> if you pick up a sandwich and then put it down somewhere else in the store

Why do people do this? Why can’t you put it back where you got it if you don’t want it any more?

Some people are just terrible.

I was in a supermarket sometime last year and saw a woman put a package of meat in the toilet paper aisle and walk away. She saw me staring at her and began shouting at me.

The world is full of awful people.


At least she reacted. It's utter indifference that scares me.


Oh, the humanity!

I mean it's kind of symbolic: meat is basically absolute, complete and utter shit, anyway.


I worked in a supermarket for several years and this happened all the time. I could never figure it out, but basically some people would change their mind and dump things right where they were standing. Normally this isn’t a big big deal - we would just put it back in the correct spot but sometimes we’d get fruit and veges dumped in the freezer which would ruin them. That was particularly weird.
