Supermarket etiquette

[ooger]

An apology, of sorts.....all i wanted was milk.....

In the supermarket the other day, I was looking at the milk, and trying to work out which green 6 pinter was the normal, non-organic, non-energy-inseminated variety.

OK, it was Waitrose and I wasn't familiar with the labelling, anyway....

Just as I selected my desire, some jodpur-clad lady waltzed up and pinched it, right in front of my very eyes. THE LAST ONE.

This narked me, somewhat, as you can imagine. I wanted 6. Not 4+2 or a combination thereof.

So I did what any other theft victim would have done of course, and tailed her around the shop until she left her trolley, when I claimed my milk, swiftly paid, and left.

Sorry if that was you, but quite frankly

"I SAW IT FIRST"

(and its not theft unless you bought it)


and


I've been wanting to tell you since Wednesday, if that makes any difference. I am sorry. But not a lot.

[tactcom7]

reminds me of those cravendale adverts! :)

[Davido]

That's bloody brilliant!

Oh how i laughed while I was reading through that. Just this long story about you stealing her milk which culminates in you stealing it.

Love it.

[Stig]

Agreed, that was quite funny. Although I would never have done anything like that myself. :lol:

[Stingo]

:smt044 Tis also funny here in Plymouth.:cheers:

[Jdubya]

Top marks for that one!

but....... you were too slow, and beaten to it by a old lady, simply seeing somthing does not entitle you to it.......... you hesitated, and you lost out far and square........ but then lowered yourself to a commen theif

(very funny though)

[kitkat]

oh no ooger :(you are a ditherer :rolleyes: you position yourself right in front of t he milk and spend 5 minutes looking at them all, people cant get past you, its milk ffs ;) then they take charge, take their milk and you steal it :-s shame on you. You would be in casualty if you tried that up here lol.

did make me giggle. people with jodphurs should not be allowed in shops, its just wrong and smelly (unless they are clean jodphurs)

Scene - Jodphur Lady's House (Interior)

There is the sound of small children sobbing.

Billy - But Mummy, why has Jesus taken away our milk? Timmy needs it for his rickets so.

Jodphur Lady - Be strong little ones. There will be money again next wednesday...

Im sorry...I never realised I smelt that bad! :( ;)

and Ooger...good on yer - I would never had had the guts but dont you hate it when that happens!

[punyXpress]

Just hope the security cameras ( like so-called speed cameras, but not yellow )didn't spot you!
Well done!

[timwilky]

My local Asda have a habit of not putting out 6 pint bottles when their 2 pint ones are not selling. I ask them for the six pinters and they go to the back and bring 1 out. I then ask them for another 3. They tend to see sense then

[Demonz]

Can just see it backfiring and her chasing you down the isle screaming... Ballsy move.

I worked as a security guard for 8 months for tesco between jobs... this is quite funny but nothing in the grand scheme of things that go on in supermarkets.... ;)

trolley rages and swingers are among the funnier stories

[ArtyLady]

I worked for Tescos when i was a student.......bargain time at the end of the day used to be my worst nightmare.......trolley rages between old ladies..yes, but swingers???


Ahhhh but this story has really made me laugh....it reminds me of the naughty people putting items into to 'jodpur ladies' trolley to get their own back on her wicked ways:p

I'm pleased that on the whole, the org tend to favour my actions. I do hope her children do not have rickets.

The non-crime was actually committed whilst she had her back turned at the meat counter. Easy pickings. That'll teach her to take a ticket and wait.

Any CCTV would show me grinning manically clutching my prize heading for the tills. The whole thing reeks of the Adventures of Sir Digby Chicken-Caesar now I think about it

....Incidentally, I've just had 8 squares of cadburys and a nice glass of milk. The milk tastes much better when you had to work for it.

The end :rolleyes:

[dissuade]

nice moves. you will burn in hell a little bit for that, but i'm sure it was worth every pint.
