Smelly Woman Horse Rider Kicked out of Tesco's !!

It reminds me of the time when I was in the queue at a Tescos metro shop about two miles from my livery yard with my joddies and wellies on, etc. We had had a particularly smelly batch of haylage, and prior to going shopping I had filled up one of my haynets with it. I was concious of two lads giggling behind me and could feel their eyes in the back of my head. I was absolutely mortified when one of them said they could smell baby sick.
 
Funny, but a friend of mine was told horse manure was the only manure she would not have to avoid handling while she was pregnant...that was 4 years ago, but have not heard anything to the contrary. There are people that smell alot worse, and I go into my local supermarket every night after mucking out and riding..its a Tesco's.
 
Shop at Sainsburys, sometimes I go in, I'm sure, looking and smelling homeless and I've not been kicked out yet.

I am sorry but that is ridiculous! I have many a time gone into shops and passed people in them who I am sure could have done with using deodrant and they have never been askld to leave eveb though they smell revolting!!

I bet tonnes of people walk into supermarkets with a lot worse than horse manure on ther shoes it's just they may not be wearing obvious clothing demonstrating the fact if where they've been.
 
Thank god our tescos and waitroses are more tolerant - as others commented, horse is far better than the stink of BO - I have lost count of the whiffy people we get who stink of week old sweat etc and will they ban babies with sh*tty nappies that you can smell a mile off?

I agree if she were trailing horse sh*t but not just being a bit horsey smelling.

Have an urge now to complain about stinky kids, people etc next time I am in.

Health & Safety - b*llocks - I often hurt myself trying to get things that are stacked up 6 can high on the top shelfs frequently - maybe I should start complaining about the H&S on that too.

Rant rant rant - must be that time of the month for me

They should meet some of the smelly buggers I have to deal with not to mention their houses. They can always afford beer, fags and in some cases drugs but the budget never stretches to soap
 
Oh that's hilarious!.. sounds like she was a lot cleaner than I have been at times when in tesco.

wonder if they're going to start kicking out the people reeking of bo (their staff included). all the people with manky kids that go about touching things and picking their noses. people that reek of fags. They'll need to clean their manky trolleys too and no babies coz they might have poo & peuk on them.

BUT it does beg the question....what would you do? would you scurry out mortified. or put on your poshest voice and demand to speak to the manager re' the harrasment of horsy people being singled out as dirty, when there are far far worse as above.
 
Similar thing happened to me a couple of years ago in Co-op

Someone had complained I had mud on my boots and the supervisor pointed it out to me AFTER I had paid for my shopping. As she said it we both looked down to my boots - and they were clean! But I didn't smell

I found out later that the man who had complained moaned about everything and the supervisor was told off for embarrassing me

How friggin dum!!! when oil runs out and were riding our beastys around still getting places faster than everyone else, we'll be laughing and they will be smelly dirty and slow as well! Dirt os good it means you immune system is good!!!! I would of just said to the bloke who was telling me I smelt too much to show me the sign that said 'customers only welcome if they smell like Roses and Lavender' and then carried on regardless.
 
A lady at my yard works in the co-op. She is in her 60s, and I overheard her talking to another mid 60s male livery the other day, about how when people go into her particular (rural) shop wearing wellies, jods etc, she has been known to tell them off. She says the cleaners aren't there to clean up after inconsiderate people and she can only imagine the same people would walk round their house in their wellies (actually, I would as mine is a building site!). The bloke then said that he usually leaves his wellies by the door if he goes to the shop on the way home (he lives practically next door to the shop btw!). Can you imagine doing that in half the shops in this country? Your wellies would get nicked or chucked somewhere for fun!

I worked in Tesco when I was 17/18 (6-7 years ago) and was once looking for a packet of something for a customer. Another employee who was a shelf-stacker, saw a customer walk past with a farmy shirt on covered in hay, and (known for being a gobby older woman), said to her in a loud voice 'what you got all over your back?' and people started looking at this woman. The employee then started picking it off the woman's shirt. The woman glared at her and said something like 'it's ****** ***** hay. **** off!' Don't think I've laughed so much... ever!

I go to the shops in my horsey stuff if I am feeling brave enough in my jods. The shop gets cleaned everyday whether or not I go in there in wellies; and frankly anyone could have anything on their shoes, regardless of their hobby! Also, a lot of workers go by these shops on there way to and from work, and that includes site labourers and the like, who may well smell.

This is ridiculous IMO.
 
Bloody hell, I always go shopping in the Co-Op in my horse gear, as does everyone horsey around here. I have been high street shopping in my riding gear too and didn't give it a seconds thought.
 
You would think, given the current economic climate...that they would be happy for us to be in there in the first place, spending our money!

I regularly stench my way round morrisons on the way home from the yard, occasionally with equally smelly children in tow....first time I get asked to leave then woe betide!!! There will be one holy hell of a kick off!!

NOTE: the customer is always right, even when covered in horse s****
 
I do this everyweekend

I try and make sure I haven't got too much mud on my boots but would tell 'em to begger off if they didn't want me in their shop because I didn't smell of roses.
 
I hose off my boots, but other than that I can be found in full riding kit (I muck out 5) in my local ASDA several times a week where I'm greeted with a smile every time.

I won't be going to tescos if thats the attitude.

Would it be worth getting a coach trip together to visit this Co-Op? I'm sure we could all have a lot of fun with this old biddy? She wouldn't be the only one reaching for the Tenna ladies.

Lol.

The thing that shocked me is that she is otherwise quite reasonable.

OMG... I've only just come out of Tesco in Axminster! Been clipping all morning; covered head to foot in hair, mud, grime, sweat, pooh and haylage dregs. I admit I stink like a muck heap, and didn't even bother brushing my hair before leaving the house at 8.00am this morning (I mean, what would have been the point!?)

Oooooh errrr...... What must people have thought!

Whatever next! I know supermarkets wants us to buy all our food pre packed, sterile, bland, tasteless, out of season etc. But didn't realise that extended to trying to make their customers as bland and nondescript as well.

I tell my husband the self same thing !! He always looks really shocked when I get home stinking off "eau de yard" with the weeks shopping.. I figure I'm happy enough smelling of my horses wee, its when I'm old and smell of my own pee that I'll worry....
shocked.gif
 
They should kick out all the smelly shoppers then!!! Many times I have been shopping and smelt stale wee, body odour , dog poo, baby sick and just general uncleanliness and that includes some of the staff. I'd love them to try and throw me out, it would be so much fun!!!
 
How silly. I go into Tesco's at least 3 evenings on the way back from the yard looking like a homeless person - hay all over me..mud from the yard dog saying hello - I don't even wear riding gear, I'm in old trousers and manky fleece lol. I'd be horrified if I was asked to leave!
