It could be that the gentleman who plugged in the cart had the mentality that it was just a few cents and could see no wrong in what he was doing. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he argued with the police officer and, possibly, whoever reported him.
Good point. We need undercover officers in the produce department at Publix to arrest all those retirees who decide to sample the grapes without buying any. We can then expand enforcement to other major crime areas once that problem is resolved.
