Asda shopper with 'too much time on his hands' baffles people with 'festive' receipt

dailyrecord.co.uk:

An Asda customer has gone to bizarre lengths to get himself in the mood for Christmas - by spending more than two hours in store to make his till receipt appear like a Christmas tree.The shopper picked up 13 festive items including turkey, tinsel, mince pies and goose fat, before making sure they were scanned in an order that would create the look of the tree and its basket.

Scanning items with short names first - ham and nuts - he continued with increasingly lengthy named goods to mimic the tree widening.Alongside a snap of his receipt shared to Reddit, the shopper admitted in response to suggestions he has too much time on his hands, saying: "I'm currently unemployed.

Well, technically freelance but a freelance person with no work is unemployed and that's me."A Reddit user queried: "Why did you only make half a tree?

You need to do another one with prices." It prompted the original poster to explain that it's likely to be impossible. "And position the receipts next to each other?" he pondered. "Just thinking about this for a moment, it would cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.
