The economic principle of Pigouvian taxation states that market activities which generate negative externalities should be taxed. Thus, there should be cameras in grocery stores produce sections, and people who spend more time picking apples should pay more for their apples

If you pick a random apple, you impose no externalities on others. If you pick good apples, you are leaving all the bad apples for other people. Society should charge you more for taking all the good apples from other people, and you should feel bad about yourself
