It was a good idea at the time. A few packets of crisps and a few drinks. And then just escalated from there.
This shopper filled these trolleys with thousands of pounds worth of crisps and drinks before he got to the checkout and his card was declined – leaving staff to put it all back.
Three members of staff at the Morrisons store in Barry, South Wales, had helped the man fill 22 trolleys with £3,338 worth of spirits, beer and fizzy drinks before packing the items for him after he told them it was for a charity do.
The store had even opened a new till aisle and publicised the charity event on their announcement system before his bank card was repeatedly rejected.
Mr Ware said: ‘He said he wanted to do quite a large shop for a raffle on the waterfront with balloons and inflatables to raise money’
A store spokesman said: ‘It turned out he had some mental illness problems – he meant well.’
now that brings up loads of possibilities :p

Can’t help – shouldn’t laugh but in reality feel sorry
The same local bin closed a Victorian set of chalets which had become a second Psychy bin. What happened to all the patients – overnight defined as capable of looking after themselves in the community by the collective case conference bum warmers in the NHS.
Okay so out they go into local community dwelling but geographically completely disorientated. Where do they go after being fed and watered at their new community accommodation?
Well where do bees go? To the original hive of course.
We have a regularly seen senior citizen – female in a skirt and blouse, tousled grey hair, Doc Martens lace up and white football socks. Grunting away frightening all kids and infants in push chairs and looking for coins by pressing refund button, accidently left by persons using ticket vending machines. In and out of shops still grunting like a sow in heat.
Another local character – wears a Deer stalker hat with a mass of badges on it. Usual occupation talking to anyone or to himself and looking for coin refunds but more specifically picking up cigarette buts and smoking them.
Then we have the daily star performer. Youngish gets off the bus on his free bus pass, begins screaming profanities along the pavement loud enough for people in upstairs windows to hear. Keeps going walking like a man possessed until he reaches a road to cross. The profanities stop and he looks right, left, and right again and safely crosses commencing of course with the profanities once safely across.
There you have it how the NHS treats people, yours and my relatives/friends maybe, certainly someone’s relatives. Do the bum warmers care – not a yot.

A lot of supermarkets wont allow you to buy more than 10 of any particular item.

Wonder which ‘bin’ he popped out of ?
Must have been allocated a task to accomplish at his Community Therapy group session.
The specification may have been something like “Plan to be involved in some charity work”.
Well the ‘Bin’ sure tipped out a grand plan on him and he took Morrisons on his deluded trip.
Funny in many ways – not so funny if you were the guys at Morrisons.
The local former 1000 bed ‘bin’ sends their clients to IKEA to choose or buy cabinets for their kitchen. Talk about real discerning decision making by a psychologically unstable individual – there you have it. Change of mind between Floor 1 and Cash register.
Of course the staff/therapists get paid tidy salaries to sit at meetings and case conferences and analyse the success of their clients as they call it. Morrisons and IKEA pay their staff for the NHS bum warmers to earn their salaries while drifting in cloud cuckoo land.
