Who'd like to join me in a supermarket checkout experiment?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Anyone?

It's quite fum...

This could start a trend. There is so much you can do with them!

I foresee endless 'What does your shopping divider say about you?' type quizzes supermarket magazines.

It is also fun to put boxes of clingfilm across the belt and see if the checkout person gets confused. it used to confuse me

Oh no divider at all is better - it makes people all panicky...you know like they might accidentally pay for your shopping for you.

Only of course they'd also have your shopping, so why would you let them?

I may do this. Maybe I will get outed as a MNer.

Glad to see there's so many easily persuaded people on here.

I've got the WarmFuzzies.

Ok I'm in.
And if the person in front of me does it I'll know they are a mumsnetter no need for a mn scarf- it will be our signal to each other like a secret handshake

Ooh, this could become am ideMNtifier.

Heh.

Ok, I did this in Morrisons, the lady behind me got very huffy and straightened it up..

The mere thought of doing this is making me twitchy. What if their shopping creeps down the side and mingles with yours?

smellyfartado ...you lay it along the conveyor and not across.

I may well join in with this mischief....I don't often go shopping though I buy too much.

How about trying to balance it on its point? Have I taken it too far?

I'm in!

I'm in ... I'm shopping this arvo I'll do it then ..... Hehehe

The thing is, now people won't twitch, they'll just assume you're an evil Mumsnetter.

:o now I feel a bit sad that I only shop online.

So if there are checkout staff on this thread, and in the next few days customers start turning the thingies round, you will know they are an MNer. Could be the start of a beeyootiful friendship.

You could always enquire if they needed any pom bears or that their choice of ham looks very naice. Just to make sure they aren't some random rebellious conveyor belt heathen rather than an MNer experimenting for Chaos :o

I'll do it

I'm in

Just did it..... The woman behind me immediately picked it up and set it straight. No pause, no deep and meaningful thought process. No outing as MNter.

Will have to try again.

Right, I need a plan on what to do with the people that start lining their shopping up behind mine when I have shopping still in my trolley meaning I have no conveyor space to put the rest of my shopping...

Ideas please oh supermarket conveyor grenius...

Yep, I'll be in Waitrose, WGC later today looking out for deviants.

What does it say about you if you just chuck your shopping on all randomly anyway, the person behind must be shaking violently internally.

I'm going shopping later so I'm in. Although DH will almost certainly twitch and move it before a fellow shopper does. Will have to send him to the packing end

I just tried, and I really did try. And then I couldn't do it. It was all WRONG. Bad things might have happened for the rest of the day without having the divider in the perpendicular position.
