NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo. Oooooooof. Hoogey! 🤢
This has been trending on Twitter last couple days.
As you can see, the video has over 1 million views.
This dude is so bold...THAT’S the scary part.
Does anyone recognize if this was Mariano’s in Chicago?

The Reddit user who claimed to have captured the footage added
that the video shows the man's second attempt to covertly eat from
the hot bar. The witness claims to have notified security right after
the footage was shot.
The name of the grocery store was not reported, but one eagle-eyed
Twitter user claimed it was likely a Mariano’s supermarket in the
metropolitan Chicago area “based on the Vero coffee in the
background and their sushi station in the corner.”

Ha - he wanted a sample! I frequently see people sampling produce. That's no better than the soup guy, though less gross.
I never take food from those open bars, whether it's a supermarket or a restaurant. They're a formula for disaster.

I learned of this over the weekend from my daughters boyfriend. He knows I’m reluctant to go to buffets and supermarket self serve areas!
think I’ll continue to follow my instincts.

"The witness claims to have notified security right after

Why didn't he video that?
"Never argue with a fool. Onlookers may not be able to tell the difference."

Could be staged.
People will set up anything to get a viral video.

Yes....could be staged, but lets us know how easy it is for anyone to contaminate the buffet items.

Oh @sidsmom I live in the Chicagoland area and that quite possibly could be a Mariano's but to be honest the way these stores are set up I can't imagine an employee wouldn't be sprinting toward him as this is a very well run grocery chain and to be honest their soup bar is right in the middle of a main aisle. I am thinking/hoping that this is a staged photo op and shame on them.
