  • Evicted from sainsbury's

    True story for yous... whilst out shopping with the Mrs earlier today, I called quickly into sainsburys to see if any of the new cases had arrived but unfortunately there new case was an old one with miles with the microphone (sorry dunno case no &#128553. So looking around I noticed the us clip strips, so as you do I started taking a few shots of what was available. Then i spotted a couple of deluxes so next thing this security guy comes marching into the Isle while I'm on my honkers ready to snap the remaining two, which by the way I had neatly placed on the ground. He says in a Spanish accent "what are you doing " I said what's it look like, I'm looking for cars... he said, the security cctv operations team has been watching what your doing and I'm ere to tell you to either buy or leave. To my defence I tried to be pleasant but he escorted me to the door anyway...

    Seriously that was a true story.

    Wow... what a terrible commitment to customer service, Ru5ty... shame on that Sainsbury's store.

    What they don't realize is that taking pictures may result in increased sales for them - you may not need those Cars but one of your friends may ask you to buy them for them.

      Indeed, I felt as if I'd done something wrong. He's lucky he was a monstrous giant with hi viz...or else lol
      Or the security guys could have been extremely bored and used me to pass the time...or it could have been a recon mission on my part, you know when everyone goes to bed and I scale thru the roof to reap my treasure lol...
      Well ere's what I snapped that offended them so much.

          When I worked at a home improvement store. They'd send us to the competition to check their prices. And we had a few people escorted out. But this was way before cameras in phones. Either way seems like you got the short end of the stick there Ru5ty!

          Oh yeah in 2010 me and a few of the CarsTheToys guys got shooed out of a Vegas Walmart. After investigating a Hotwheels shipper that hadn't been fully opened and displayed yet.
