Grape theft at work today - was i unreasonable to weigh a stalk

I feel like i have taken part in a crime. I work in a supermarket and today i watched as a mother wizzled round with her list (which she lost whilst in the fruit shoots aisle). Anyway i digress, this shopper let her child eat the whole bag of grapes she had picked (un weighed) then had the cheek to wander up to the checkout with just the stalk. I did not want to cause a scene so scanned the stalk Shock. I am now riddled with guilt in case my manager sees this on the CCtv and thiks i have been party to the crime. AIBU to think she not only commited a crime herself but now has also put my reputation at risk. For the record her list did say "nice ham", it also had 7 bottles of blossom hill, free grapes - wtf???? and pom bears. I bet the child is shittign through the eye of a needle tonight.

I know unwashed indeed - i woudl never do this in our store or any store for that matter as our young workers use the grape store as a unrinal. Thats why the grapes sometimes seem more shiney than others.

My oh my. Was the list written on the back of a national lottery slip?

I sympathise for you OP I really do. But clearly feeding a child unwashed grapes is a matter for Social Services and as such you must report this matter.

It takes a viliage you know

MotherMucca · 07/05/2011 18:58

You, my girl, are a heinous conspirator. Do you not know that you have now inadvertently put the price of grapes up FOR YOU, FOR ME, FOR EVERYONE.

Not big, not clever.

Too funny. Grin

But yes of course you most certainly have put your reputation at risk - have a Greggs sausage roll to make yourself feel better. Grin

supermarketworker · 07/05/2011 19:03

the list was a tear off purpose list of one of those naff middle class organiser calendars .

No to the greggs sausage roll as this week Greggs have bought out a chicken and stuffing lattice and they are devine - you can feed your family for £4.40 (2 for £2.20 ) Wink

I wonder if I could do the same for a couple of bananas? I hate them when they go black, so if we go as a family we could eat our banana on the way around and just weight the skins. I'm liking this. A lot Grin

supermarketworker · 07/05/2011 20:47

On an aside please can you avoid my counter (if i am still in employment next week) as i really dont think i will be able to turn a blind eye to your "type" and dont want to get labelled.
