Troughs and tubs
« on: June 10, 2008, 15:57 »
I sometimes use those blue heavy duty plastic tubs that tesco throw out to grow things in.  They have ready made holes in them as well.  When I go shopping they are always filling up the vegetable sections they chuck the blue boxes the veg or whatever it is in a metal cage as they go around, I just get me hand through one of the gaps in the wire sides (big enough for an arm) push box upwards and get box from top.  I don't ask incase they say no.  Put it on my trolly and take it home.  Actually saw someone else with them yesterday.

Can I be a spoilsport and point out that if you get caught in the act, you could be done for theft.
Wouldn't advise taking anything without asking, even if it's been thrown out.

spoilsport  :lol:

Nah I go through the checkout with it in the trolley,with the rest of the shopping, I even put it on the conveyer belt and  they even put some of the shopping in the box as if they seem to think I am using it as a bag.  So they would have to explain to me why they let me go through checkout with it supposedly.

She who dares wins  :D

I admit that I like their small wire baskets, and use em to keep pigeons and rabbits off me brassicas, but I lost my bottle when doing what you describe and going out the store an alarm went off and the security descended. I thought the basket was alarmed but to my embarrasment it was a bra I'd bought that still had the security tag on it. The security man was waving it in the air asking which till operator had forgotten to take it off  :oops:  :lol:

I gave it up as a bad job after that, thinking my luck had run out  8)
