AIBU to have laughed out loud in Tesco

After putting the tree up last night I nipped to Tesco to grab a bottle of wine to toast the start of the festive season. Whilst in there I decided to grab something for breakfast…

Then I realised I was walking around with wine and sausages and other customers MUST be thinking “oooh she’s got a good weekend planned with her wine and sausages!” and chortled out loud to myself.

Wanted to explain myself to the cashier but felt the retelling of a mumsnet thread would not be of interest to them at the end of the shift.

Sometimes the best threads just come back to you at the most inopportune moments 😀

I once bought some carrots, courgettes and wine for a bolognese and had the same though. Hmmm

Ummm, no. I would not thing anything of someone buying wine and sausages.

What a strange thread. Confused

If I saw your basket, I wouldn't have thought anything of it.

Cucumber and Vaseline, however...

I have bought things like four bags of Twirl bites, crisps multipack, two bottles of wine and some cans of lager at the Spar.

"Good night planned?" commented the assistant.

Did you not bump in to any neighbours? 😄
(I get your thread!)

There was a regular Friday sainsbury customer who often purchased dextro energy tablets and condoms. I never said a word. But all of the checkout staff kept a tally

Sallystruthers · 01/12/2023 13:59

Thankfully no, I would have had to move! 😉

I once bought a trashy magazine, 2 bars of chocolate, a packet of paracetamol, a box of tampons and a pack of sanitary towels - nothing else. I suddenly got embarrassed at the counter and got all flustered.

Pity the sex ed teachers buying carrots and condoms....

And dh and I buying a shit ton of alcohol for a weekend away with friends (they'd bought the food) and also buying nappies. Booze and nappies, nothing else. How social services weren't informed I'll never know.

My sister saw a man with some wine and some sausages in his basket once and literally said exactly that out loud to him 🤣

slightly tangentially... I always find the need to explain to the cashier "it's not for me" when buying multiple boxes of chocs etc as presents

My friend was buying booze for a party so she just had tonnes of wine, beer and spirits in her trolley. She didn't want the cashier to think she was an alcoholic so she added a lettuce.

I once just had 3 bottles of champagne, a bottle of whiskey, a Christmas cake and some peanuts in my trolley. A very dapper older gentleman asked if he could come home with me!!
