To have complained to the shop about this?

[Lackland]

I was shopping at our local supermarket today and was looking at stuff in the beauty/ hair/ chemist aisle.
I was most embarrassed to note that they had placed the durex on the shelf above the face creams.
What if someone had noticed me looking?
I would be mortified if it became gossip in the village.
No one should ever know I buy face cream for the over fifties.

I once bought nappies and pg test at the same time. The lady serving sighed and said " never mind". Cheeky mare.

Year ago I bought cigarettes and throat lozenges together. I got a face.

I once had an issue at the self-service check-out in Tescos. The woman came over to help me figure out what hadn't scanned. I was buying a bottle of vodka, condoms (had baby dd with me), a Spider-man birthday cake and rubber gloves. Got know what she thought I had planned. She then proceeded to ask me for ID. I think she enjoyed my embarrassment far too much.

I once asked the woman on the Superdrug pharmacy counter for a tube of Canesten. She leaned forward and enquired in a loud stage whisper, 'Is it for thrush?' I said no (it was for a fungal rash on my back caused by my rucksack).

She then cupped her own enormous bosoms and jiggled them up and down, smiling and nodding enquiringly, attracting great interest from the bloke next to me. No way would I get intertrigo under my minuscule tits, but I just nodded vigorously back so she'd hand the bloody stuff over and not involve me in any more Michel Marceau antics.

Not long after I had to get some anusol for DH. I mentioned at least three times it was FOR MY HUSBAND.

I once put tampons, ibuprofen, vodka, a massive galaxy chocolate bar and a sharing packet of tayto cheese and onion on the conveyor belt and announced to the cashier "you can guess what sort of mood i'm in". Mutual laughter ensued.

There's a 24 hour Costcutter very near where I live. Very dangerous when the drunken munchies come on (on the way home from the pub). I have in the past gone in to buy just chocolate and ready to eat frankfurters.

[Lackland]

Oh Single, Tayto!

Plain Tayto! That tastes of cheese and onion.

Once popped into Morrisons on the way home from work for the few things I'd forgot ton in main shop. Got to the till and realised wine, paracetamol and razor blades might look slightly worrying, but cashier didn't seem to notice.

Bought a pregnancy test along with my pill prescription. Lad at the till was blasé, I was squirming with shame.

[HicDraconis]

I was on the checkouts when a man came through with a large box of condoms, a bottle of wine and 3 cans of squirty cream. I served him with a polite smile and laughed my socks off later with friends in the pub

I used to work in a corner shop situated quite close to a gentlemens' hostel.

The hostel occupants were generally older men and came into the shop regularly to buy Carlsberg Special Brew, cheap sherry and cigarettes.

One day, a man bought a pair of tights, then another day he came back and bought 2 pots of Vaseline and 2 courgettes!!

BadgersNadgers that will probably be gossip in Penicuik for the next 3 years. There's not a lot goes on there.

I once went into Sainsburys with a massive pregnancy bump, holding my 2 year old by the hand and bought cough medicine, tena lady, a packet of tissues and a bag of doughnuts. The lady laughed (kindly) and I burst into tears!
