Supermarkets as pick-up places

[Gwylan]

Today's debate in the office is whether people actually pull in supermarkets or is it an urban myth that they're, er, meeting places.

Have you ever picked up/been picked up in a supermarket? Or tried to?

 

[zefarelly]

I pick up some food . . .maybe some wine and a few beers when I go to tesco . . . I've even started scoring petrol now

 

[Gwylan]

The silence seems to suggest that the idea of supermarkets as meat markets (apart from the butchery counter) is, as we thought in the office, an urban myth.

Picked up a really nice bird recently.















After defrosting it, we roasted it, put it in a cassarole then had the remainder for sandwiches.

Coat has been collected.

A couple of years ago I popped into Tesco in Cheshunt on a Wednesday evening for a few items. My usual shop would shout out 'family man' but not this collection of items; wine, fruit, meatballs! In the queue in front of me was a , quite attractive, older woman. She looked at my basket and said 'I see you have Swedish meatballs, I am from Sweden, I have salad, salad and meatballs go well together' and gave me an enigmatic look. I, of course, turned into a complete tosser (I would claim that I was being a faithful husband), and hastily grunted some inane comment with eyes averted. She paid and went off, leaving me to pay for my goods whilst being watched by an amused cashier.

Strange, did I read too much into this encounter? It has never been repeated. If it was the tosser would return no doubt.

She may have been practicing her English and making an innocent observation, after all she didn't exactly say "I would like to fill my mouth with your meaty balls" did she, pass it off as a friendly encounter.

 

[London Irish]

The same thing happened to me as with Cheshunt, in my case it was a decrepit Co-op in Romsey. Again it was a slightly older woman in her 50s just one step ahead of me in the checkout queue. She just flat out leered a "Would Sir like some company?" in my direction. My revulsion at this old crone was tempered somewhat by the presence of a wierd-looking but not unattractive daughter, or possibly employee, by her side.

But to be honest, the setting was so incongruous for this kind of stuff, I just smiled my politist English smile and walked straight out of the shop pretending absolutely nothing had happened.

 

[Gwylan]

So, judging by CS and LI's experiences, the only people who might try to pick me up in a supermarket are desperate middle-aged women (although that's pretty much been the case wherever I've been).

It seems that this idea that supermarkets are places to cruise on a Friday night is way off the mark.

Now, about laundrettes ....

ASDAs not too bad for picking up girls.

However Im so ill at the mo and havent been out for days that just thinking about the outside world gives me shivers.

 

[saltash seagull]

The mind boggles at the type of girls one could pick up in Asda.

Supermarkets have some lovely crumpet - But I prefer Muffins personaly.

At Woolworths supermarket in Neutral Bay ( Sydney ) ,
bananas in the top front of the trolley
indicate your on the hunt for something of a sexual nature .

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I saw Nicole Kidman's sister in Woolworths in Double Bay a few weeks ago. She tried it on, but I ignored her advances.

That last bit was a lie

I thought she said, I know how to mayonnaise your meaty balls
