    You don't seem to have got the use of question marks sorted out, do you? You don't add them after statements. You might find this helpful.

    The question marks indicates that I am uncertain about my statements.

    Thanks for bringing it up. As usual you've posted a very important contribution to a discussion :)

    It's almost certainly a work of complete fiction by a poster who pops up every now and again with a brand new account and some more or less absurd story relating to Tesco.

    Previous versions have included such gems as "Tesco to charge 50p for an itemised receipt" and "someone stole my trolly from the trolly store and Tesco won't refund me".

    Unfortunately, there are always posters who take the bait and we have a some slightly surreal thread hanging around for a couple of days.

    I've been here too long when I remember both of those threads....

    Ditto.

    There was another one about a magnet dropping out of his pocket when stopped by security guard.

    Was there not also one about a guy who just happened to have powerful magnet in his pocket/his wife being caught nicking stuff?

    Also was there another about clothes hanging from the trolley not being put on conveyor to be scanned and when stopped (and barred?) saying it was an honest mistake?

  • Amazing thread, would read again. 5 stars.
  • I remember a 'warning' one about a peg on the outside of a public toilet door.. Op was suggesting people don't hang their bags on it when they have a wee in case they get nicked... I love it here.

    The fact that the threads are always about Tescos suggests that they are a disgruntled ex-employee?

    Different troll I think, this is the guy who lets it go on for a couple of pages and then suggests that Tesco is staffed entirely by Asians and he's being discriminated against for being white.

    IIRC :)
