FORT WORTH, Texas -- Allegedly eating in the aisles of the grocery store has left a north Texas man facing hefty fines.

Over the weekend, an undercover officer caught the man allegedly eating a bag of shrimp at a Euless Albertson's that he didn't pay for.

According to Euless Municipal Court records the man finished the bag of shrimp, paid for his other items and then left the store.

The man now reportedly faces a $277 fine after being issued a citation for theft under $50.

It is unclear how much shrimp the man ingested, but officials said the shrimp cost only $10.99 per pound.

He ate one bag at $10.99/pound, got a citation for theft under $50, and a $277 fine. (sounds like a math problem now)

$275 is 25 pounds of shrimp.

He probably ate 2-3 lb of shrimp. That $277 is just the ticket, I think, and not restitution for consumed goods.

It's like the Simpsons episode where Homer eats everything at the all you can eat buffet.

Waiter: I'm sorry, ma'am, but everything on the menu has fish in it.
Marge: Mmm, what about the bread? Does that have much fish in it?
Waiter: Yes.

Marge contents herself with some Tic-Tacs in her purse, while Homer eagerly orders the all-you-can-eat dinner. Even before the waiter can give him his plate, Homer is at the buffet cart, carting away an entire tray of shrimp.

Homer continues to gorge himself on shrimp, Marge having fallen asleep, and the rest of the restaurant staff waiting anxiously, as it is already closing time, the chairs upended.

Can't talk. Eating.
