She added: "Bloke in front of me had a shed load of booze in his trolley. Friendly cashier asks, 'having a party, sir?'

"Upon my purchase of a mini bottle of Prosecco I pipe up 'I’m having a party too! Woohoo!'

"Then realise I have one other item in my basket.. a cucumber... Friendly cashier looks at me, I look at him, then I, predictably, get a massive laugh attack and can hardly breathe to pay the poor man. RIP my time at Lidl. "
