Should I test the fruit at a local hypermarket when I’m deaf?

As all you melon fans out there will know the only way to test a melon for ripeness is to knock it and see what kind of noise it makes. As I’m hard of hearing I cant do this, and on occasion I take a little knife into the store and cut a small bit off to taste it.

Sooner or later I may get caught. The store has upped its security after recently catching a member of the clergy trying to sample some member of staff on the ethnic foods section.
Do I carry on testing my melons, or just stick with stuff from the hardware department, like wind chimes etc ?
Just ask a stocker for assistance. Make up a little card that says “I’m hard of hearing! etc. etc.” As long as you don’t get hyper about needing help, you should be alright.
I THINK YOU COULD ASK FOR ASSISTANCE. I WOULD BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT THE CLERGY MEMBER TRYING TO SAMPLE SOME MEMBER OF STAFF!
Ask someone to help you, maybe the gramma lookin’ lady close by.
I would not bring a knife in a store nor would I damage their goods by cutting it.
Either smell it or ask someone in the produce section to assist you with your selection.
