Discarded orange peel left on shopfloor. Health and safety hazard.

Ah. The free fruit for kids conundrum. Where to throw the unwanted peel. This kind of thing did actually cause problems with health & safety. People have slipped on dropped (or spat out) peel that went unseen by staff. #Shityouleavebehind #Supermarkets #Retail #Customers #Tesco

Pinch of Nom paperback book stuck between two water single bottles on singles shelving.

Ooo. Remember when this was a thing? Still in the wrong place though... #Shityouleavebehind #Retail #Customers #Supermarkets #Tesco

Six single bottles of drink left on top of dolly when the customer found out there was a 2ltr version of the flavour

"Wait! You mean I didn't have to take all these singles because you sell the 2ltr big bottles further down the aisle!? WHAT SORCERY IS THIS!! #Shityouleavebehind #Retail #Customers #Supermarkets #Tesco

A twin-pack of Dove body lotion left on the UHT milk section.

At least it was left neatly... #Shityouleavebehind #Retail #Supermarkets #Customers

A chilled steak pie package left on the soft drinks shelving.

Yeah. I would have liked to have driven a few stakes through customers hearts. #Shityouleavebehind #Customers #Retail #supermarkets

A tub of Fage Greek yoghurt left out on the sparkling water shelves.

Thing is. I don't really know what Fage is for. All I know is that it can't go back into the chilled section. BECAUSE IT'S BEEN OUT TOO BLOODY LONG! #Shityouleavebehind #Retail #Supermarkets #Customers

Festive kebabs left out of the chiller section on soft drinks aisle.

Around Christmas time, my war on you is not over (even if you want it) and Santa knows when you've been bad... #Shityouleavebehind #Retail #Customers #Supermarkets

A wad of chewed gum left on the shelf. Thanks so very much.

Ewwwwwww... #Shityouleavebehind #Retail #Customers #Supermarkets #UK

Pepsi 24pks left on floor whilst shelf is empty. No one would pick them up.

Some of the shrink wrap had minor rips, nothing wrong with the contents, just the shrink wrap. I did find a way to stop this, but won't reveal it... :) 3/3 #Shityouleavebehind #Retail #Supermarkets #Customers #UK

An opened (and eaten) sandwich pkt left at back of shelving.

Okay. It doesn't matter if it's reduced or something to keep the kids quiet whilst in the trolley. If you have no proof of purchase, with a receipt, then it will be looked upon as stealing... #Shityouleavebehind #UK #Retail #Supermarkets #Customers

Ooo. A video for a change. I wonder if I can con an art gallery into an installation called:- "Are Your Feet Tied Together" or "You Only Walk in One Direction?" #Shityouleavebehind #Retail #Customers #Supermarkets #UK

A cooking tray full of vegetables left on top of a dolly of Diet Coke 2ltr

I suppose ready-meals are quicker to cook... #Shityouleavebehind #Retail #Supermarkets #UK #Customers

A pregnancy test packet, hidden behind instant chocolate drinks, opened and contents removed.

Sigh. @ninjabeaver.social did some small stints in retail on GM. She saw a lot of this. #Shityouleavebehind #Supermarkets #Retail #Customers #Uk

A bag of reduced price chicken wings from the meat deli left on shelf.

Oh man. These things stank when they got cold #shityouleavebehind #Retail #Supermarkets #UK #customers

A full chicken left on shelf to warm up nicely.

AAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHH... #shityouleavebehind #Retail #Supermarkets #UK #customers

I know what this is really. But I could never get over the fact that it looked like a butt plug... #shityouleavebehind #UK #retail #supermarket

A carton of oat milk hidden behind Tango 6pks on top shelf.

You think that by hiding it on the top shelf, we wouldn't see you. We saw you. We saw it all... #shityouleavebehind #Retail #Superstores #supermarkets

A bottle of Radox shower wash hidden behind shelf stock.

Hiding items behind shelf stock has always been a favourite trick of customers for #shityouleavebehind. In fact. most are so conditioned that one customer did it right in front of me with no shame at all... #Retail #Supermarkets #UK

A box of ice-cream lollies left on shelf to melt.

I... I mean... You do know that ice-cream melts. Yes? #shityouleavebehind #Retail #Superstores #UK

A pair of shoes hidden behind 12pks of water.

Ok. My aisle was a bit far from clothing, but howabout using the shoes already on your feet and walking back! Oh, the 4pk of Red Bull belonged in the power drink bay, opposite the water. So all that was needed was to turn 180° (power drinks are not a food supplement by the way). #shityouleavebehind

A bag of frozen chicken pieces left to defrost on the shelving.

Ooo. Finger-licking food poisoning...

Seriously, I will get to the point about #shityouleavebehind and why in the end it costs retailers and customers so much in the price of food shopping. #retail #supermarkets #UK

Sweet packets left on stock ready to go on shelving.

I was a shop ASSISTANT, not a personal slave. Take the #shityouleavebehind back to the aisle you picked it up from. Seriously, left when I went to the warehouse for another customer. Gone just two minutes at least... #retail #UK #superstores

A bottle of wine hidden behind Coke 8-pks

You couldn't even be bothered to nick it, so you stash it here. Hiding #shityouleavebehind items behind correct aisle stock is a favourite trick of customers. BWS theft is massive in stores. Every night, aisle workers give back the security tags found hidden. There were a lot... #retail #superstores

A large pot of fake roses left on a plinth Coke 6-packs.

I was really determined to leave this as was; just to see how long customers would work around it, Jenga-style, to get to the 6-pks. Answer? Quite a while. So much fun... #shityouleavebehind #UK #retail #supermarkets

Two punnets of fresh raspberries left on the fruit juice shelving

What's that I hear you say? You didn't know you needn't crush your own fruit to make fruit juice? Well, who would have thought. Now you'll have to sack all your zero-hour fruit foot crushers for #shityouleavebehind #retail #UK #supermarkets

A Chinese (or curry) take home food bag left in an empty space on the bottled water section.

Another day of #shityouleavebehind. I get that you couldn't find the BWS aisle for the lager (which was right next to mine!), but the few feet it would have taken you, just to return it to the chilled section... #retail #customers #supermarkets

Most of my working life has been in retail. It was a great job really. The biggest problem? Customers. Dumping the wrong product anywhere in the store seemed to get worse over the years. So I'd like to start a little daily project and call it #shityouleavebehind to showcase some real horrors 1/2
