My SO is so much into just browsing that the lounge is a great place for me to wait for her.
I usually order my dutyfree to be picked up on my return and head to the lounge.

I saw something just like this! Gentleman in the Pier J loading half a dozen cans of Heineken into his carry on. There's beer on the plane, guy!

Same guy (exact same part of the lounge/v.similar clothing) in the Pier F lounge this morning doing exactly the same thing. 6 bottles of San Pellegrino packed into two rucksacks. Also, a travel mug that he carried back & forth to the bar area, with god knows what inside it What is wrong with these people

Maybe he buys refundable F tickets to get access to lounge every week, lives in Tsing Yi, and is doing his weekly free grocery + meal.

LOL- god knows - he certainly looked very "unsavoury"/"shifty"

A big hullabaloo in the Wing F a week or so ago when someone picked up the bottle of red wine from the self serve area and walked off with it. Someone else was waiting to pour himself a glass and made it very clear to the entire area that the individual had taken the whole bottle. That persons face turned roughly the same hue as the wine.

On a related note, I once had a shower at Pier J - was walking out of the long row of shower stalls, glanced left at an open shower room door as I strolled by, and spotted a young Chinese dude in one of the shower rooms, hunched over a sink, emptying out the amber-colored Aesop shampoo bottle into an Aqua mineral water bottle.

Seriously? Taking shampoo home with you? That's a new low. And at least learn to perform illicit acts with the door CLOSED (i guess he kept the door open for ventilation, thinking no one was around to watch).

But then again, if you're gonna sneak J-lounge liquids out, it might as well be Aesop shampoos - the 17-ounce shampoo bottle in the shower stalls costs upwards of $49. Easily the most expensive form of liquid in the lounge (far beyond beer/wine).

ROFL. I joked about it but I didn't imagine someone will actually do it.

I doubt he's stopping at a bottle of shampoo. Would not be surprised if he had 20 bottles prepared to raid multiple shower rooms for shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap and hand lotion.
