Jedi thrown out of grocery store

[Sandrock74]

He refused to remove his hood, so they tossed him out. I guess there's some whacky new Jedi religion, so he's trying to say his playing dressup is a part of his religious doctrine.

The BEST part is the stores response! The freakin' spokesperson is more knowledgeable about the Jedi than these "religious" kooks!

As relayed by the Tesco spokesperson;

"If Jedi walk around our stores with their hoods on, they'll miss lots of special offers."



Thanks Sandrock74!

Um...Tesco isn't a grocery store, it's an evil corporation.
Seriously. Out of every eight pounds spent in the UK, one of them is spend at that place.

It's probably run by the Sith.

A lot of stores won't let you wear a hood in the stores anymore here in the US I guess a lot of robbers wear a hood while robbing

No problemo! You know, when I read that quote, it made me wonder about Stormtroopers who may shop there. Don't their helmets have optical enhancement stuff built in? If so, they wouldn't miss ANY sales! Plus, they could use their helmet comlinks to notify other Stormtroopers of the sales!

Maybe I should start a Stromtrooper religion...

Sounds like what we americans call Wal-Mart!

you know what's against my religion? Taxes. Credit card bills. Ex-wives. Friends dying from cancer. Health insurance. The Current Colorado Avalanche roster. All of these are severe insults to my core system of beliefs. Where can I get a lawyer to help me sue all of the above?

Seriously though, for most of his 500,000 followers this was just a joke at the last census. When asked to declare a religion thousands of people just wrote in Jedi for a laugh. Since the last census was held when I was at college and most of my mates were 18 I'm close personal friends with about a dozen Jedi.

One of my atheist teachers is also a jedi. I suppose he'd be a jedi master under the circumstances.

Hmmm ... I surmise that Tosche Station musta been all outta power converters , hence the trip to Tesco.

The more puzzling query , however , is this :

Why didn't Morda Hehol simply use the Jedi mind trick to "convince" the store's staff to allow him to continue shopping unabated?


Soft , he is , this "Jedi".

*Waves hand mystically* "You will ignore the fact that the dork has his hood up..."

Oh God...I laughed so hard, I think I peed myself!

While I do think the Jedi "Religion" is a load of crap, I do see a double standard. What if a nun walked in! No issue there I suppose.

My God, banning the Jedi from the store is only phase one! They're obviously perfecting a superlaser to destroy the competition and overthrow the Republic! 😱

Sue their pants off, dorksquad.

NO. NO NO NO NO NO. The Church of the Jedi is BULLSHIT. It's up there with fuckin Scientology.

 

[Bugman]

I can only use the drive up window at my bank because should i wish to enter the lobby i am required to remove my sunglasses and gimme cap. I demand satisfaction and recompense for the damage this has done to my psyche. 😡

Bullshit, indeed. Unlike all those other religions which are so...um..."real".
