My understanding is that for most grocery stores, you're stealing from the grocery store. They're responsible for theft and stuff like food going bad. However, if enough people steal a certain brand, the store might stop carrying it.
I think the notable exception to this is Costco, where Costco never actually owns the stock in the store; it's the brand's until you buy it.
I just stick my figer in it.
A stolen item is not noticed by customers. A vandalised product still in the store sows doubt in the customer about food safety.
Who knows what us fanatics might do to it?
Stick your ear in it and leave an indentation in the hummus.
That is something only an artist can come up with.
