We've all stood in the aisles wrestling with our conscience over the smallest decisions. Rank these classic British shopping ethics from most to least bothersome.
Put the items in your preferred order.
Taking the last reduced item
That yellow-sticker bargain everyone's been circling like seagulls. Do you grab it or graciously step aside?
Using the self-checkout 'unexpected item' loophole
A surprisingly common temptation that costs Tesco and Sainsbury's millions a year. Harmless cheek or genuine theft?
Jumping the queue at the deli counter
You've forgotten your ticket and the bloke ahead is ordering an entire buffet. Surely a quick swoop is allowed?
Sampling grapes before buying
A nibble to check sweetness feels innocent, but technically that's unpaid produce in your gob.
Leaving your trolley in a parent-and-child bay
You're not a parent, you don't have a child, but the space was right there. The judgement of fellow shoppers is fierce.
Drag the photo to reorder
Is it ethical to pretend you've read the group chat when you've actually muted it for weeks?
