Had a power cut yesterday evening so I went and sat outside a neighbour asked if I'd like to come to T's with her (I had had a few voddies so couldn't drive) When we got there a lad was bringing out a massive tray with meat in (around 40 packs) this "lady" that had been blocking the whoopsie fridge pounced on him grabbed the tray and tipped it into her trolley :eek:
He had the reducing machine and was doing the stuff that was on the shelves, the same woman positioned herself next to the lad and snatched everything out of his hand as he reduced it, the lad moved her trolley out of his way so a few others could get to the cabinet, remember I said I'd had a few vodkas? Wellllllllll in super stealth mode I wriggled pass the "lady" wheeled her trolley to behind the newspaper stand, took out 6 packs for me 6 packs for my neighbour and left the rest of the trolley by the entrance for others to enjoy :D:D

I've seen some sights at whoopsie time and i do get really frustrated at people that don't share the spoils but I can't condone this behaviour. Not long ago I saw someone else on here who was so angered at someone taking a lot of whoopsies that they punctured and hid a yoghurt carton in that persons trolley in the hope it would make a mess :eek::eek:

Just because you and I choose not to take all whoopsies for ourselves doesn't mean we should punish someone with a less sharing attitude

You have no idea of her circumstances and no right to take something out of her trolley. She on the other hand has every right to put in her trolley whatever she wants and if she wants to buy all of the whoopsies it's not your place to stop her from doing so. It's the SAs

I've seen SAs take things out of someones trolley and back on the shelf saying "you cant take it from my cage/out of my hands. You can only take it when it is on the shelf". I've also seen them sticker something and then deliberately put it out of reach of such people or pass it over their heads. It sounds to me like you should have a word with the SA or CS more than you should be taking out of a fellow shoppers trolley

thanks i try not to but as I am the youngest somtimes its hard as i struggle to say no to anyone

If anyone took any notice of the M & S beer deal I posted the other day, think the description online was wrong instead of 2 cases of 20 arriving I have had 2 cases of 6. I thought it was a very good deal for £29.96 a case as they were 750ml bottles not your usual 500ml.

It was the Greenwich Red Ale, and M & S have been good and refunded me for the bottles I have not received, although they did only offer me half refund first and I said but I have only received just over a quarter of what I was expecting.

Looks like Mr Tinyshoes will have to savour this one, I think I must have got a very expensive beer very cheap.

I didn't need too, I dealt with it in my own way

Sad you felt the need to "rant" though

Tinyshoes

I'm glad I didn't put the beer deal on Grabbit now, I am sorry for anyone here that has ordered it and do not get what they were expecting, I do hope they get the same result as me.
