The Breakfast Club podcast. So there she was, Isabella, my daughter. Lined up at New World, and she came out for dinner last night at She-Tome of the Story, which was just gorgeous. So first thing she noticed was the woman in front of her at the checkout had a big deep trolley. One of those big deep trolley's and said, so, Bella said, she immediately thought, oh, that woman must be rich. And I said, why? No, she's got a big family. That's what she said. But my girls think if you've got a big deep trolley, that somehow means you're rich. Because I suppose I think you can fill it up. Never thought about that before. Yeah, maybe she's sensible with her shopping. No, yeah, but Bella always goes, you know, if you're poor and you've got a big morgue like she has, you just have a shallow trolley because she's kind of fooled anymore of them there. So she first thought, deep trolley, ladies rich, just carrying on a merry way. And then she hears the checkout woman say to the customer with the deep trolley, um, that's $580. Do you want your smig stickers? And she said, no.
And then they said, what would you like me to do with them? Just give them the person behind me. Wow, Bella was the person behind. And she said she nearly hit the four $580 worth of smig stickers. She's straight to get the block, baby. How about that? That is $20. Is it $20 sticker? $30. Oh, you're asking the wrong, what was that? Yeah, she's an ocean girl. She's a huge rich 20. Yeah, they actually worked that out because I didn't do that. But Bella, then she got on the group chat with the girls and she's 20. Yeah. So what would that be? What, so $580? I'm going to work this out. $580. Divide it by $580. Can you not work that out? That's $30 stickers. Well, not quite. $29. Yeah. Well, that's why she's fizzing because she can get whatever she can get with that. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. If Bella just does this like a shark, it circles the entire supermarket all day. Looks the deep drollies. Just looks at, and just sort of stalks some infolors and then buys like three cucumbers and then two toilet rolls each time.
If you manage to just sort of get away with that. Just loiter. Loiter with, but with a few things and then do buy them and just try and get behind those people in the line. I reckon she'd get more than $29. The other thing you can do, not that I've ever done this myself, went, went, went, nudge nudge. I found two stickers in the car park. So scouting the car park is a good nudge. Also the self-service checkouts because they print the little tag out that you didn't have to take to get the stickers. Ah. So just keep your eyes peeled for leftover bits of paper and it might not be a receipt. Did you pick up the stickers? It's a stub. Isn't it? Absolutely. Yeah, he always does. He's always looking in the car park. It's been even be the guy, Lana, who win the win blows and the two little smeg stickers. He's racing trying to stamp his foot on the, I'm a tail of this sticker. But look at the knife. I don't see why that's funny. That's a great idea, Slavin. Another text is coming, guys. I, Lawyer, in the self-checkout area. Yeah. There are always some left in there. Good. See? Yes. There's a few text in that Lawyer's in the checkout area.
So do you just run around and wait for them to people to leave the till and just grab that little stub that sort of spits out? I'm not doing a stakeout, but like if I'm at this self-service checkout and I'm doing my stuff and I see a few there, I'll be having a lot. Do a wrecky. Yeah, I'll do a quick wrecky. Oh, I just, that is so funny. I couldn't believe that was exciting with 29 stickers. She was just, she was genuinely, it was like she'd won a lot of. Well, fair enough. When she's been trying to scare viewers for ages, but the other vultures keep coming in. The rest of her sisters are, someone's texting Spineys saying they lost two. They're like, can you please reply what's supermarket and I'll be there in the next two minutes. Oh, he's gone, he's gone to that texture. He's really good. Actually, Debbie says this. Now, I don't know whether you can do this, Debbie. She says, I always ask the person if they want their stickers at the checkout. Oh, that's pretty confronting. But you don't ask, you don't get. True. Last thing on this, do you know what I did once? Just because no good reason, apart from what I'd heard about it, I thought I'm going to do that.
Tracks. Tracks. No, thanks for the McDonald's drive through. This is so cute. This is actually, it sounds like I'm blowing smoke at my own, who are here. And I kind of am, but I'm kind of not. It was about paying it forward. I bought my McDonald's and then I said to the checkout person, I'll pay for the family behind me. Nice. And I watched their reaction. And it was really, they had no idea who it was. Just, they just got up there and just, they did wave them through and pointed to my car. And the family, I could see them all celebrating the car. I thought, I'm going to do that more often. So the real lesson there is that if you're at New World and you happen to see your old friend, Speedy walking around, the best thing to do is to give him all of your smeg stickers because it will make you feel great. Thank you Simon. That's a problem. Have we done enough self-sourcing pulling any earheads? I'm just wondering. She would keep going. Ask me if I'm done it again. Have you done it since? No. And it's just a good reminder that I need to. Okay, when you're leaving work, we'll follow your home.
