I was buying lunch in the Woolies just across from my office - the usual, a pepper steak pie for my boss and a cornish pastie for me, and I have also bought a few vegies in my basket, and headed to the basket queue. (I often give my boss carrots... but that is another story for anotehr time :)) I was wearing my biker gear, and carrying my helmet.
This particular Woolies has a basket queue and a trolley queue. It seems though, that not everyone sees the bakset queue as most people with only a few items still go to the basket queue. Which is fine. Whatever.
As I was standing in the queue, I noticed, for the first time, a sign that said - "5 items or less", and of course, I read it out loud - a quirk I have. The man in front of me replied "yes, they have a buzzer that will go off if you have more than 5 you know!: and smiled. To which I said: "well, I have seven. I hope they don't throw me out...". He laughed and commented: "Ja, it's those bikers you know - always causing trouble aren't they?"
We both had a good good giggle, and despite getting a bit wet from the rain on the way back, the pies were delicious.
