Solved (OC) An empty dish
Empty dish put on the floor
Fill it, find out what's in store

Great answer!
It isn't quite right. Are you saying that gossip is a dish? You're pretty close though. → More replies (3)

That isn't right but it is quite funny. I didn't get the connection to "in store" the first time I read your guess. I suppose if I have to quibble to distinguish between that and the answer I'm looking for, it would be that you don't really put it on the floor to fill it. Or at least I don't. I'd only put it down if it was full and heavy.

No, it's not that. I don't see why it would be on the floor or how the second line would fit.

Hi there, riddlers! Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses and discussions of guesses, like so:
On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg
On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants): >!guess or discussion between these symbols!< To be clear, that is
>!(greater than, exclamation point) at the start and!<(exclamation point, less than) at the end with no spaces around the!. Avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the formatting for most people. Spoiler tags do not span paragraphs or line breaks. If your answer is long, please spoiler-tag each paragraph separately.Putting a link inside spoiler tags can be tricky, so just format the link like this, using the word "SPOILER" as the link text. On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants), do this to format a link: [SPOILER](https://example.com/) On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://imgur.com/x5wDOvk
If your top-level comment does not contain a guess, you can include either the word "discussion" or "question" instead of using a spoiler tag.
Please report any answers or discussions that are not properly spoiler-tagged.
