, you should be charged the price of the food if you grab perishable food and place it in an area that renders it unsafe

That'd constitute a massive retooling of consumer behavior and logic and would require quite a bit of conditioning over many years, no?

Not really. Customers already pay more if they don't have the company card, aren't "loyal" etc... Instead of it being framed as a fine or punishment or way to "fire customers" it is simply referred to as a discount and a way to get coupons.

> retooling of customer behavior
