Free sample trays can lead to ugly business. Take 68-year-old Erwin Lingitz, of Gem Lake, Minn., who says he was roughed up at a Cub Foods when confronted over his allegedly egregious abuse of the lunch meat sample tray. A spokeswoman for the store says Lingitz violated "societal norms" regarding how much he took from the trays, and she might have a point: He was arrested with 16 packets of soy sauce, over a half-pound of summer sausage and .85 pounds of beef stick in his pockets. This, after allegedly filling produce bags with "up to 20 cookies from the 'kids' cookie club tray.'" We don't know the rules, but that does sound norm-violating.
