They won’t like that, Rory! Be careful, buddy.

GM, Marg!

Rory looks cute in the lettuce section… GM Terry.

Adds a new dimension to the term ‘grazing’. (Grazing is what it’s called when you ‘try out’ the grapes, for example).

Rory’s just broken the law. He’s now a lamb on the lam.

The way it looks like Rory has already finished the radishes and is now working his way through the lettuce. Will he manage to get to the carrots bevore he is caught? The tension is killing me!

You better make that lettuce a to go order

Grazing is a form of “shrink” a market cannot afford.

Excuse me Miss, you going to weigh those grapes before or after you eat them.

Thou shalt not—–

“Why, hello there! My name is Rory and I’m a food taster by profession.”

Nice to see Rory finally getting ahead

Rory should take his lettuce to go. Otherwise a little lamb might find himself on display in the meat section.

“Good appetizer – now where’s the clover section??”

Rory, hop over to “Overboard.” There are some rabbits there that need the competition.

It’s Rory’s turn to avoid the butcher.

Gives a whole new meaning to “farm fresh”, doesn’t it?

Tell me about it. (rolls eyes) I work at one. I just wish they would quit spitting the cherry pits on the floor.

Some of the upscale groceries in our area sort of encourage grazing. They offer samples..and by doing that, control what is grazed upon.
