Tomatoes locked in a locker.

Legs.Eleven

So about a month ago just before Easter, I bought a bag of tomatoes (about 6) from a local fruit and veg shop then went to the supermarket to get some stuff. I put the tomatoes in one of those little lockers they provide where you stick your Euro in and lock it up while you go shopping as they´re quite strict about bringing bags into that particular supermarket.


That was about a month ago and I´m just back from getting a few things and noticed as I was using one of the lockers again that the bag of tomatoes are still there!! The locker has a clear perspex door so you can see into the locker and there they were rotting away looking all flat and disintegrated! I completely forgot about them!

The security guards stand right beside the lockers, so if I open the locker (I found the key in my handbag), there´s going to be a massive stink (weather is warm here atm) and possibly an infestation of flies when I open it and I´m going to look like the crazy foreign woman (this is not in Ireland) who carries mouldy tomatoes around with her and I´ll be known as such whenever I shop there, which is almost daily.

If I leave them there, no one can use the locker again and worse still, it might explode from ethylene gas overload and I´ll be responsible!!


What should I do, AH?

Do the right thing.

Sir Arthur Daley

Burn down the supermarket.

Give the key to the security guard. Say you found it on the floor.

If you water them a tomato tree might grow.

That's actually genius. Make sure you're filming it for Youtube evidence.

What if I go back and they see I´m the woman who miraculousy "found" the key a month after it went missing and put 2 and 2 together?

True. Good point. I´m glad someone is giving this issue the seriousness it deserves.

Just put the key back in the lock, take back your Euro coin, leave the tomatoes and then leave the shop.

sorted!

Ryan brought up a good point about the tomatoes though. Someone will have to clean up the slop.


The security guards would definitely see me open it anyway. They´re right there.

Sounds like a well known paradoxically case of schrodinger's tomatoes.

I'll send an s.o.s. to the world
I hope that someone finds the
Tomatoes in a locker

Buy some cleaning product and go to leave it in the lockers as you enter the store. Swipe the tomato-goop into a bag while placing cleaning stuff in. 'Accidentally' spill cleaning product everywhere and clean that and the molten rotted tomatoey smell and goo with it.

catallus

There's only one thing for it OP. You have to leave the country and return home, your only solace being that you will have about three seconds of every day after you awake from your sleep when you can't remember your heinous crime before the renewed memory of it hits you, like a kick to the stomach, and you can feel guilty about it until the day you reach the well-deserved release of death!

Then the security guard looks back through CCTV to see who used the locker in the first place...

They'll think you're a bit of a nutter. A few tomatoes short of a salad one might say. (see what I d.. )



Just do nothing. It's the easiest way out of this (and many of life's other difficulties).

The lady kind, if it is a place with security guarding crappy lockers it ain't gonna be Vegas now is it.

Post the key to the shop anonymously, with an explaination and appology.

You may well have fermented the tomatoes enough to make tomato wine, and if these lockers are in supermarkets all over Spain, you have a free vineyard. (You can thank me with a Grand Cru for Christmas. )

Perhaps pretend I did it on purpose as a big thank you for their fantastic customer service and invite the guards and staff over to the locker for tomato wine-fueled soiree?

Oryx

Okay... pull the 'irate customer' trick.

"Mr Security Guard! I just went to place my bag in an empty unused locker and when I opened it I was presented with this! I demand to be compensated for stress!" And so on faking your best rage.

You will be forever marked as crazy angry beeatch but you won't be crazy tomato beeatch.

catallus

The security hatch is a practical vacuum. The tomatoes will have disintegrated in the heat alright, but your fears about noxious gas or bugs are unfounded. The store management are probably only too well aware of you at this stage, having viewed the internal CCTV and they are all only acting naturally until you attempt to retrieve your contraband and then they'll pounce. You're finished, OP, just give up, head for the hills.

Red Nissan

Lesson from this thread is to shop elsewhere.

And anyplace with a clamp or tow away BOYCOTT.

You could leave them for another 25 years and by that stage they will have evolved into something that could easily get elected to Dail Eireann, climb Croagh Patrick, and enjoy cycling.

This reminds me of a teacher I had. She used to tell us that other certain teachers stinked. She used to make us put our gym bags in the hall as "they stinked up her room". So one year everyone for two weeks put their sandwiches and fruit in a few lockers beside her room. When the school opened 3 months later after the summer and around her room was rotten
