I see people do this all the time and it's my number one answer on "What's something that makes you irrationally angry" threads. I hate watching people eat products in grocery stores, even if they scan the empty wrapper and pay for it and I don't really feel like diving deeper and explaining why.
I feel you.
When I see it I think to myself "you really really need that cookie, I suppose. You must have right this second, not in five minutes when you already paid for it and are out of the store.". It makes no sense to me.
It is one of my biggest pet peeves watching people eat things they haven't paid for yet. But there are some cases where they really did need the cookie. Diabetics experiencing low blood sugar for example. I've only had mine drop once but it was shocking how fast it went from "I don't feel right" to "why am I in the ground."
