Is it normal to drink and put it back on the shelf at grocery store

26% Normal
45 Comments

I was in the store, saw some protein diet peach smoothie stuff on close out. I started filling the cart with it, then thought "what if I don't even like it?" having recently had bought a 4 dollar bottle of kumbacha, only to dislike it at dump it down the drain.

I didn't want to waste money again, so I opened one of the little bottles, took a sip, and didn't like it. I told myself, "I will at least buy the one I drank".
I put the others back and while I was leaving the aisle, I thought, "I could probably get away with just putting this back". So, I put it on the shelf and took off

    Maybe I should come over to your house and drink from the milk jug and put it back because I don't like it.

    How about that!?

    That's still considered shoplifting, even though you didn't take it from the store, so don't do it again.

      Very true, because the product is now rendered unsellable. If there are cameras he could get in trouble and go to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.

    What an asshole.
    They can't sell that now, so it's basically stealing, even if you only broke the seal.
    You should've paid for the one you opened.

    1. It is shoplifting which is illegal.
    2. There are surveillance cameras built in all over the store for crimes like this.
    3. You could make someone extremely sick by doing this. My mother once bought a snapple in the 80's that had been opened. She nearly drunk it until she realises that there was a cloudy white substance. It stayed in our house for about a week until she finally reported it to the cops. They took and later told us that they didn't think it was a poisonous substance. Their theory was that someone had drunk out of it and then put it back on the self.

      This^ To the OP I really don't understand how you are not intelligent enough to know this. This is exactly the reason they now lock up certain items at shops. Because of shitheads like yourself. You should at least paid for that pack or at least thrown it away as to not make anyone sick.

        That's always a possibility. I'm stating not to buy the the opened and exposed spit/bacterial theory. At home, I've opened my fair share of drinks, drunk out of them, and put them back in the refrigerator unfinished many a time and never have I gotten a resulting substance like that!

          Yes, but your fridge is refrigerated. If you pick up a drink off the rack often they are in cans or in plastic packaging. As well as that if you leave an unopened product like that with uncontrolled climate conditions it will start growing bacteria.

          Your area certainly does sound interesting! Never a bored day does there exist in Australia!

          Now, I have witnessed my fair share and screaming children and publicly abusive African families in commercial stores. But, nothing X-rated that can remember…

          Oh wait, there used to be a boy who had a creepy foot fetish in one of the stores I used to go to. His mom would leave him in the magazine section and from there he would often ask people (females?!) if he could see their feet. He really creeped me out.

              Trust me, it is creepy. I don't know why, maybe it is due to my phobia/disgust towards feet, but foot fetishism and the fetishists for it creep me out. There was a show called "True Life" and there was an episode called,"I have a fetish". Well, one of the two people that were shown was this really attractive guy that had a foot fetish. He would actually publicly solicit random women and ask to do things to their feet. He was so CREEPY when he did that! That boy was the same way but much more creepier. He come out that isle as if he were stalking prey and he often wouldn't take no for an answer. He'd keep asking…. It was like the concept of "no" was foreign to him. He must not have been able to read expressions very well either. His mom was nice though and I saw him with her once and we all had a nice conversation. Perhaps, I judged him to quickly? I wonder what happened to them.

    yes. IT IS NORMAL. they don't really care usually, and if someone says something, buy it. Don't put it back though, just keep the cap off and put it near some non-food items or something... God forbid someone with bad vision buys it and doesn't figure it out.

    In the shop I go to you can have a feast with friends and they still wouldn't notice. That was still a wrong thing to do though.

    I do stuff like this all the time. Who give a shit about the store losing an item that will probably go to waste on the shelf anyways.

    I think that's okay. Usually there's a plastic wrap that tells you not to drink if broken. Hope you left that there on the shelf.

      You're stupid. Why would it be okay? You can't open a bottle of fruit juice and leave it to sit at room temperature...not to mention the moral implications of his action.

        In grocery stores everything is free for the taking. Those price-tags mean nothing... Obviously what I wrote wasn't meant to be taken seriously. If someone asks a ridiculous question I just might give a ridiculous answer.

    i say its normal only because i bet a lot of people actually do that. just few people will actually admit it.
    bad you though! drink and pay for it! you do not want to get caught as technically it could be considered shoplifting and depending on your area you could be in big trouble for it.
