At the local Tesco the guy reducing stuff has a plastic barrier,to keep the ravening hordes at bay till he's done
they did that for a while here but the staff still got abused so they take it away and bring it hack now.its like a scene from an ethiopian famine where they are fighting over the last rice. they are often acting like savages fighting over reduced crap. literally people running to grab stuff, people pushing and shoving. i know we have some poor people but are there really people starving to death here that need to fight like animals out or desperation? i really suspect not, just people acting like savages because they can.

In a rush, only got 10 minutes before the cigarette kiosk shuts.
They don't pay for legal fags, they all get buckshee ones that have been illegally imported without paying tax. Or like some skank I saw around town picking up all the fag ends to salvage the small amount of tobacco left.

I'm partial to a bit of knockdown bargains but as I go for the fish there's very little competition and plenty of choice.
The local asda puts loads of reduced stuff out in the mornings so often i get meat half price or better then just freeze it. I know its council to shop at asda but its literally next door.

5.45pm at the local Tesco supermegastore, 10 mins before yellow sticker time, and you can smell the regulars waiting for the "bargains" from 3 aisles away. Always the same family, 4 or 5 of them, all reek of BO to the point you don't want to walk past them, and they grab literally everything with a yellow sticker. Doesn't matter what it is, they will stick it in the trolley. Veg, fish, milk, anything. 3 of them act as putrid blockers whilst the rotting matriarch dives in and grabs armfuls.
hahahaha sounds like my local tesco too.When i was an unemployed bum/scum class loser, I used to try and get some reduced bargains to save a bit of money but after getting punched, pushed around and even scratched with nails I gave up. It was women who seemed to do all the assaulting and general violence. not quite sure why.
So I went to sainsburys round the corner instead. Had to spend an extra 10p on reduced stuff but no fighting, no assault and no hordes crowding the reduced section.
First time I saw it like that, it looked like a scene out of some african war film where they fight for the last split bag of rice before all getting gunned down with a machine gun. Except the scummy folk fighting over food don't get gunned down in civilised countries. shame.

Asda is not really that council. A fine selection of decent wines, and best of all a stock of decent fino and manzanilla. Minority interest, certainly, but knocks Waitrose into council touch in that area.I know its council to shop at asda but its literally next door.
Also good for special brew.
