They did this at the supermarket I worked at as a teenager.
Fuck that noise though, no one was watching me work so I'd just eat some pastries I was supposed to be throwing away. Didn't take anything home, but you better believe I'm not going to just throw it all away without eating something!
Their mentality was "if you want it enough, pay for it, otherwise you don't really want it."
Mother fucker it's going in the garbage that's the only reason I'd "want" it... I don't "need" to buy it, but I don't want it go to waste.
