To wonder why Tescos wouldn't sell me a carrot?

[Pumpkinisland89]

To be clear: it wasn't a big deal, I just shrugged and (bravely) survived.

I tried to buy a carrot. It came from a loose produce shelf. Last one which I thought was a bit odd. I didn't bother weighing it myself because there was a queue at the scales. Went to pay expecting the cashier to weigh it. She moaned a bit about me not putting a label on it and moaned even more when I said I didn't need a bag for it. She was obviously new as she didn't know how to put it through the till so she called a manager over. The manager said something I didn't hear and went off to the veg section. He came back and said because there wasn't a label on the carrot shelf he couldn't sell me it?

I've had it before when a shop has refused to sell me a cucumber because it was prepacked but the label had come off. I sort of see why with that (although it's stupid) but why with a lose carrot?

By the way I am over 18 and have no previous veg related offences.

@xmasintintagel thats what leads to all this suggestively shaped vegetables you used to see on 'thats life'.

If you want suggestively shaped vegetables then you need to buy the current issue of BBC Good Food.

This feels like the perfect thread to share a pic of a carrot which was in my "perfectly imperfect" batch from yesterday's lunch.

I love the pic of the one with legs and a tiny penis

[flightchecker]

Didn't bloody work. Stand by.

I didn't mean to imply that I actively seek out misshapen vegetables...tho I suppose I may take it up... it could be an unusual hobby, when I need something to talk about at a party

Finally. I think my iPad was trying to censor me.

[Tomorrowillbeachicken]

Still can’t see the explicit carrot.... we’ll theres a sentence I never thought I’d write!

[flightchecker]

It's a picture I thought I'd never have cause to post. I only took a pic to send to Dp because I am absolutely that childish.

I can see it on the app now.

l always buy single carrots at Tesco because they're for my rabbits and they're only allowed a small amount. Never had a problem. l think it depends on the store.

[daisychain01]

I think I'll try to buy a couple of loose kalettes tomorrow, just for the hell of it.

I'll probably get thrown out for my intransigence.

[XmasInTintagel]

flightchecker I CAN'T SEE YOUR NAUGHTY CARROT!! Please remedy the situation, asap.

[JBH316]

I'm more annoyed by the person who left a solitary carrot. I bet they leave a dribble of milk in the carton too

[FredAstairesUnderwear]

I just keep refreshing to see the naughty carrot and I still can’t see it!!

[storminabuttercup]

Wait a min... those saying that you can't buy a single banana? Is that true?

I don't know why I'm so bothered I don't even like the bendy yellow chuffers

[Tomorrowillbeachicken]

Surely there are merits to a solo banana

[GUMBYMUMBY]

I would have picked it up and munched it. Because then it was a free carrot.

[gemgemgemgemgem]

I feel like people are going to test this out now and go try to buy one carrot 🥕 how odd they wouldn’t sell it!

[flightchecker]

I'm sorry! I don't know why it won't show - can anyone else see it? I fear it will only be a disappointment after this build up.

[gemgemgemgemgem]

I bought a single banana today in Waitrose

[flightchecker]

Good god, that potato!

[Gabilan]

I cannot see the carrot. It's the emperor's carrot.

[missymousey]

Now I have a mission for this evening: off to buy one carrot

You definitely CAN buy single carrots and bananas.
I know this as I work for Tesco.
On out tills there’s a butting for fruit, one for veg , one for potatoes etc etc
All she or he would have to do is put the item on the scanning bit (as that weighs is) and press the button for carrots and it would weigh and charge you for a single carrot.
We have people buy much stranger things than singular carrots, believe me.
