I wish rules were rules and not rules are rules depending on who you talk to.

When you have plenty of CBP employees telling people that 'if it goes in your mouth, you must declare it, even if it is allowed', it is completely inappropriate for a CBP agent to snap "why are you wasting my time?" at a traveller who declares chocolates and candy.
It's even more inappropriate to then send them for an inapplicable agricultural screening (I'm talking about you, ORD).
