7 funny pranks to pull in a department store (that will probably get you banned)
I don’t know if the following letter is legit. It doesn’t matter though…
I recommend you try any of these antics and let us know how it goes.

as one who works in a retail store in a mall, i have to say i highly approve of these ideas. everyone needs a little entertainment. kudos to the man for having an imagination.
should I be embarrassed or proud that I’ve done a few of these before? :)
Yes.
I used to do the slipping embarrassing items into people carts thing sometimes. It was even better in high school and junior high to slip sex ed books into peoples back backs in the school library so that they would be caught trying to “steal” on their way out.
brilliant, laughed so much. Must try a few of them out
This is funny, but fake…

It thought it might be. Thanks for the link.
Ah – I thought the claim of Britishness seemed a bit far-fetched. I’ve yet to see a shop carrying condoms, alarm clocks and clothes – with somewhere to try them on(!) – but the giveaway was that nobody from Oxford would ever try something so naughty…
Surely many of the big supermarkets? Our local Asda has changing rooms, presumably sells condoms (I imagine all supermarkets do) and could easily have a few alarmclocks in the homewares section.
Now, about the naughtiness of people in Oxford I couldn’t comment…
What’s so sad, is I’ve actaully done half of these.
I’ve actually had the first of those actually done to me before. I went to check out my groceries and lo and behold there in the cart …. It was kind of embarrassing.
Hmmm… I can do #3 next time I go to school. With all the snow around we have those signs everywhere!
Add to that list “Had a duel with a random customer using foam noodles,” “rode through store in a shopping cart pushed by a friend, yelling in ‘pirate talk’,” “played tag in the lobby,” and “asked every employee in the building if they knew where to find ninjas for sale,” then that would be me exactly :).
