Putting items in your calico bag before you've paid for them?

Seems like he thought he was being helped rather than reprimanded. Don't you just hate it when that happens?

Yesterday the Co-op rang on my door bell and gave me a Co-op branded Calico bag and some Basmati rice!

I bet he's ok with it.

Hilarious thread!

I once spotted someone putting loads of M&S meals into a rucksack at the big Victoria Station M&S. It looked a bit furtive, so I told a security guard and left it to them to do whatever they wanted. They watched the person and, as far as I?m aware (I didn?t see any kerfufel but didn?t hang around to watch), the person just went and paid.

You see, the thing is, while it may be a bit weird to use a bag instead of a shop basket or trolley, if you don?t leave the shop without paying then *whispers* you haven?t committed a crime.

Well done to the OP for making me chuckle though! Batman would be proud of you!

I saw someone across the room in Canary Wharf Nando's swipe one of the large sauce bottles into his bag. (long before you could actually buy them). It was so cheeky and he probably got away with it.

Cripes. Give us a puff on that what you've got there.

Is it a bot?

Could be, very weird if not!
