Hi dears
What natives use when greengrocer want to sell water melon by sample and cutting the water melon & giving one part of it to consumer (knowing that his/her watermelon is sweet ) and if it's sweet consumer will buy it or in other hand if it's not sweet he/ she would be able to not buy the watermelon .
Is any equivalet for this in english language?
E.g something like Watermelon(With) free samples

Watermelon (with) free trial
I'll be thankful if somebody could help me
We don’t even have many greengrocers these days. Most fruit and vegetables are sold in supermarkets and small independent grocery stores. So this is just not a standard practice. I suppose a seller at a market might offer customers a taste of something like watermelon, but there’s no set term for this.

Thanks very much ♡
The watermelon-seller lets his customers taste before they buy.

(In Greek street-markets they may cut a wedge out of the watermelon so that you can see it's a good deep colour and full of juice, which means that it's ripe. Whether it's sweet enough is very subjective, so they don't usually offer the cut piece for us to sample. 👁 Smile :)

Same in Italy. 👁 Smile :)
Where I live that's just called a sample.

Not often, but sometimes in the grocery store they will give you a chance to taste some of the products. It could be anything from fruit, to a packaged product, to sometimes even meat cooked in little bite-sized pieces (with little toothpicks stuck in them).

As you walk by they will say "Would you like to try a free sample?"
The same is true where I live, even (maybe especially) in a big supermarket. I've seen samples of diffierent things: dry cereal in little cups, cheese cubes on toothpicks, and pieces of watermelon or other fruit, also on toothpicks.
