One of my local stores; that's franchised like nation wide, has produce that is left out for this reason. It's called kids produce. And it's meant to be eaten by kids that are hungry while shopping.
My grocery store does this too except anyone can take it & it's usually "ugly produce" that they can't sell. Helps reduce food waste and keeps people coming back!
Well, believe it or not we used to do this as kids all the time and the store didn’t give a shit because at the end we would scan the empty items because duh
Yes but the point is that they can't do it eith things like loose fruit because they uave to weigh it to get a price. If they can't weigh it, they can't charge so they're losing money
In germany you weigh yourself and it determines the price and gives you a barcode in most stores. So you weigh whatever you want, type in the code and put the sticker on either the produce or the bag you put it in That way you can technically eat a whole kilo of bananas in the store (don't do this) As a cashier I've had people just hand me the wrapper and at first I was so confused but then they said "my kid already ate this so you can just ring it up and throw the wrapper away" Also on hot days a lot of people drink half the bottle of water before they get to checkout, as long as the product doesn't leave the store until you've paid for it there is no issue (in your tummy is still in the store 🤣)
i never been to Germany but there’s some stores like that in the US. from my experience, i only ever saw it in the fancier/higher priced grocery stores. i wish more stores did that here (tbh, there probably would be people who would try to “cheat the system”)
Americans need this because they eat half the weighted items before getting the weight and paying that and the fruit isn’t washed and I started working fresh cut and you don’t realize how disgusting the fruit and veg is before it’s washed.
The other day while waiting behind this woman in line at Walmart, she was eating a chocolate bar and after she ate 3/4s of it left it on the impulse buy shelves like she's done it everytime shes there. She then promptly turns around without cause and disgustingly looks me up and down. I just burst into laughter and said out loud what she did to my partner and she could not have gotten out of there faster lmaooo
I never let my boys eat in the store. I made them wait till we got in the car. I did not let them drink either. I did not want to start that. I see open packages and half eaten stuff all the time in the store. Its horrible. The stores need to stop it from happening!!
I agree! It's disrespectful, in my opinion. If they NEED it (regarding health or even if they're homeless), go ahead. If they don't, they can wait. It's not that bad! My mom and dad made us wait all the time, even when we would throw a fit. We grew within it, and we still don't eat so freely.
As someone has low iron if im out and about i just grab it and pay then eat through out the store ❤️ so I don't make my cashiers angry cuz it's not their fault that I have low iron!
As a previous cashier, if you NEED it, don't feel bad. I've had it happen before (someone needing to eat something quick), and it was no issue! I admire your patience and how you're considerate.
My favorite grocery shopping memories from being a kid were my mom buying a chocolate milk and a $1 bag of chips for us and we’d all have them in the store, paying for them after. I felt like I was getting away with something and also it was a great lil treat.
I would get my kids a banana and then just choose one slightly larger than the one they’re eating and have the cashier weigh it twice. Never have had an issue with it.
In australia, at a lot of woolies/ woolworths, theres a little area that has a few different fruits where kids can take one and eat for free. I think a few coles used to do something similar, but idk.
I work at Publix as a cashier. Yeah. Its really annoying so please dont do it. With that being said, if you do forget, bring us a second banana that was about the same size and we'll weigh it instead. Its seriously not that big of a deal. The main hassle will be that unless you do it, we'll have to get someone else to take the banana back and if we're busy that can be frustrating. But as I said, its seriously not that big of a deal. In bigger stores with strict inventory management, it can be a problem so do try to avoid it, but if you forget or dont think about it, its kinda whatever. EDIT: Since some of yall cant read, allow me to make it clear, I dont care if you eat something while going around the store. My comment is about if you do and if you bring it to us and its a weighed item, then heres an easy solution. If you want to ride my ass because "f corporations! how dare I care about if yall steal!" I dont. I only care if it becomes my problem to handle because I'm sorry, but I'm not going to get written up or lose my job because yall wanted a snack and I am certain others feel the same whether or not they're in this comment section
@@dawnbeltz How many times do I have to say its not a big deal for you to understand that no, I actually dont give a flying fuck? My managers do. Other managers will. Stores with strict inventory management do. So I offered a solution for anyone who might feel bad. Actually read what someone writes before commenting.
@@angelicaa7300 If it is under ten dollars, I have. At Publix its not a big deal. We dont give a f. I literally just made this comment for the stores that do care.
me and my grandma would always eat stuff while at the store either it be a thing of mac n cheese at the walmart bakery or a bottle of soda, we still always paid for it tho and it was especially really nice to eat things before it gets cold lol
Lmao growing up on low income I cannot fathom opening something in the store and eating it before you pay for it. I 100% understand that as long as you can pay for it, it really doesn’t matter if you consume it before purchasing it. I’m the assistant store director at a grocery store and I do see that all the time. Now a days because I can afford it, I’ll do that from time to time if I desperately need a drink before I’m done shopping but it still feels weird despite knowing it’s ok. But growing up it was a big no no because eating it first meant that we were locked into needing to paying for it. A lot of times we would shop but then have to regroup and figure out what we needed to put back and what we were getting. Plus things that make sense to “snack on” while shopping were expensive impulse buy type items anyway. When you only have $100 to spend on a month’s groceries for 5 people that $3 energy bar and $2 soda digs into the funds quite a bit. Especially if your mom is trying to shop with her 3 kids with her. Lmao love this video tho 😂
What about weighing another banana? Theyre mostly all the same size...pick which one looked the mkst similar. I do think this should be against store policy. Buy and then eat...
The very last comment pissed me off, cause the fact that there are many people that are quick to make assumptions, judge and pick. What if diabetic, have low blood sugar, feel faint, haven't had chance to eat/drink, feel nauseous, feel anxious (and eating can help), need to eat little and often for whatever reason, need to eat/have a drink at specific times etc, maybe have medications need to take etc. We don't know why they're eating/having what they are, so unless people are being helpful or kind, should mind their business. Hope any workers that do kick off about it get a wake up call, I'd rather see someone eat then have to clean up sick etc, have someone collapse, having a panic attack or just needing to call an ambulance because the person isn't well for any of the reasons above or others.
Whenever we are out my dad would get chips and open one for my little sister cuz she gets hungry and I would obviously takes some. Then we’d go pay for it and she would still be snacking while I steal some😍
My daughter did this once, I took another banana to the register so we could pay for it and the cashier acted so confused. She was like “how am I supposed to weigh this?” And called a manager over. I had already told her to just scan the one I brought and put it back on the shelf. Then the manager told her the same thing! Took the manager 5 freaking minutes to get the cashier to understand. The cashier was arguing with the manager “but how do we know that they weigh the same? The banana inventory is going to be off!” The manager repeated to just scan and weigh the banana she had in her hands!
Woolworths, a grocery store franchise in Australia has a thing called "free fruit for kids" and it's a little stack of shelves at the store entrance with apples and bananas for your kids to eat while you're shopping. It's such an amazing idea and I love that they encourage kids to eat fruit
My mom used to make us sandwiches in the store 🤣 it was super normal growing up for people to eat. Ive been a cashier for years and none of us care at all.
My cousin Amyywoahh eats in stores too. (FR) Sometimes she thinks that she's a burrito. (See diagram: 🌯) We're from a weird potato family. (See diagram: 🥔🍠) Longgggg story! 🍄🌴🌅🥔🍠🍑🍊🍍🌯🌯🌯🍃🍃🍃
My mom does this lmao has all my 32 years of living. Every time we walk into a storage to grab the diet mountain dew and drinks it while shopping then pays for ot at the register 😂
You mean with eating before paying? If yes it's mostly about ,,what if'' situation where for some reason you can't pay, whether your bank stops working, you find out you forgot your wallet or our system stops working. I live in Poland so I don't know if it's the same (I assume it is?) but if that's happens we have to do papers and call the police and blah blah because now that you don't have the possibility to pay technically it's stealing
@@razor6794 as a cashier we don't care chips aren't that expensive no one goes and eats things that are more than $2 I've seen cashiers just pay the $2. No one is calling the cops for $2.

I have grabbed a snack and ate it b4 checkout (on occasion) but that was because I was dizzy and didn’t wanna pass out. No it wasn’t produce and yes it was paid for 😂 so don’t come @ me
People who eat grapes and cherries when they’re weighed and also unwashed. You realize people shit in the fields right? That’s why people get salmonella from fresh fruit and veggies.
I let my toddler do this with the snack packs....fruit, cheese and crackers. And then scan it later. But the fruit annoys me, that everyone eats out of the bags or containers and then don't buy them, plus with that it's weight so you'll be paying less for it.
I will eat if im feeling faint and pay for it at the register vut i went to Walmart the other day and they had half eaten fudgepops shoved in the freezers and open boxes of cereal
I mean... by LAW no you cant eat the food in the store before you buy it. Of course companies can accept it and make their own rules... but uh, you can definitely get in trouble for that despite if you had intentions of buying it
Um if people just feed their kids before going to the store that wouldn't happen or idk teach your kid that some foods can be eaten in the store and some food can't or idk pay attention to your kids
Id stay away its obvious the person is abnormal. You could end up tied up in a basement and not know where. Possibly for 10 or more years. Best to mind your own bees nest.
