Bored in Tesco

Proof  of what can happen if a wife or girlfriend drags her husband or boyfriend along shopping!

This letter was actually sent by Tesco's Head Office to a  customer in Oxford :

Dear  Mrs. ***********,
Whilst we would like to thank you for  your valued custom and use of the Tesco Loyalty Card, the Manager of our store  in Banbury is considering banning you and your family from shopping with us,  unless your husband stops his  antics.

Below is a list of his actions over  the past few months all verified by our surveillance  cameras:

1.  June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's trolleys  when they weren't looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. July 7: Made a trail of  tomato juice on the floor leading to feminine products aisle.

4. July 19:  Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in  housewares..... and watched what happened.
5. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION  - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

6. September 15: Set up a tent in  the outdoor clothing department and told shoppers he'd invite them in if they  would bring sausages and a Calorgas stove.

7. September 23: When the  Deputy Manager asked if she could help him, he began to cry and asked, 'Why  can't you people just leave me alone?'

8. October 4: Looked right into  the security camera; used it as a mirror, picked his nose, and ate it.

9.  October 10: While appearing to be choosing kitchen knives in the Housewares  aisle asked an assistant if he knew where the antidepressants were.

10.  November 3: Darted around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the Mission  Impossible' theme.

11. November 6: In the kitchenware aisle, practised the  'Madonna look' using different size funnels.

12. November 18: Hid in a  clothing rack and when people browsed, yelled' PICK ME!' 'PICK ME!'

13.  November 21: When an announcement came over the loudspeaker, assumed the foetal position and screamed 'NO! NO! It's those voices again.'

And; last, but  not least:
14. November 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door,  waited a while; then yelled, very loudly, 'There is no toilet paper in  here.'

Some folk just have no sense of humour! :)

Talk soon

Choices!

Alice came to the fork in the road.
“Which road do I take?” she asked.
“Where do you want to go?” responded the Cheshire cat.
“I don’t know,” Alice answered.
“Then,” said the cat, “it doesn't matter.”

Lewis Carroll
Alice in Wonderland

As much as we might feel intimidated by today's 'choices' bear in mind some people don't even get the opportunity. Today might just help us appreciate it - although - choose carefully :)

Talk soon.
