I was in Tesco a couple of days back. This trolley was at the checkout next to mine, so I snapped it up. 21 crates - 20 in the trolley and 1 on the conveyor belt (top-left of photo). That's 252 cans! The cashier happily served them, although wouldn't it been cheaper to have gone through a Cash & Carry or on a booze cruise? As for effort, I give them 2/10 as it was Carling

Sorry sir, you're not allowed to buy things in this shop.

It must have been an 'I dare you to buy 21 crates of Carling' situation.

Why wouldn't it be allowed?

Should have bought a mac mini.

You took photos of somebody elses shopping in Tesco so you could ask an overclocking forum if its allowed?

DcD · 23 Dec 2012 at 18:30

What? Obviously you're allowed to buy a shops stock...

Admit it this was you and you're out for some attention.

It depends on the store policy....many stores (including Tesco) have a limit on how many of a particular offer you can buy in any single transaction....although it is routinely ignored.

People are indeed allowed to exchange their money for goods.

Even if the goods, in this case, happen to be urine scented tap water.

No go to jail don't pass go

We used to do the same years back at Makro so that we wouldn't have to nip out every other day to resupply at the offies or something over the holidays.

Feek · 23 Dec 2012 at 18:34

If it wasn't allowed, they wouldn't have allowed it :rolleyes:

With 1664, Grolsch or Peroni perhaps, but not Carling

This sums it up nicely. Well put sir.

Got friends at Uni who do at least one delivery per term from a supermarket, just of alcohol...

Currently booze cruises to france are only worth it you're after wine (although there will be a huge resurgence if minimum pricing kicks in, as well as homebrewing).

Unless Tesco have a max purchase policy why would there be a problem. Places like Costco do max purchase.

bitslice · 23 Dec 2012 at 18:57

No, that's illegal, the cans are above the level of the trolley,
Health&Safety hazard, a good job nobody was run down by that obviously out of control basket.

Or

Christmas food shop - like a boss, although there should have been a bottle of sherry in there for the ladies.

wimmins, take note.
