LOL, none.

My grandma was a notorious grape snitch.

Zero. I don't eat unwashed fruit, plus I would only eat food I paid for.

I wonder if it's a generation thing? My grandfather would have grabbed some too.

Maybe not so much generation but common practices that don't travel well to other environments. I grew up in the 'burbs where it's not common. But then I started shopping in farmer's markets where the stall owners were happy to let their customers taste their wares. I'd usually ask first, "May I taste?" but they were delighted by the interest.

I find myself doing it in a regular grocery store, but only when I have genuine interest in buying. A little girl saw me do that once in a Safeway and her mother scolded that it was stealing. To me it wasn't, because after tasting I bought the grapes. It's perfectly natural to sample something a vendor is claiming to be fit for sale.

I grow them, and they're much better than what the stores carry.

So that would be a no. Nor do I snitch candy from the bulk bins. It just isn't in my BIOS, I reckon.

Never in my life. I don't think I've ever "caught" anyone doing it either. How funny though about the little girl seeing you & getting scolded that it was stealing!

I love that they started putting a little money slot by the bulk candies. I can have a piece of candy instantly.

I have never snitched a grape. I have grabbed a single-serving cracker bag and opened it for my son, but then I save the bag and have them scan it while checking out.
