Epic WTF

WTF 1) how did nobody in TESCOrp. think spending money on this would be worse than some empty shelves?

Wtf 2) did nobody see a resemblance with Potemkin villages, especially in the current context (BREXIT!)

Wtf 3) Why so much asparagus, of all things?

Ah, ok, must read these articles sometime.

Empty shelves = shortages = panic buying.

Fucking hell 😂

Fair point, but perhaps they could have printed out advertising or LLL or something else? Replacing food with pictures of food comes across as a poor, Orwellian attempt to fool people into believing there isn’t any shortage.

The WTF is that the ones in the middle are upside down.

That's Australian asparagus.

Ausparagus, Shirley?

Nice.

Here we go again

Someone else was tweeting pics of a shelf with photographs of items as a scare story but didn't check that the words "please ask for these items at the till" were clearly visible.

Asparagus probably not shoplifted as much as baby formula.

Can’t say if holds but..

Making my way through this thread, and yeah, 4mo reply, but I felt compelled to point out that's a Baboon skull.

When I was an apprentice one of the managers of a dept I had to go into had one of those 'ass' trays on his desk. Crazy looking back now to think that people used to smoke at their desks!

my first "proper" job aged 16 (1997) was at a freight forwarding company as their IT intern but they also expected me to work on filling the trailers.

on friday evenings everyone was expected to work 3 hours overtime (unpaid and not on the employment contract) to fill all the remaining container space with discounted shipments for the weekend.

the concessions they made to the staff for literally ruining their weekend was they'd order about £40 worth of chineses food (for about 15 people) and they let all the smokers smoke at their desk of which there were many.

so not only did i miss going out with my mates every friday, I'd not have a proper dinner and i'd leave absolutely reeking of stale cigarette smoke with a sore throat.

Happy days...

The NFT represents a 14-inch Tungsten cube that would weigh 1,784 pounds if they were to manufacture it. Its minimum bid is 47.74 ETH, or about $200,000; Murray said they’ll order the raw materials as soon as someone hits the minimum bid—and whoever owns the NFT will then get annual visiting rights to the cube

Lol

Jesus wept.

I don't suppose you've got a link for the pound coin necklace? Google is failing me at the moment.

I still have a set of early tungsten competition darts somewhere in my lock-up. Can’t recall offhand what weight they are, but they’re tiny. Darts were usually made of brass but the heavier ones would still be quite large. Tungsten darts could be the same weight but half the size and much easier to throw.
