Sampling, because I refuse to pay good money for substandard grapes. Don't get me wrong, I don't just eat a handful and not buy any. I eat one, and if it's good, I'll buy some. I love grapes, especially with Munster.
I think this is, technically, the correct answer.Who Dares Wins said:

Depends on whether or not you have the intention to buy the grapes if they're good.
Kinda the same thing with pirating before buying a game.

Stealing. Because if you buy them, and they happen to be... I don't know... venomous? (Or whatever reason people have for 'sampling') then you just demand your money back.
Stealing. If all grapes taste the same then what is the point of trying on unless you don't know what a grape tastes like. If all grapes don't taste the same then one grape can't be used as a measure for a bunch.
Not that I am saying it is wrong, just that it is stealing.
p.s. I assume some people can gage the quality of a bunch of grapes by tasting one and that is whay they do so (just to address the issue).

Exactly. C'mon people, unless they say otherwise, you're stealing and you know it.Who Dares Wins said:
Stealing since when you buy a bunch of grapes you should see it without any of the grape unpluck from the rest of it (assuming if no one had sample it).
Also sometime you see grapes in a plastic bag or container. Well ok it probably for packaging purposes but come on it to prevent people from sampling it.

Depends... If the grapes cost by the bunch, then you are dividing the grape into a separate bunch, and thus should pay full price for the whole bunch. And you don't get the bunch the smaller bunch originally came from.
However, if the grapes are priced based on weight, then it is perfectly possible to weigh the person who ate the grape. So as long as you know what weight you are (precisely) you can eat the grape ans then pay for them.

Stealing. You wouldn't take a bite out of an apple then put it back because it didn't taste good. Nor would you pluck a banana off a bunch and eat that just to see if "the rest of them are ripe". It's the same reason you wouldn't open a bag of potato chips to test one and see if it's crisp, or a slice of bread from the loaf, etc, etc...
Just because they're out in the open and accessible for you to take doesn't mean you should. If they have free samples out then of course, go ahead and try. Pulling a few off a stem, just because you can, is still wrong. Buy them, and eat them, just like you would with anything else.

Sampling, cause statistically, if you take one grape (and only you) and then buy the bunch, the cost is so minute that it doesnt matter.
Now once you go in say 3+, then its stealing.
