Sparkling Nibbler

Mrs. Marie Marks Schor, wealthy Miamian, charged with shoplifting because she liked to eat stuff from the shelves as she did her grocery shopping. Sounds like she was having quite a meal: ham, candy, strawberries, bananas, and string beans.

Only in Miami, my neighbor to the north. Now Whole Foods encourages you to sample off their make your own meal selections of prepared foods. They are happy to give you sample cups and you can nibble to your delight. And on occasion they provide wine, beer, cheese and chocolate samples. And singles, there is always a collection of buff and beautiful individuals to mingle with over the wine samples.

Surprising that the store would make a deal of this with regular customers like these people.
