A grocery store, just like any other public place, has its own etiquette. Perhaps some of the rules are unspoken and not taught in any textbook or at school.

Numerous experts tell us to think twice before taking a hot relaxing bath, to install low-flow shower heads, to purchase water-efficient toilets, and so on.
