I went to the checkout with the following..

A sausage
2 slices of bacon
a roll
a small tin of beans

The checkout lady scanned them and said " your single eh "
" Yes, I suppose you can tell by the shopping " I answered
" No, your just one ugly bas***d " she replied

The other day there (coincidence that this thread came up) I seen Indian? Man, couldn't really tell from the back, but he was dark toned.

with around 120 Rolls of Toilet paper loading it into the back of his Ford Galaxy! . Either, he has extreme, dangerous case of the runs, or he has never heard of contraception? I thought it was weird because it was Asda not a Cash and Carry so, the theory of him owning a small grocers is out the books? Or, maybe he was making a white Ninja suit out of it all

I once saw a Pakistani who I knew ran a small corner shop walking out of a supermarket with two, or it may have been three, big trolleys piled high with just lemonade. The supermarket was retailing it cheaper than small shop owners could get it from cash and carry wholesalers.

Tractor magazine??? I never knew there was such thing: you really learn something new every day!

There are magazines for new and vintage tractors as well as earth moving plant.

I used to know a guy who ran a guest house. He regularly had a walk around the supermarket before going into the cash and carry as he reckoned it wasn't unusual to find his requirements cheaper there.

Sad but true, I know someone who runs a corner shop and often buys the discounted stuff out of the supermarkets at closing time to sell it on in his own shop as the wholesaler cannot match the prices.

My older sister told me she once found a fellow customer's eye bulging at her trolley-full: half a dozen 2-litre bottles of cider and a dozen cans of Whiskas. Groping for some comment to cover her embarrassment, the woman said 'Well, that's you and your cat sorted.' My sis gave her a twisted smile: 'What makes you think I have a cat?'

Not in a supermarket but a newsagent's in France, I was once behind a young man who was buying a huge pile of magazines on all kinds of completely unrelated subjects, train spotting, gardening, holidays, aircraft, wine, you name it, he had it. Then as the assistant worked her way through the pile there it was hidden in the middle: Gay Times. Poor bloke, I felt so sorry for him!

How Embarrassing LOL! This is by far the best one!

 

[Jdratcliffe]

lol i avoid this by A) shopping online! B) buying needed items on the go like chocolate etc in different location each day and C) sending the misses!

The self service checkouts in Tescos are a God-send for anyone wanting to buy something embarrassing.

Make sure you don't just buy x12 bog rolls and 4x6pt milk...people will think all you ever do is drink milk and sit on the khazi.

Actually, if you were to ask my wife thats not far off the truth.

Tractor magazine??? I never knew there was such thing: you really learn something new every day!

When my older nephew Oli was about 2, he was crazy about tractors, as most boys that age are. I found a tractor magazine in the recycling that was perfectly clean, so I sent it to my sister for him to look at.

Trouble was, he's bright, and information obssessive, and had learned that where there are pictures, the squiggles underneath are words, which convey facts. My sister said she spent hours looking at it with him, while he demanded "Read it! Read it!" and she had to read "This lovely 1952 Fordson Super is fitted with the original back hoe, although with later hydraulic... zzzzzzz"

(He's into dinosaurs now, and 4, so he'll soon be reading it all for himself)
