ok so for most of today, this was on my mind off and on so to speak.....



However now I gotta worry about people's fingers in my margarine and sniffing my sour cream before I pay for it and take it home?

Say it isn't so!!!!!

LOL! Why are people sniffing sour cream? To see if it's still sour? Of course it's gone sour, it's SOUR cream!

That margarine thing..nasty!!! Who eats straight margarine?!

I've bought a carton of OJ before and when I brought it home, opened the plastic cap, the little pull tag was gone. Buh bye OJ.

I've bought deodorant that had the plastic cover (you know under the cap) missing too.

I check EVERYTHING now!

After I saw her take the margarine from the container I was texting my friends saying you know what I just saw and she was like gross. And then told her I told the NF lady who worked there cause what if someone bought it, got home and just freaked out. The NF lady told me it happens often at her store.

I once saw a woman hiding behind a pillar in Rexall, furiously eating a big bag of chips. I think that a lot of times there are mental health issues going on. Or maybe extreme poverty. If they are eating food, I leave them alone - nobody in my family knows that kind of hunger and I am very grateful for that.

I am sorry but that last part is BS I can't put my zipper on for that there is NO excuse to steal food none whats so ever.

I have said this before in another thread a while back ago the funniest thing is when a mom wanted me to weigh her childs eaten banana...umm yeah how do I do that?

This whole thread is absolutely disgusting and fascinating at the same time, I can't stop rechecking this thread to see if there's any new comments.

This thread is kinda like the super size me documentary. Reading the stories are gross, and being on sc has opened my eyes to diff new things... I feel sorry for the cashiers and employees that go through this everyday.

Also regarding deodorant, check the body sprays cause sometimes will spray them once or twice and the aisle will smell like it for a while. (I havent done such a thing before, just noticed other guys doing it!)

Sheesh, I can't believe the nerve of people. I titled the post "scammers" cause of the potato chip eater and the folks who were fussing with price tags, I never dreamed there were worse things out there.

Pretty gross. I see people eating things all the time at Wal-mart and then leaving what's left or the empty containers around. Its disgusting. And teaches children bad things. I also hate when people dump off their meat, frozen goods, or dairy anywhere in the store when they decide they don't want it. Don't they know the store has to throw it in the garbage. As they don't know how long it has been sitting out.

And also a reminder to everyone, according to another discussion thread (-either on this site or on another site, can't remember), there are lots scammers targeting gift cards in grocery stores. In the holiday season people buy lots of gift cards for gifting, and the ones got the most scams are the Sears gift cards due to their bad security features. Scammers usually drop down the card numbers and wait in front of the computer for the cards to be purchased (a.k.a. activated), and as soon as they see a credit balance on the card, they'll use it online right away as Sears gift cards only require the card number for online purchases, no PIN is needed.

So if you're buying a Sears gift card in a grocery store anyway, try to get the one in the far back of the pile, don't take the first few ones.

How true it's disgusting.Lots of times there is stuff left in the baskets at the register.Don't they know they if they don't want something they can give it to the cashier and say they no longer want it.They won't be forced to buy something they no longer want.
