Hillonearth Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Was in Poundland picking up a couple of things at lunchtime. They seem to have a thing recently where if you go through the human checkout they ask you if you want to donate a quid to an unspecified local charity and they’ll send some specified item to it – it’s fairly obvious that the "selected" items they’re donating are either stuff they’ve overstocked on or is about to go out of date. Today’s items? Family bags of fucking Skittles… Maybe there actually IS a charity out there ministering to the needs of people born with E-number deficiencies – if as I suspect there isn’t I doubt many others will be overjoyed with receiving boxes upon boxes of chewy fruit substitute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else noticed the Braehead Poundland has Elvis voicing their automatic check outs? No idea if it's still happening or if it's just the one store, but it's cringey as f**k. That said, I've long railed against the Scottish automatic check outs having English accents so I should be happy it's now not some nippy woman from the home counties telling me I'm an idiot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed this today in the Poundland on Argyle Street. I was so disgusted I nearly left my ibuprofen and packet of Rasberry Ruffles there at the scanner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
