grazing - as in one or two, fine. Eating whole packs of cherries and leaving the packaging behind - stealing.

bouncie_kiwi

*sigh* Clicky: http://www.devon-cornwall.police.uk/v3/crime/business/theft.html And...it's a well known fact if a person leaves a store - must be past the point of payment - without paying for something, it is stealing. The fact that the product is swirling around in their stomach rather than hidden...

Right - SERIOUSLY - WHAT IS THE NEED!!!!! - in SQUEEZING the freakin rolls???? They are ALL baked at the SAME temperature for the SAME amount of time in the SAME oven. WHY do people INSIST ON SQUEEZING THEM?????? GET THIS INTO YOUR HEAD: THEY ARE ALL THE SAME!!!!! And WHY must people put rolls into ...

We do indeed stock spreadable spam - right beside the jam scarily enough. Very popular with the "chuptpurk crew " That stuff should come with a public health warning on it. And a "if you feed this to your child you should be done for child abuse" warning also. Another thing, please do not grumble an...

wow, excellent capture wangi

My god...this is the sad sad reality we are facing nowadays. And it is getting worse. Bad body images are appearing younger and younger, and STILL people hold up skeletons as their "ideal". It's not even just fashion though is it? It is EVERYWHERE. "ooh i hate my big bum big bums mean excess means g...

Are they talking US or UK sizes?? Even if UK sizes, I was an 8/10 when I was 7 stone: nowhere near size 6 no matter what the cut or the brand. They are talking US sizes - a US 0 is a UK 4...im guessing a 00 would then be a UK 2, in which even if you were 4 stone you would still not fit into a 00 un...

Yeah i seen that one, it only seems to go on about the Inpatient programme unfortunately, i still can't find any information on the Day Programme though.

bouncie_kiwi

The YPU run a "day programme" which combines schoolwork (people come in to teach classes) with other things like art therapy and other things (im talking a good 5-6 years ago now, although i am sure it hasn't changed a huge amount) there were around 20-25 kids there all aged from 12ish to 17/18 - ot...

it is all part of the masterplan to make the nation obese. even your starbucks are at it - the looks from the staff in that place when i ordered a black coffee the other day ( "you mean NO cream?? and NO milk?? or NO sugar??" (erm, no thank you) "JUST BLACK???" (yes please) *insert bewildered disgus...

bouncie_kiwi

the less people who read this the better, although Izzy i hope this may be of some help to you. The YPU (i am sure you may have already heard of this) have a "day centre" - it is a lot more intensive than outpatients but not as restrictive as IP, AND they give loads of help with schoolwork etc. have...

bouncie_kiwi

eugh, i see they made ANOTHER "documentary" on the "size 0" business, this time it was 2 journalists trying to get to a DOUBLE 0 (uk - size 2, the size of a 6 year old) One girl ended up almost bulimic, the other managed to squeeze herself into an extremely stretchy pair of size 2 jeans (although he...

Isn't that a bit like a expecting scotmid checkout staff to be trained to give dietary advice to a one-off customer who only popped in for a gazebo? hehe i suppose it is - they may want to eat the gazebo along with their "chup pork", lol, i'm not saying they "should" be trained - it is merely the f...

bouncie_kiwi

i think to comment on statistics, you would have to run a series of relevance tests - download SPSS then perform a few chi-squared, paired sample t-tests and non-parametric tests on the original result numbers, comparisons etc then comment on the "difference in actual waiting times" oh, and remember...

im not much of a photographer lol, just got snap-happy the other week there.... i thought this doggy was gorgeous so when i seen him run i just had to snap, if he belongs to any of you and you are offended in any way, just ask and i will remove it :) http://aycu30.webshots.com/image/14549/2001939468...

well after a combination of portobello and buckfast

i decided to ditch the scotmid uniform for one night and conform to the typical "El Porte-chav Style!"

bouncie_kiwi

Something to do in your spare time BK :) http://webnews.innocentdrinks.co.uk/_act/link.php?mId=A8273561265910263703&tId=1031326 lol, scotmid doesn't have that many trolleys unfortunately (they don't expect that many customers :lol: ) On the "upside", we now have deliveries of fresh produce on sunda...

Ranting again.... This "think 21" thing is seriously beginning to piss me off. Please people - if i ask you for ID, and you are 22, do NOT make assumptions of my mental capacity - especially when you have absolutely NO evidence to back up your ridiculous clams. Scenario: A female, appearing around 2...

bouncie_kiwi

Yeah one that doesn't attract NEDS, and also won't serve huge tables of (really) underage people, then kick out two people who LOOK underage but actually aren't :evil: especially when the big table were causing more noise than me and my friend sitting quietly in the corner discussing free radicals. ...

bouncie_kiwi

and a year later.... its looks as though utopia is closing :D me and my friend got barred from there, because apparently we were "underage" (she forgot her ID - they did not ask us for ID until we had already consumed 5 vodkas each) Funny thing is, we are 20 & 21, there was a table of chavs on the o...

bouncie_kiwi

Possibly a rumour - but i have heard from various sources that someone was "stabbed" at the funfair on the first night?!

bouncie_kiwi

I'm also going to start trying to take digital time coded photos of the participants if this happens again so we build up a record of the regulars. Does anyone know the legality of this? It may be an urban myth, but I heard of a chap in the Hamilton Drive area who was warned by Police, after he pho...

That is so sad :cry: little girls aren't born hating their bodies...we (society) decide to teach them. A 13 year old should not even be considering the fact she may have a pot belly :S I'm all for healthy eating being taught to kids blah blah, that line between "teaching healthy eating" and "making ...

Funny thing is - the deli food had just as much preservatives in it as the other prepackaged food

I liked to read the packaging. It was also ALL reformed - apart from the 'ham on the bone' which alas - was stuffed full of...preservatives!

bouncie_kiwi

Hehe no im not from NZ!? born in leith actually (how fun) ill make a mental note about the tatties, and try to remember to 'fix' this problem myself, rather than asking someone else to do it...who in turn would ask someone else, who would consequently ask...you got it, someone else, and the whole "a...

I make no apologies for what I am about to say. I am sick of looking at the likes of Victoria Beckham every day. I have tried to avoid it, but it is not possible. It seems as if she just needs to break a nail (or dye her hair) and the press are on top of it in a minute :( As a man I do not find thi...

I am proud to say I have a big sturdy 'bag for life' that I got from Sainsbury's (a REAL supermarket) and I always take it with me on my journeys to Scotmid to replenish my stocks of oatcakes, cheese and beer. Ok Mr. Nimmo - get off your high horse :roll: I suspect that the current offer of bag pac...

bouncie_kiwi

The bag packing 'service': this is a somewhat complex matter as it seems. A lot of unsaid opinions on this.... However, this does NOT relect the views of Scotmid - but personally, i find that the following situations can arise: (1) Cashier begins to pack bags --> Customer then decides to stand with ...

bouncie_kiwi

Hmm did you not realise the management team purposely spread the bread all over the shelf on purpose!? Apparently Scotmid is not 'allowed' to employ anymore staff. For the forseeable future. Not good, considering the rate of turnover in SM. The tills have been wreaking havoc also. Its all part of th...

bouncie_kiwi

well the orders are supposed to generate themselves for the ambient section, all products have different 'minimum numbers' for example the easy cook rice has (i think) a minumum number of 6. that means when a certain number of these packets are sold, the system (connected to the tills, obviously) re...

hmm...well i was just meaning like for to be able to play the radio or something like that. something to make the place less....silent?

oh and in response to the fairtrade comment - the reason the big stores dont support fairtrade is because its a lot more expensive to buy in and the profit margin is pretty much negligible. and we wouldnt want to have to pay more at asdas just because theyre losing money on the fairtrade products wo...

the shelves do get stocked, and faced up every night by our nightshift. its just the old snarfers who insist on ruffling all the stock about on the shelves, taking things off, returning them to the wrong places, dumping things wherever their lazy minds tell them to. because of this forum people seem...

some ned tried to steal 12 bottles of bells whisky - in big LIDL carrier bags then wander out the shop with them - after clearly being watched by a random check-out operator. 3 of the lads went after him and he attempted to break into a run - yes RUN with 12 litres of glass bottled whisky banging of...
