is it wrong to eat food in the grocery store and not pay for it if you're still buying other stuff?

>> No.14595809

Yes.

>> No.14595816

>>14595805
Keep the trash of the product that you ate, so the cashier can scan the barcodes and dispose of your trash for you afterwards.
Never really gave a shit about it as long as customers weren't dickheads about being truthful, some *love* to try to get a free snack or drink sometimes but hey if they want to make a fuss about literal theft then that's for them to discuss with a manager.

If it has to be weighted, then don't fucking eat it. I can't believe you really have to be told this.
I had a mom do this once, she let her toddler munch on a peach or something. *I* had to be the one to take a slobbered on peach, *weigh it on my scanner/scale*, and hand it the fuck back. You are a total cunt if you do this shit.

so i should just eat the whole thing in the store is what you're saying?

>> No.14595895

>>14595875
RETARD. What is so hard to understand about my last post?
If you have to WEIGH the item in order to pay for it, THEN DON'T FUCKING EAT IT.

Plums are on sale for $2.99 PER POUND, don't fucking eat a plum around the store.

BUT, if the plums are on sale 3 for $2.99, then yes, it'd be okay, because in this context you'd be paying for the plums as a single item vs. bulk.

>> No.14595900

>>14595895
aren't most plums and stuff like the same weight? why can't i just tell you i ate a plum or like a handful of cherries and you can just ring it up as a few ounces?

>> No.14595918

>>14595900
Because I have to physically take the product, place it on my scanner, and WEIGH the product. Would you prefer to pay for the exact ounces of fruit you want to buy and eat, or would you prefer I plop down a random weight and force you to pay whatever tare it brings up? Because if you go for the latter, you'll end up being that dickhead customer getting upset at me and demanding that you not "pay so much for a measly one or two plums."

So. Once again. Don't eat product that has to be weighed, unless you want to be a huge dick.

If you don't pay for it, and it's someone elses, IT'S THEFT.

>> No.14595941

>>14595900
Also because I forgot to add, no, you're also wrong about how product is priced.
Doesn't matter whether I live here in Indiana, or if I lived back in my home state of Cali, you're not going to have weighted product be *all* the same or of similar price. Cherries will never be sold at similar prices to plums or peaches, and even then, most retail stores whether it's a grocery store or the mall are super anal to cashiers about how they scan and tare items.
Even if say, cherries were on sale and are the same price as plums, some places (Like Kroger or Walmart, big examples) don't give a shit whatsoever. They use the cashiering systems to count their stock and it's how they keep their shit organized. If I tare plums and cherries the same, it'll only be sold as either or, not as two individual sale items. As a cashier, that gets ME in trouble.
>>14595934
>"I just want to be selfish and get the people who help me in the store in trouble and possibly fired."
Cool, eat it then, and when you have employees calling you out and you have managers telling you that you're not allowed to shop at that store anymore, it'll be the store's fault right? Fuck you.

>> No.14595945

>>14595939
but if i overpay for other stuff then i'm kinda already paying for it. and it's not like an individual owns it and is using it.

>> No.14595948

>>14595941
you can't just type in the cherries code and then type in some ounces? that seems easier for everyone.

>> No.14595950

>>14595945
Which is literally why I have been telling you not to be a piece of shit and just not eat weighted food items.
You can open a bag of chips and it wouldn't fucking matter as long as you keep the trash (or half full bag) with you. I've drank a full soda, or water before while still shopping, and as long as that trash got scanned NOBODY GIVES A SHIT.
But please, continue to be a moron because you feel like the world needs to revolve around you a particular way.

You want to eat fruit that has to be weighed and paid for? Then make it the first thing you grab and do before you actually get all of your groceries if it's this big of a deal.
You can't just type in the weight of what a product is and then boom it's the weight of the item. Even if I wanted to do that, you'd probably need a manager's override.
BUT AGAIN. JUST FUCKING PAY FOR THIS SHIT UP FRONT. DON'T STEAL. IT'S STEALING IF YOU EAT WEIGHTED ITEMS BEFORE PAYING FOR THEM.

okay so i just have to ask for the manager at checkout and tell them how many cherries i ate?

This. It all boils down to social contract. Credit is something that has been co-opted by banks...It never used to be like that. Credit cards were rare until the late '60s. Credit USED to mean you were trustworthy enough to be considered "good for it." Nowadays, It seems like most people are scruple-less assholes who won't bat an eye if they get away with something. Just sit in a parking lot for 15 minutes outside a grocery store and see how many fucks just leave their carts even if there's a corral RIGHT NEXT TO THEM. You almost never saw that in the '80s, and people would chastise you for being a self centered asshole if you did.

>> No.14595992
