    I’ve tried the cut and taste method. It works but it gets you thrown out of a lot of supermarkets.

      At the place I worked at, we let anyone request a sample of something. I would slice the watermelon in half, let them try a bit, and shrink-wrap it if they liked it. I sold a lot of watermelon that way! Ask an employee and they might do that for you. If the customer didn’t want it, we just used it for samples or fruit cups, so there wasn’t any waste.

        They’re usually OK with the first one, it’s when you sample 6 or 7 to find the best one that they start getting all uptight.
