I Got So Fed Up With The High Prices, I Abandoned My Shopping Trolley

by sheltron on 1 March 2010

This one time I got so fed up with the high prices in the neighbourhood supermarket (Woolworths), that I abandoned my half-full shopping trolley in the middle of an isle and drove 10km to the nearest Pak ‘n’ Save instead.

I ended up saving about $15, but spent $4 extra in petrol and 25 minutes commuting.

But I just hate being ripped off, no matter what the cost.

I wonder how long it took for the Woolworths staff to decide that the trolley was abandoned and I wasn’t coming back?

Maybe they checked all the freezers just in case it belonged to an old lady who had fallen into one and couldn’t get out?

It was some poor sales assistant that had to deal with it. You would’nt have affected anyone that matters at all. Just the poor assistant who gets screwed by the company worse than the customers.

Maybe it gave them a welcome change from flattening cardboard boxes out the back?

All that food would have had to have been thrown away and the waste would contribute towards even higher food prices.
