Would you take the bottle of good wine out of the trolley

[Neverendingschoolholidays]

The other day, I went to the supermarket with my young Dd, I had no coins so we went to look for a trolley not connected to the others. There was one and Dd went to grab it, I was just putting her in when she said there was someone’s shopping in it. I looked down and there was a bottle of very good wine left in it, I’m guessing someone had forgotten it 🤷🏻‍♀️
I took her out and we got another trolley and left it there
What would you have done? Left it there, taken the bottle yourself or taken it inside the shop to a member of staff?

I would've handed it in. I would hand anything that was left in. The person who bought the item might not have the money to replace it and therefore go without, plus it's good to be an honest person!

@Funkyslippers - true!

@SeeTheWorldAnotherWay only almost as ridiculous, surely just as ridiculous.

I'm actually with the poster that spice drunk it on the way round the shop, it's so boring otherwise.

*says drink it

Now I feel bad that I didn’t hand it in and am now wondering why I didn’t!
We were in the outside car park, the trolley looked like it had just been discarded, Dd was playing up, I just assumed someone might cone back and get it out of the trolley…I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would return it to the shop

Why would someone lie on an anonymous forum? 🤔

Who knows? They do though.

Do you actually believe all the stuff on here? If so, I have a bridge to sell you!

Life got in the way, it's a bottle of wine, I wouldn't give it another thought.

Id have handed it in to customer services

Years ago when me and dh were skint students, we treated ourselves to a bottle of raspberry flavoured vodka as a celebration. We were very excited about the thought of this, however when we got home, we realised we must have left it in the packing bit or in the trolley (it was a shop where you dont pack at your checkout but on a little shelf) . It was on our receipt but we didnt have the vodka. We walked back to the shop, but noone had handed it in. Can you tell I'm still bitter about our mistake 20 years later?!

So yeah, always hand into staff!

I used to work on a supermarket customer service desk. We'd record all the left behinds in case someone came back for them. I'd have taken it in OP.

If I got home and noticed it was missing I’d most likely curse and write it off. I wouldn’t expect to see it again sadly and I expect many others feel the same.

I once found a bag of shopping on the floor nearby the trolleys! I took it in and handed it to customer services. They checked the bag, it had shopping from their store but also from other places. I do hope the owner came back for it!

Not just me then 🤣

When I find things of value, I tell the shop/restaurant/venue, leave my number and email and ask that they pass it on to anyone who comes in looking for a good bottle of wine. If someone gets in touch knowing it’s a vintage bolly, I’ll happily meet them and hand it over. It happened to me with a really nice piece of jewellery a few years back. I really wanted it to go back to its rightful owner - the manager of the restaurant wanted me to give it to him …

Love it!🤣

Very unlikely if someone were to present with a receipt seeking to see if that very specific bottle of wine had been handed in, no?

Are you always so suspicious?
