Just before Halloween I saw a woman get over £400 worth of food, most of it was Tesco Value Brand or food that was on special offer. She needed two large trolleys and a member of staff to help her get it out.

I've never seen anything like it before, especially as it is a tiny Tescos (I might expect it in a big store).


Today it wasn't too bad actually shopping-wise. Mind you I went to Iceland and some old ladies at the bus stop were talking about how packed Tesco was.

.....maybe they're not just getting those food items for themselves but as donations to the homeless or the poor especially to feed them this holiday season :nod:

I'm going out this afternoon, not looking forward to it.

Well. Actually I don't mind shopping, and crowds don't bother me too much so long as I know what I'm shopping for.

But the boyfriend gets aggravated really easily by busy shopping centres. I might actually have to leave him in the car.

Someone at the checkout spent £172 then started to complain about it, the thing is, I brought a couple of things to the checkout and she didn't let me in before her. Its common courtesy to let someone in with a lot less items in before you

Agreed.

Gotta love when the express lane is no longer "express" because there's 20 people in line.

Or when people ignore the limit on the express lane and get checked anyway.
