Good for you. It's interesting that people that would not even
dream of sampling a grape at a supermarket, have no qualms about
stealing in other ways, and will often laugh at people that
don't break the same laws they are breaking.

And everyone in your world is so eager to pay taxes, they do not
even have to be told... At least in my state, the state never
tells anyone that they are supposed to pay a "usage" tax on
out-of-state purchases. I seem to recall someone working for the
state telling me that the state has a usage tax but that nobody
pays those taxes.

Another reason for not sampling a grape at the supermarket is
because others might be putting their grubby hands all over the
grapes too.
