I'm not sure I understand the problem.  The customer took the product
from the shelf himself.  The cashier is not giving it to him, all he's
doing is making him pay for it.  I'm not sure how that's mesayea` to
the eventual act of eating it.  It's not true that the customer couldn't
eat it without paying; just as he's capable of eating treif he's also
capable of stealing.  That he doesn't want to steal is to his credit,
and by charging him the cashier helps him avoid the avera of stealing;
what's wrong with that?
