Reminds me of a story I am sure I have posted before:
This letter was actually sent by Tesco's Head Office to a customer in Oxford:
Dear Mrs. Murray, 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 Calor gas 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.'

Now I feel really really dumb!!
I do pretty much ALL of the food shopping in our (wife
and self) family, and all of the wine and liquor shopping
as well.
(Well being as old as we are, we don't do a whole
lot of non-food shopping these days. I wear jeans
older than your cat.)
But I have to say, lately food shopping ain't as much fun
as it used to be. Many prices have gone ballistic, especially
in the meat department.

I am less than partial to routine shopping - partly because they always seem to be out of what I want.
I think I have commented before about not finding what i really want. I wanted a hat with a low crown and a wide brim - had to go to USA to get one.
Got the image on FB but not on this machine so not sure I can upload

I think it's a very sharp-looking hat! And having worked in gent's wear, I'm sure you know what looks good on you and what doesn't.
