The buyer has the right to try food or drink in the store before paying for it. This was told by the lawyer Nadezhda Kolotovich.

“Civil legislation does not directly stipulate and at the same time does not prohibit the right of the buyer to “taste” the product before paying for it. When a person picks up the goods and carries them to the checkout, he accepts the terms of the offer and the purchase of the goods. That is, in fact, it concludes a contract of sale with the store. This agreement, in turn, gives the buyer the right to do anything with the product, including trying and even eating or drinking it completely, ”Kolotovich said in an interview with Lenta.ru.

As the lawyer noted, if a person tried the product right in the store, he still has to pay for it. Even if the product turns out to be expired, a complaint to the store can only be made following payment. If the buyer tries the product and returns it to the shelf, he faces an article for petty fraud.
