There's a story on Drudge about a guy who was arrested for petty theft after being video taped "sampling" raspberry flavored jelly beans. (gum drops sounded more mellifluous than jelly beans for titling purposes...)
The arrestee said that he'd been shopping at Albertson's for 30 years and was just seeing if he liked the jelly beans.
I've watched mothers pluck grapes off a bunch and hand them to their kids. I've watched a bummish looking open a carton of orange juice, drink down a healthy gulp, fold up the spout and put it back. And the candy bins... People seem to totally thing they are part of a free candy buffet. People and their kids.
And then weirdly enough, kids can get a free cookie at the bakery. Can you say mixed message?
Anyway, I think people who 'sample' food at the grocery store should be sent to Singapore, whipped with a cane on their bare butts and then returned to America, with a stern warning that next time it will be their genitalia.
It surprised me greatly that all the comments to the story were totally negative towards Albertsons, as if THEY had done something wrong. One person said that he wasn't shopping at Albertson's ever again. I'd have him sent to Singapore just on general principles.

my mom never let us get candy out of the bins, she said it was dirty with anyone being able to reach a hand in there. this seems petty, but if everyone stole 4 jelly beans, then prices add up i guess. sucks to be caught.
jilly
Who are the sons of Albert and why are they stingy with their candy? My mommy always taught me to share or hide my candy if there wasn't enough to go around.
Why are you always supporting the victims, bleeding heart? If they didn't want their candy to be eaten for free, why did they put it in that outfit?
Whip them all soundly and put them to bed.
Amateur. Everyone knows the lime beans are the best. The rest is just change.
