Why is it awkward to touch someone else’s items on the checkout conveyer belt?

You are in line checking out at the grocery store with ‘your’ items on the belt. A person behind you reaches forward over the dividing stick, picks up a box of cereal on your side, examines it, and puts it back down on your side.
Why is this considered weird?
You don’t own the items, having not yet paid for them
Many other strangers have touched the items before you arrived in the store
The consumable is contained in a package and protected from contamination

Some stranger moved your cucumber and Vaseline, huh?

This is not 'nam, there are rules.

Because they can do that in the aisle where it is stocked. Don't put your filthy paws on a product I have obviously chosen to buy.

Once I’ve made my selection and placed items in the cart then they are not for public handling.
Why wouldn’t one ask to see or simply just discuss with the other person like a normal human being. Have some respect for personal space. That is what the fkn divider is for you cretin.

Just for that, I'm fricking your wife.

An unknowable number of filthy paws touched the product before you even arrived at the store

I've never seen anyone do this, so I guess that is why it would be considered weird.

I've found that by and large people are rude at the grocery store, even people that are polite in other places. I've always thought it's a carryover from food being a key part of our most basic primal survival instinct.

Why would you do this? I've never done this nor had anyone else do it.

Admit it, you're weird.

Don’t any of y’all ever take the time to wonder why things happen a certain way?
Posted on 6/4/25 at 11:31 am to weagle1999
so have you really done this? If so what happened?

Get 4 bottles of lube and 4 of the largest cucumbers you can find. Put the bottles of lube into the produce bag that the cucumbers are in. When the baw in line in front of you isn't looking, sneak it onto his side of the dividing stick.

I haven’t. I am wondering what it is about the situation that makes it taboo in US society.

Why would you though?
But I will say I was once in line behind an extreme couponer, I mean she had a big stack of them . When I loaded my stuff on the conveyer I put my ribeyes butt up against the last of her groceries then left a small gap between the ribeyes and the rest of my groceries to see her reaction. When the cashier scanned the last of her stuff, she tomahawked her arm on the conveyer in front of my ribeyes and said “DAT’S NOT MINE!!!” Lol, she was not paying for my ribeyes after all that work with the coupons
