To love a good supermarket scrap thread?

[BupcakesAndCunting]

There have been some good ones this week, what with the snow turning everyone rabid and that.

Tell Aunty Bupcakes your best supermarket scrap threads. I loves 'em I do.

and

I battered the cakes out of caring for others! Do you REALLY need a family sized New York cheesecake?!!

there was nearly an incident in Waitrose tho pm when a lady in a fur coat and her DH (obv childless) wouldn't move for me twice when I was rushing to get the shopping done and collect DS1 from Beavers. I nearly said 'excuse me' in a more than usually terse manner.........

Yes, yes I do need a family-sized New York cheesecake. I didn't until you mentioned it but I do now.

Phew! Glad to hear that JackieandJudy. It made my stomach flip when I read "she punched me in the stomach". Can't believe someone would do that especially someone with a child of their own. But then I guess she was hitting him too so who knows :(

Hello to my old comrades-in-stripey-polyester (at Safeway) - Amandine and Gsy . Were you there when we had to wear Can I lighten your load badges? Yep, CAN. Not May. Imagine the filth you'd hear wearing such a fine legend?

And my days with the reducing trolley weren't all hell. I also got to lord it over my own special 3x1m cubby hole, called "Spoilage and Distress". Where all the grot and broken stuff would be taken to be mended/reduced, or written off.

I can tell you that the very worst smell in the worst is magotty cheap Safeway SAvers catfood that has been in the sun too long. And No one can beat me at the how high can you make fizzy drinks splurt when you add mentos or bio washing powder to them game. No one.

Here in Australia, one checkout is situated next to the fag area, so the cashier can double task.
People randomly walk up to the other counter to buy fags, so cashier abandons her checkout post to serve the people desperate for a cigarette, leaving the checkout queue to wait.

We had been in the queue a while, and emptied our huge trolley. Girl looked at us, our huge stash, and then just went off to serve people at the fag counter. Normally they say ' just going off to serve. Hope that's OK'. She just turned away and served people as they walked up.

After 10 mins standing like a lemon, I just said ' OK we don't need to wait any longer'...and walked off leaving my trolley contents on the conveyor belt. She quickly tried to break away from the deep meaningful conversation she was having at the fag counter and called after us 'you can't leave your shopping there'.

We could and we did. Sorry to people behind us, but the kids they have working in the evenings often have no interest.
Interestingly that has never happened again.

Morrisons fucking bitch deliberatly slammed into my bind child and told him to watch where hw was going.

If I ever see that.thing again...

I think if I hadn't been so new-baby hormonal I'd've had a scrap with the woman in morrisons fishing to find out if DH had been 14(!) When we had DD and were we on benefits etc.

I couldn't believe the bloody cheek!

bups I am crying at 'fuck off, chunk' and a multipack is good if you sharted on the way to shop!

Not supermarkets but-
When I was pg I was in Ikea, was near the tills looking at christmas decorations, put some in my trolley and some older lady took them out of it and showed her friend. I walked over and snatched them off of her and said 'get your own fucking reindeers' Was hormonal and tired, at the time angry but afterwards wanted the ground to swallow me up.

I had just moved to Wales with my job and found a Primark-before they had appeared everywhere, I wandered around in my lunch and they wheeled out two rails of coats, two women with strollers started full on scrapping over a coat, both had bloody noses and the police were called and I stood there open mouthed!

haha sorry but you can tell when it's getting late by the number of posts that start looking a mess because of booze or tiredness!

Went to Waitrose with ds who was potty training at the time. He announces he needs the toilet, so the plan was to take him to the toilets to use his travel potty (no way would he have used a toilet). DS refuses to go into the toilets, demands to use the potty in the corridor (outside of toilets). So sit him on the potty, woman walks past on her way to toilets and says "Really! How vile! Can't he go to the toilet like everyone else?" pointing at us with her fucking walking stick.

DS then gets up from potty and refuses to try and whatever he wanted to do, poo or wee, I dunno, I was just pleased he asked to use the potty.

I hunt woman down and find her at fruit and veg, where she is barking at her husband to pick the ripe plums. "DO YOU REALISE HOW LONG IT HAS TAKEN ME TO GET THIS CHILD TO SIT ON A POTTY?" I say. She tuts and mutters, sticking to her guns, while her husband is looking apologetically from behind her. I then vent months of potty training frustration at her, accusing her of "RUINING EVERYTHING" and that if DS wets or shits himself it'll be all her fault etc. I even accused her of being a typical Waitrose snob and how I wouldn't get this sort of treatment in Asda.

I would like to be bup's real life friend...

Do you watch Trollied? My DH thinks I'm joking when I tell him It's a docusoap.

Yes, I remember Lighten the load, also remember the days of Shop & Go, I hated being on the bloody rescan till.
" Madam," you thieving stuck-up cow (it was always the ones who could afford it) "your rescan is £120, your scan was £75, are you sure it's just the bogroll you forgot to do. "

Oh, and in response to the question earlier, no it wasn't a euphuism, I did squeeze their actual bananas, the bruising doesn't show up until later, so if any of you always seem to have bruised bananas maybe it's because you're a mardy cow to the checkout operator. .

For some reason 'just leave it Don' made me howl!

I was once standing at the cold shelf in Sainsbury's browsing through the reduced camenbert when an Asian woman wearing a headscarf and a surly expression aggressively shoulder barged another customer next to me. The affronted customer looked aghast and shouted "did you SEE that?" at me. I shook my head in disgust and did the solidarity eye roll with her. Then she said in a loud yet confiding voice, like we were friends. "They just come over here and think they can get away with murder, bloody Pakis." I instantly backed away as the barging lady whirled around with a screech and came back for another assault. I didn't stick around in case the aggressive barger thought I was an angry racist too.

I laughed at 'leave it, Don' as well.

How the bloody hell has buppy got away with her cake GBH when I was told off for denting tins of chappie?

I really want to organise a Midlands meet up just so I can sneak out of the pub with buppy and go for a bit of therapeutic gateau assault in the local tesco express.

Ooohh, oooh, I've been waiting to tell someone about this as I've been fuming.

I was in Aldi on Sunday and it was really busy. You had to be patient to go down some aisles and wait your turn, which most people were doing.

The area I was in has a large population of Muslim immigrants, most of whom are Somali. I was behind one of them, a man, and we were both attempting to go down an aisle. A big angry looking man was coming the opposite way and said extremely rudely to the Somalian man, "Really?! MOVE!" The Somalian guy tried but couldn't as I was standing there and bumped into my cart. He smiled at me and I asked if he was okay.

The angry guy said "get the fuck out of my way!" And shoved past both of us, muttering something about people who didn't speak English. I wheeled around and gave him my best "oh-you-utter-CUNT" stink eye.

He turned to me, kind of threatingly, and I was ready to let fly with my "this is America" speech, the long and short of which is, unless you are 100% Native American, you just keep your fucking mouth shut about immigrants. But his wife hustled him away asking him what his problem was.

Am also pmsl at "just leave it Don!"

Brilliant thread.

Has made my inability to sleep worthwile. Nothing to sdd though, don't think I've ever had a fight in a supermarket though. Feel so sad about that.

Freakoid I am so sorry. I hope life is better for you now.

The one time I genuinely lost it, like I-think-they-were-on-the-verge-of-calling-the-police lost it, was when I was finishing up at a cash machine and someone said "Are you done with that machine?" - so I sped up and was done - adding a "Some of us have jobs!" under her breath as I left.

I turned round and screamed "I'VE GOT A FUCKING JOB, YOU FUCKING MORON!!" as loud as I could. Then I went home and had a good cry. I was under a lot of stress at work and looked a bit rough at the time.

getorf s story is the worst. No one will ever understand what we went through in glos in "the floods" it was like the zombie apocalypse but without the zombies.

A old man member if staff once accused my 14 yr old son of stealing biscuits. He was off school recovering from tonsillitis and had gone to choose some biscuits for me.
I tore the guy a new arsehole but he didn't back down and said he looked suspicious.
It was at that moment I realised what a hard time young lad get from the public.

So much better thank you hecate

TBF it was one of the things that made me realise I did need to get a life and get the courage to leave him but at the time I just felt humiliated.

"I would like to be bup's real life friend... "

You wouldn't. I got told on another thread that I am "utterly poisonous" and have no friends.

"Fuck off, chunk"

"muzzle"

'Cake assault'

Actually,she probably has a point.

Oh Oh Getorf let's do it. Let's do it in WAITROSE. They don't have security guards in there! I must admit, I did used to feel a little frisson when cake battering,in case the security men saw me.

I also LOLed at "Leave it Don"
