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

Done this often enough that in our house going to Sam's is known as going out to lunch.

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.)

is it rudeness? or a sense of entitlement?

This far north, the fruit often looks good but tastes sour. So yes, I'll eat a grape before I'll pay $3/lb for ones that taste like vinegar and I end up throwing away.

Mostly I like to buy produce at a local farm stand market where they cut up fruit samples and put them in clear covered containers with a toothpick dispenser next to it. They encourage you to try samples before you buy.

I will NOT even try the samples at places like Publix, Sam's, Wally World...whereever. eek

And again, a large part of it is where my own hands have been inside the store!

Don't they have wipes and hand sanitizer in any of your grocery stores? Here they have them by the carts so you can wipe the handle and kid's seat off before you even pull one out. And there's hand sanitizer by the meat sections, etc. Didn't think the Mid-West was a leader in healthy shopping but it sure sounds like it.

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. eek

Safe link. cnn. Educate yourselves on hand sanitizers...they are not all created equally and are probably giving you a false sense of security anyway.

If you all would just do as Deek, you will all be fine. Eat a grape, swallow a shot of tanq, eat a grape, swallow a shot of tanq... This way the alcohol will kill the germs! Voila or Viola, whichever you prefer, problem solved. grin
