grandmother when I was a child and her telling us " YOu can try 1 grape & 1 loose candy ....but no more than that. Because more than 1 grape & 1 candy would be stealing". That being said she did come from a differant era but I remember as a kid thinking "OK 1 is not stealing? Really VoVoa I don't get that logic" but I still ate the grape & the candy

You can get a whole lunch for free at Sam's Club from the folks working the booths with free food.

I'm going to market myself as a Loss Prevention Specialist, with a special focus on grapes. I could easily save a large super market $5/day in shrinkage! (I was in the pool!) I can picture the business cards now: Matt B - Shrinkage Specialist "No one knows more about shrinkage than me" "Endorsed by George Costanza - Really, I just got out of the pool" Fixed

My husband is Produce Mgr at Costco. People don't just taste the grapes. He picks up all kinds of fruit and veggies with 1 bite out of it all over the warehouse. They take a bite to see if it tastes to their liking, then proceed to move the cases all over until they get to an unopened one. People feel that since they pay an annual membership they are entitled to do whatever they want. It's incredible how rude people can be.

Although, to be fair, in Costco, they are constantly encouraging you to eat stuff, so I can see how some people get confused. (Obviously neither Joker nor I would, of course. But SOME people might.)

I will NOT even try the samples at places like Publix, Sam's, Wally World...whereever. And again, a large part of it is where my own hands have been inside the store!

Yes, but sometimes you are in the store before you get to the wipes. Not to mention all the things you come into contact while you are in the store. AND, I don't want that nasty hand sanitizer anywhere near me! Some of those are more evil than the germs they profess to kill.
