AUDIO: SHOPPER STOPPED FOR BULGE IN PANTS… POCKET
A shopper in Staffordshire, England, is bent out of shape after he was approached by a security officer at a Lidl grocery store about the bulge in his pants… pocket. Chris Jones says he had picked up two bottles of cider and a bottle of water and was at the checkout when a security guard approached and asked him about a ‘bulge’ in his pocket. Mr. Jones said there were other customers there and he felt embarrassed and humiliated. He emptied his pocket and pulled out a plastic shopping bag that he’d brought with him.
* Well, that’s even more humiliating.
* When he pulled out the plastic bag, that’s when they called in the eco-police.
* This used to happen to Bilbo Baggins all the time.
* But… happy ending! Mr. Jones and the security guard are now dating.
* This used to happen to Bilbo Baggins all the time. (see audio clip)
