Just wait for the thunder. The rain comes next. Rinse it off. I have never done this myself I saw someone else do it. I ask the produce manager if he'd take a couple of grapes in back and rinse them off for me.

Doesn't anyone else have their slave peel their grape before eating it?

of course! I travel w/ a caravan of slaves. one continuously fans me w/ a palm tree leaf while the other peels the grape and feeds me and the rest carry me through the store. the slave w/ the fan managed to knock over a peach display w/ the fan so I had her beheaded, but otherwise, it's quite pleasant

LOL, I'd never do that, he probably spits on it. Not a good idea to give a busy person one more task they don't need to do.

I have wasted numerous dollars by not tasting the grapes. I could have returned the produce and this time I am. Same type grape, came from the same producer and could not tell by looking at them if there was a difference. Last time sweet, this time sour, I hate sour grapes and I will taste from now on.

I don't test them, not because of stealing but because they have not been washed.

I do notice that most stores are bagging the grapes now.

I saw a lady eating three grapes. Why did she need three? Maybe she's a gambler. Best two out of three.

I don't sample the grapes before buying. Maybe I should start.
