do you care what people think of your supermarket purchases?

Don't really give a monkey's, only bother so that the heavy stuff get's packed together.

I once went to the local Co-op with one of the lads before we went out, had to get a cucumber for the plec and had chapped lips so also bought a tin of vasline, wasn't until we'd been through the till whilst talking about what a great night it should be that we both clicked what it may have looked like. Would have been better if I'd picked up some durex as well.

Don't care what they think. though i did get some starnge looks buying 3 bottles of night nurse, tissues and condoms, but this is the place that always ID's me for buying snowballs or babycham.
I need to stock up the booze cupboard and thats going to be interesting - Absoulte x3, JD, Chambord, Bacardi, Jager, Cointreau, Schnapps, red wine and a few btls of cider. I leave the beer to the men!

Men always have their card ready but always balls up the payment cos they put the card in the machine before the clerk has finished

All the oldies that get their PIN number wrong and refuse to accept that they got it wrong and that my machine is broken. Then when my supervisor comes to sort it out, the customer goes "well I suppose he's only new at this job" bloody cheek, I've been working here for 2 years madam

Yes I always feel as if I'm being judged by my shopping. Usually because I'm judging the person in front of my by their shopping.

Its not as bad as it used to be, a load of Cider, a bottle of Southern Comfort and a couple of microwavable ready meals. Nothing says single man more.

So I decided to try and go a bit healthier and that's where my problems started. I began to get into the habit of grabbing a basket and then stalking the isles looking for someone who appeared healthy, I'd then follow them around the store putting the same items they took off the shelf into my basket. Old people don't notice me doing this, but for some reason young single women are "worried" by my actions. I'm not allowed in Sainsbury's any more.

So I tried the 24hr Tescos. I found shopping became so much more fun at about 2 in the morning, once I had a couple of pints. Everything was more fun at first but the buzz started to wear off so I started to do things to amuse my self. The last time I was there I ran in, sweating with a panicked look on my face at 2:30 in the morning. I ran up and down the isles occasionally knocking stuff over as I spun round in a panic. Eventually one of the assistants came up to me to see if I was alright, I grabbed him and shock him while desperately trying to find out where the loo brushes were. I'm not allowed in Tescos any more.

I've started to use internet shopping as I'm fast running out of supermarkets to visit.

Here's a shopping list for the brave amongst you... if you buy it, film it and post it here I'll pay the bill!!
You gotta do it at a large supermarket on a Saturday morning, say 11am... and you've got to find a queue with an under-age cashier so she has to call someone to approve the alcohol purchase.

2 x large cucumbers
1 x pot of olives
1 x dried sausage
1 x bunch bananas
1 x vaseline
1 x ky jelly
7 x packs flavoured condoms
1 x pack disposable razors
1 x hair removal cream
1 x bottle vodka

And lastly, you have to ask to speak to the supervisor and then ask him/her what the returns policy is on the hair removal cream if it doesn't work on men.

Go on!!

I'am not sure what to do with the olives!

I'm a delivery driver for a well known supermarket, what I find embaresses customers the most is when I give them the short list of what wasn't available or subsituted when its durex or ky jelly. Its always the nice ones too haha

[dizzyblonde]

done the KY and cucumber, its an old gag.

As for shopping, I think ours looked exceedingly healthy tonight

Not that I'm at all bothered with what I shove on the checkout.
