Most bizarre shopping basket to make the cashier go Hmm. Only 5 items allowed...yours?
(56 Posts) TweetI bet this has been done to death. 
I've been getting zero sleep lately (insomnia you are pants) so a friend told me pile cream is amazing for eye bags (will report back tomorrow if I have been scammed)
So I trot into our local store....
head to checkout......
put items on belt......
get paranoid at realisation it looks weird....
wish I could have done a self checkout jobby instead.
Basket items
Preparation H
Marigold gloves (I'm delicate)
small grater (the stuff for garlic)
4 pack of strawberry Cornettos (DC have friends over for tea)
small bottle of wine (for post tea reward for me)
Checkout lady did not make eye contact, ask if I had a car park ticket, or ask me if it was raining outside. I'll wager she thought I was some weird DIY arse doc....
Yes. Says more about the cashier to be fair
I used to go to Lidl just to buy their recycled loo roll - didn't get to go often so used to stock up - get 3 pack of 12 rolls a time ...
One day I was passing in a hurry - didn't have a pound for the trolley
Grabbed
a 4 pt carton of milk
a door mat (saw them and had meant to get a new one for ages...)
and 4 packs of loo roll - (easier to carry cos still in packaging and no trolley)
was a bit 
thought cashier would think buying 48 rolls a bit odd - then realised it was double layer - actually 8 packs of 12 - 96 loo rolls...
put head down and got out of there asap....
Unlucky83, buying that many at once isn't weird at all. Dumping your trolley because you think it's weird... Is weird. You should have just bought them!
