Anno, my husband does the same thing -- endless sampling of food to the point where he makes a complete meal of it. It's embarrassing, I've spoken to him about it, but he insists that it's OK so I just walk to another part of the store so I don't have to watch.

I've luckily not had the wear-and-return problem with my jewelry, but occasionally items are stolen. It shakes me up. Just a few times I've caught the thief, and given them verbal grief for the stress they gave me.
