People eating food they haven't paid for....

[maddiemookins16mum]

....It just really bugs me. To the point of utter revulsion.
In a supermarket, grown adults opening a pack of 4 pork pies and happily munching their way around the shop, only to toss the empty pack to be scanned as their shopping goes through. Why do people do that, have you ever, and why??? (DD had to wait until the car for her gingerbreadman biscuit from Waitrose).

Typographical error? Haha

Poppy:
I think it's a horrible thing to do. What if everybody did it...?

Obv there would be a hiccup in the space-time continuum. The earth would tip slightly in its axis, there would be decades of darkness, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and the bus drivers would go on strike.

Typographical error? Haha"

The YOUR thang.

poppy

I said that already

poppy

I said that already"

Hmmmmmmmm. Dreadful how predictive text shows you up...!

Has anyone been called entitled yet?

What I like to do is get a bag of grapes that need weighing at the till eat half of them on my way round. Result. Free grapes!

Anyone here actually appear as an extra in The Wire, then?!

poppy

It wasn't predictive text

thats why I said "what dreadful grammar"

Are you alright?

I don't eat pies in Waitrose. Or Tesco. But if I had any way of knowing that poppy or southeast was in the next aisle, I would be on that Ginsters like a vulture, you betcha.

I am pretty sure I'm not a 'chav' (surely I can't be, what wiv my private school edoocation and all)... but maybe I am after all... I guess it's more important not to be a chav than, say, a deeply unpleasant, goady fucker... You learn something every day.

Where do we eat the psychological cod?

Oh yeah, font - 'entitled' was rolled out on about page 1!

The Tesco nest me had started leaving out free fruit for kids to eat on way round. I thought it was a good marketing ploy.

So, the other thing I've learned is that it is actually the act of eating whilst walking around that makes you scum. I think that's right since precisely no one has deigned to explain what it is about the actual location that makes it rank. And I think we've established that if you pay for stuff it's not technically theft, so no need to spontaneously 'boak' over that... Yeah, so we're left with the walking round thing. Amazing.

I am just a bit concerned...

It seems a bit of an over reaction...and posts quoting herself, that was weird

She can think I'm common all she likes

I am mumsnetting while watching series 4 of Being Human. Anyone who can lust after Hal and not make a typo is not human at all in my opinion

This thread is entertaining

Its the thread that keeps giving

I get your point I choose to pay, get my receipt and have what ever it my be usually a drink. It's different in waitrose as the ginger bread men are loose and only about 15p. So I would have a massive problem with that as there is no packaging to scan.

I could not get on with The Wire - all the mumbling...
I still feel I have missed out as I should be entitled to enjoy a highly lauded TV show, surely! Where can I complain?! Humph.

Not free samples though

Now that would be an awesome thread!!
