Which is why there are security guards in supermarkets in France.... not necessarily to stop you leaving without paying, but to stop the bums coming in and eating everything without paying and before leaving (100% legal).
An odd law that makes for great foreign viewing for foreigners seeing French prod, smell pieces of fruit, cheese, vegetables in the supermarket.
