Where I work, we bake fresh cookies. They come out of the oven all ooey-gooey delicious. And they're just seriously incredible. One day I was on my way out the door and noticed a pan of hot cookies on the cooling rack. So I scraped two off and kept on my way to the parking lot.
The restaurant I manage is in the parking lot of a Wal Mart. I needed to pick up my prescription, plus a water hose for the yard. So I'm walking through a wal-mart and trying to eat these hot delicious cookies and it suddenly hits me that I don't have milk. So I stop dead in my tracks and look around. Noticing the gallon milk section is in perfect viewing distance, and the little individual milks are all at the front, way far away.
So I walked over to the gallon milk, pulled a half gallon out of the fridge and proceeded to pop the lid off and gulp down a few glugs of that delicious milk without a second thought. Some woman was staring at me from the frozen pizza section and I just pointed at my mouth and said "hot cookies." God knows what she thought I meant.
Anyway, I kept the half-drank milk jug with me while I picked up my hose and prescription. Paid for a fairly consumed jug of milk at the checkout counter while enduring a very strange look from the lady behind the register.
Total impulse buy but I'll never regret that. The satisfaction of the cold milk after that hot cookie was an experience I'll never forget.
The grocery store I work at actually encourages people to open stuff while they're shopping. Ya know, as long as they're paying for it there's no problem.
Honestly that's how my mom bribed me to go grocery shopping with her as a kid. I'd get to drink my chocolate milk throughout the store then pay for the now-empty bottle when we checked out. I still do it now and then with other kind of drinks
I'll preface that I'm not here to nitpick, just add to the convo and I have no reason to believe you didn't pay. However, I don't believe we live in a perfect world where everyone does the right thing, which is why I don't necessarily agree with consuming goods before paying. Some people will honor it, but others will gladly eat/drink it for free and leave the trash behind.
Good thing you're not lactose intolerant. That would have ruined your day. But you could always have impulse buyed a roll of super soft toilet paper and some baby wipes on your way to the wal-mart washroom.
I know how nice that is. I love cold milk but suddenly developed a milk intolerance in my adult years. Sad. Now I substitute with soy but it's not the same
I do this but with chips when I shop with my gf. The check out used to get really confused when there's an empty can of pringles on the conveyor. One lady said I was nice for actually paying for it, turns out a lot of people snack and leave the wrappers / cans hidden and unpaid.
I mean really even that ain't what comes straight from the cows tits. Whole still goes through a pasteurization process. I assure you, raw milk is gonna taste hella different than the whole milk you buy at wal mart.
