The Golden God Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Lots of people seem to be standing in front of me at self checkouts buying nothing or the things they have bought they bought ten minutes previously and are still just standing their blocking it (and the one next to it somehow) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they engage in strange behaviour before they leave the house, how is that relevant to this thread? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 A couple of years ago the chap in front of me at Morrison’s that evening had 1/2doz tubs of pre cut pineapple and a bottle of rosé wine. I think the lucky young lady (I assume) was in for a fun night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clangers Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 When we were in holiday in Japan (20 years ago) we used to dare each other to buy the strangest order at 4am. I can remember buying a weirdo jazz mag, 1 apple, 3 grapes an egg sandwich (no crusts), medical cream (I think it was for spots, but it was just symbols) and some uncooked mince. Best but was that we had been swimming in a fountain just before so all my cash was dripping wet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 In one of my last retail jobs, there was a guy who'd stop by just before closing every Sunday to buy a single can of his favourite tipple, a box of tissues, and the one copy of the Sport that we ordered. Had the weary look of a man who couldn't care less who knew his trousers would be around his ankles within minutes of getting home. Another regular at the same place would usually leave his car keys on the counter when paying, then dash back in for them immediately, loudly exclaiming, "can't forget the keys to my <insert expensive make of car here, I forget which>". Did it dozens of times, so I guess it was important to him that everyone knew he drove an expensive car. Eventually saw him working as a delivery driver at a takeaway near my place; I don't know much about cars, but even I know what a clapped-out old banger looks like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably the angle grinder was your insurance to not have to call the Fire Brigade? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 When the Lidl opened in Possil they leaflets all the nearby houses advertising their opening week's offers: opera glasses and cigar humidors. Outstanding market research. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Looking at this thread from a slightly different perspective, last year I was in a souvenir shop in Glengarriff, Co. Cork and they had decided to stack the following items next to the tills in a promotional push: 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venti Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Slightly OT, but was in M&S & had a fair trolley's full of stuff. There was 1 cashier on. 3 people in front all had baskets with f**k all in them & the self serve was totally empty. What is wrong with people? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two young girls about 14 or 15 trying to get morning after pills. The guilty one looks absolutely mortified and her pal was pishing herself laughing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some places now where the self-service tills are card only. Although if it was the M&S at Crow Road, two of the self-service tills are absolute dicks, so I can understand avoiding them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
