Trouble in Store
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.'
