After awhile the guys on the floor get to know you. I can't see how there is any harm if you are willing to pay for the bite out of the apple. Everyone tastes the grapes and no problem if they don't overdo it.Yeah a good idea but it's "not done" over here as far as I know. The staff and managers in our supermarkets would be shocked as would would other customers who happened to be near and looking
I do taste grapes if they are not boxed and in supers they usually are. I buy most of my fruit in the local market on a Tuesday which always ripe but not overly whereas in supers fruit is unripe and hard.
I know in Europe especially France customers are selective and before buying produce handle it and examine what they plan to buy. Good for them I say. Many Brits are acquiescent and undemanding in their general shopping habits imo

Might just try it one day...can just see the reaction in my local Tesco.

Customers here are not shy.
One day I was in line and a woman refused to pay for a candy bar her little boy was eating.
She told them if you put the bars where a child can reach them you are negligent.
She had a point. They do have them where a child can reach them on display.

And merchants have the right to expect parents to control their children or leave them at home.

I'm with the lady. You can't keep watching your children 24/7 from unscrupulous merchans dangling goodies in front of toddlers. L.O.L.
