Buying eggs.

[longers]

Is it just me?

Or do they open the eggbox and have a look as they scan it when you buy them?

I've come up with three possible reasons.

-Because I'm a bloke I can't be trusted not to buy cracked eggs.
-I look really gormless and can't be trusted not to buy cracked eggs.
-Or I look really shifty and they think I'm trying to smuggle out an extra couple in the box.

Do they only do this to blokes?

Just you, it seems.

Think yourself lucky lad- you wouldn't even get in my shop looking like that!

They often do it in the Sainsburys I shop in. I don't mind at all since I sometimes forget to check myself when I'm in a hurry.

They do it in order to look caring.

Without wishing to make you feel like you're walking on eggshells, you might be more circumspect when making yolks about people who've cracked up.

Reason 4: They don't trust you - you might have taken that Basics box and swapped the occupants for top of the range organic free range eggs!

I always steal a couple by sticking them in my trouser pockets. This of course means I can only shop in Asda, Tescos or M&S so I can also buy a new pair of trousers as the ones I steal always seem to have a weak shell.

It's not just you.
So that's all white then.

We used to do this in our shop, so you dont get a cracked one, any cracked ones were sent back to the supplier and we were credited for them.

Not me guv - I've heard of it being done in Sainsburys though.

Cash & carries/Cité Europe open cases of wine for the same reason.
