bacon from Spar
i went to spar on saturday on the way to my mates house to buy some wine and thought i should buy something other than wine from the shop, so i picked up some bacon because it was on offer at £2.49 for 12 rashers.
I went to the till but the barcode on my packet was torn. I went to get another one but that one scanned at £3.19. It turns out that some were on offer but others weren’t. Rather than cause a problem with the increasing queue behind me, i chose smoked rather than unsmoked which still had the barcode attached.
Even this caused more problems as the till operator had to call her manager over to cancel the original bacon.
At this point i had the chance to get some free bacon because my less than able attendant didn’t scan the new bacon, but being an honest man i pointed out her omission and the total came up as £ 6.49 so i paid and left
Amusingly enough the story didn’t end there as the bacon was best before the 15th feb (purchase date being the 20th) but it turns out to be legal to sell food after the ‘best before’ date, so i just started eating it. I’m sure i’ll survive the 12 rashers
