Is Squeezing Blueberries Acceptable Grocery Store Behavior?

So what about etiquette when it comes to fruit picking? We asked you the question "Is Squeezing Blueberries Acceptable Grocery Store Behavior?" We received a lot of feedback from you on how you feel about "blueberry squeezing". To be honest I have never squeezed blueberries lol I do look at color and the deeper the blue the better and the size. So no green tiny berries for me, that's as simple as I can explain how I look for ripe berries. What did YOU have to say, is it ok to squeeze your berries? lol

Arlene: Ewwwww.  I cringe every time I see people picking up anything then putting down an picking another one up.  Soooo gross

Bob: That’s like squeezing someone’s head and asking if their ripe lol

Paul: The produce department is not a sampling department. Bring them home and return them if you don’t like them. And stop eating grapes out of the bag.

Yosi: I believe “squeezing others berries” is illegal

Bob: Fruit abuse is considered a felony in some states.

Kevin: No

Debbie: No No No

Nikki: Gonna say no to that

Evelyn: No. Others have to eat and bake with it
