Eating whilst shopping in supermarkets

For information.

I have received a report asking if the language used above is appropriate. I post this as an answer and not as any kind of criticism.

The following is a quotation from the terms and conditions for the site.

"Please note that this is a social board frequented by people over the age of 18 and as such there may be content unsuitable for minors."

So no, I will not be censoring any thing on the basis of the language used. The exception to this is where such language is used in a personal context or where it pertains to discriminatory statements.

Just FYI.

For the information of others, I posted the Report.

I know that I am old fashionned but take the view that if you cannot express yourself clearly without using the F word then you should consider whether the post really has value.

I will leave the forum but with best wishes to all.
 
Another thing that piss me off! Trying and picking food with bare hands! Once I saw an Old man tasting an olive from the self-service using his fingers! Another one picked a small roll with his bare hands on the bakery section! Use the fucking tongues! Please! By the way, I just shop pastries or bread if I'm the first one on the market!

Using tongues ??? Eewww ... even worser !

I found the behaviour difficult to accept on a number of levels, the monetary loss to the supermarket, the dumping of part eaten food around the supermarket, the idea in the fathers mind that this was acceptable behaviour but, perhaps more than anything else, what sort of an example was he setting for his children - theft is OK, do what you want.

As I said, I havent seen this practice before, the worst I have seen is having bought some food, taken it home and found that someone has removed the lid and stuck their finger in to have a taste.
Some of what goes on happens at night when the night shelf stackers some of who must hate their job will sample the goods they are putting out on the shelves, sticking their finger in the produce is the least of your worries!!! :sick:

Has anybody thought about the handles on the shopping trollys and baskets........I always wipe the handle over with disinfectant wipes before I put my hands on it because I don't think they ever get cleaned, a toilet seat would be cleaner! P.

You're leaving an entire forum because of one F Bomb in the Lounge (i.e off topic area)? Seriously?

I accept that you might not like profanity, but it is vanishingly rare on this forum, compared to, well, anywhere else in the entire world really.

It's a shame that you feel you have to leave, but could you not be a little accepting that not everyone holds themselves to the linguistic standards that you have set for yourself, and that, occasionally, a little Anglo Saxon might be uttered?

Have you refused to pay your License Fee and thrown out your tele? The BBC is the worst offender in the nation when it comes to the 'F word', Vicar. Hang in there with us for a bit longer; you may find that what we lack in lexicon, we make up in generosity, tolerance, and bon homme.

Dirtier than a toilet seat, eh, ... Now I'm getting concerned about exactly what your local shoppers 'drop' in their trolleys, Paul. I just hope they go somewhere private is all ...

I have this horrible scene in my mind where Paul is going from trolley to trolley with a complete forensic suit checking for blood and semen. Why did I ever read this thread?
 
Back to the OP. . . Totally unacceptable on all levels. Same as people visiting supermarkets in their pyjamas. What is wrong with people?

I'd extend that to people going out of the house in pyjamas, I'll put the bins out but anything more than that I'm getting dressed.

I saw a woman walking her dog the other night wearing pyjamas, open dressing gown and Uggs with a bottle of blue WKD in one hand and a fag in the other. Pure class. :sick:

It is a Scouse thing as you probably well know @dave79, and not just in supermarkets.

When I first met my wife to be, her mother used to wear old knickers on her head to hold her hair in.... in public. I just denied knowing her and her me. Probably due to the 'Y fronts' stretched over my head.

Nearly as classy as 'How much are your fucking carrots?'

Now, if only this Glaswegian could be sure you were jesting ... however I did live and work in Liverpool for two years in the 1960s.
