    Do we need a second thread on this in the same part of the forum? Is this not spamming mse?
    YES. You cant rewrite a thread just because you didnt like some of the previous replies.

    I would take the ticket and wipe my backside with it - to save on toilet tissue and enjoy the free parking with no chance of paying anything.

    I wouldn't, the self carboning ink often comes off.

    I'd just ignore it in the same way that you would ignore all ppc tickets.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    The ticket guy round here at Morrisons apparently got beaten up in the local pub by the Grandson of one of the victims. So the urban myth says...

    If true then the grandson of one of the victims is a vile cretin who should be locked up. Violence is never the answer.

    10 minutes looking for a £1 for the trolley, 15 minutes scrutinising the fruit and veg whilst throwing down and brusing all the ones you aren't happy with, 30 minute conversation with someone you haven't seen for ages whilst blocking the entire aisle off from everyone else, 45 minutes actual shopping and queuing time, 15 minutes to arrange all the items in specific bags at the till before paying, then another 10/15 minutes scrutinising the reciept with occasional visits back to shelves to ensure the price is right, it's easily done..

    My thoughts exactly. Unless he was using the car park to go elsewhere and its come to bite him on the arse.

    Don't get him started as he'll start banging on about the cafe again!

    How can anyone spend that long in a supermarket, jeez when ever i go in morrisons i just want to get what i want and be out asap, the store seems squashed in compared to sainsburys or tesco. Then theres the cafe, not been there for years as whats the point when i can get a drink at home for free or eat food ive bought.
