this is fair enough but also I just do not like it
Iâll be honest, I think this is probably okay if you have the packet to pay for it. I have considered it for my daughter before when she has been very hungry, etc. HOWEVER, this means you canât use self-service due to the weight issues so itâs not something I have actually done.
If cheap sitcoms have taught me anything, itâs that this attitude will only lead to a highly unlikely and convoluted series of events that will end with you not paying for this and/or possibly ending up in trouble with the police.
(Theyâve also taught me that you will miraculously get out of any lasting effects within the allotted 22-30 minutes.)
I donât do it - I saw a woman digging into samosas or something from the deli counter in Sainsburys yesterday - not cool
When the kids were little the ability to crack open a mini box of raisins from a multi pack was an essential tool in getting round the shop with minimal drama though.
Our Tesco provide free pieces of fruit for kids if they want to eat something while they are shopping with parents.
How will it though?
Iâve done this probably at least 100 times in my life time (like I mentioned in the other thread, my mum used to open the bakery cookies every time we would go do the big shop which would be about once a week).
Nothing ever happens. You scan the packet as normal.
The only problem is the self service checkouts. If youâve drank half a drink, it wonât recognize it as the same weight it should be.
If youâre eating things that need to be weighed at the checkout, thatâs theft.
If youâre eating things that have a set price, youâre probably not breaking the law but Iâm still not happy about it.
I think youâve taken a frivolous post about the ridiculous world of world of sitcoms literally, sorry.
Canât believe that people do this. Itâs half an hour walking round a shop. If you need rations to get through that just take a snack youâve already purchased to the shop with you
I remember we had this debate on the old boards. Canât remember the actual outcome, but Iâm sure it was terrible.
Which bit? The bit I already mentioned up there where obviously youâre FUCKED at self-service because of the weight thing? Or the fact you can scan the empty packet, which has been true forever?
What if your train journey falls within a typical lunch/dinner time?
inb4 someone says 'ooh boohooo snowflakes care about me stealing from a giant corporation â
youâre not saying you have a problem with train beers, surely?
Eating on a train is fine, but it depends on the food innit. Anything hot/smelly is out of the question.
It seems like he would like to remove the entire buffet car.
6 hour journey to Scotland? Mate, if you canât do that without drinking or eating youâre worthless to society.
I have literally never seen anything like this in a sitcom. Can I have an example?
Absolutely no problem with a bit of warm crusty French bread or bottle o drink.
Nothing else tho.
The weight thing theo of course. I donât think @xylo thinks the only way you can scan a barcode is if it has the contents in
