making assumptions based on shopping on belt in front of you

[Deleted User]

so, there was a guy infront of me today in the dunnes grocery dept.

he had the usual boy toilet things, linx shower gel, deodarant, and shave gel.
he then had parmessan cheese.
broccoli
spinach
eggs.

i totally made an assumption about him!
he looked in his 30's

not married, sharing with people he doesnt know too well.
but seems to be interested in healthy food.

trying to be healthy but didnt really look like he goes to gym too often!!
( maybe he is only starting!)
am i terrible making assumptions???!!

do u make assumptions based on grocery shopping ahead of you on belt?

It was hot out and they were thirsty?

You absolute bastard. That image will haunt me for the next week.

I don't really understand why people buy processed food. It's muck.

It's cheaper to get a recommended daily calorific intake from processed food than it is from more nutritious healthy food. Also it is less perishable due to preservatives in it so less chance of it spoiling.

Compare the cost of a cheap 1000 calorie frozen pizza to having to get that same 1000 calories from fresh fruit, lean meats, nuts, etc.

Surprised they weren't buying umbongo. I hear they drink it in the Congo.

Oooh the intrigue!

I always feel like I'm being judged if I'm in the queue in front of and behind people doing a proper shop and I'm just buying a bottle of vodka or something

The lad was obviously about to get lucky that night by sprucing himself up and making a delicious quiche for some French hussy

I make the assumption that they will not stop for a friendly chat with the cashier, and then contemplate murder when they do.

It's crap.

My regular shop a couple of days a week is blueberries, a salad mix of some sort not containing spinach or iceberg lettuce, sweet potato, occasionally some wine, and some red peppers.

I'm buying food for my bearded dragon, and intending on having a nice night in

My food is in the freezer/defrosted for me to have along with a nice salad

A lot of people can't cook, they really wouldn't know what to do with fresh food. Others are just too lazy.

Even simple things like a proper lasagne, fish pie , or chicken Kiev have had their true taste and texture destroyed by cheap processed imitations!

4 bottles of whiskey, 7 frozen pizza's, a 12 pack of beer, some fruit, ham, bread, all life's essentials. The thing that p's me off is when the person working the checkout shows a look of disdain, it's like...My money, my body, mind your own ya nosey pig.

I love standing in the self check out line when 4 out of 6 of the check outs are out of order. And on one of the remaining two, the person needs an operator sign on to void off a transaction but there's no employee in sight. Sheer bliss.

I find those 2L bottles of bleach in lidl and aldi great for clearing the drains, but you do look like a bit of a terrorist if you have more than 2 drains to clear.

Processed food is often cheaper than buying the ingredients. That's why my food bill is so stupidly high, I but high quality proteins and ingredients. If I couldn't afford to cook properly I'd end up having to buy cheap frozen processed foods or live on starches.

That's the point I was making.

I like to invite the assumptions when buying condoms. I do this by always three other random items with them to try to invoke a strange look.

My favourite one so far has been condoms, haribo, nail clippers and some febreeze.

i remember one time few years back when i was living with my ex boyfriend,
we bought two courgettes in the rest of our shopping,

innocent enuf u might think.......

until we got to the checkout when the girl lifted the cougette, looked at the girl on the next checkout and bust out laughing, cue the 2nd girl laughing. and then all the people in her queue looking over and laughing...

who wouldve thought courgettes were that amusing......
