I want a little rant. Home delivery from supermarkets
Discussion
Now this may or may not turn into a normal pissing PH rant with the f
k filter going off all the time but we will have to wait and see.
We just had a home delivery from a well known supermarket, all well and good turning up when we asked them, well a few minuets late as the driver sailed past the house but we can forgive that as it is dark.
As he carried in all of the boxes for us it was only then I notices how many fking bags that they have used. One bag for one small bag of dried fruit, another dried fruit product in another bag AND a bag of potatoes in a bag, I mean a bag IN a bag!
I think for a shop of about £80ish they must of used about £5 worth of plastic bags and not just normal white ones, oh no. Blue bds, yellow fkers and red sts!
Just for the purest on here have a few more fk, st, , bd.

I bought a bag today and the checkout lady asked if I wanted a bag.
I just wasn't prepared for that question, that I only got what she actually meant when she started to open up a plastic carrier bag. I thought she was asking if I wanted the bag I had placed on the checkout...well yes, of course...why else would I place the bag on the checkout?
"Why would I need a bag, for a bag?"
"...well, SOME people do!..."
I feel your pain.

The bags are colour coded to the product. Frozen, perishable, non perishable.
You may give the bags back for recycling if you wish. If it is a delivery company that sounds similar to Avocado they should ask.
Oh, and it's a time 'slot' rather than a specific time. Slots are half hour intervals.

There is always one that has the sensible answers! You may give the bags back for recycling if you wish. If it is a delivery company that sounds similar to Avocado they should ask.

To balance the rant and give an upside.....
We've just had a delivery. The driver apologised and said there was a mistake and two of the trays were picked twice. Would we like the extra two trays for no extra cost or does he have to return them?
The trays were from the alcohol and toiletries aisles and worth about £50. It would be rude not to enjoy a couple of free gin and tonics tonight!

I get a lot of my shopping home delivered, I go bagless as I'm obviously underqualified to be a "packaging engineer" or whatever the term is as my shopping always ends up loose all over the boot on my journey home from Tesco.
I actually have a few free deliveries to use up as well as I complained (not in a major way, more of an "FYI; please address this" type statement) that on the last three months of home deliveries I always had a substitute, and I could have just walked in and picked up the product I wanted for myself. I mentioned it less for myself and more to stop the company subbing what you'd paid for with something you don't want, but I'll take some free primetime home deliveries too. Not to mention the only thing I've had subbed is a crate of beer, subbed with the individual packs. I bought a crate of 15, I was delivered 16. Free beer!

I've never understood why people use the home delivery so much. I don't mean for disabled/ill etc. as it's pretty good, but normal people.
Woman across the road from me is in all day, she doesn't work as she is "writing a novel"... gets her shopping delivered to her a couple times a week, then hops in the car that sits outside all day to drive down and pick the kids up from school. A school which is over the road from Tesco, which just delivered shopping 2 hours ago.
Can't figure out if she's thick, or just lazy...

Its a speed thing. They hold a list of your most bought items so you just log on and hit reorder. For things like tins and bottles you don't really need to look at what your buying. That way you just have to shop for fresh stuff.DottyMR2 said:

I do because I'm super tight, Sainsburys offered me £15 off my first online shop, which I used, then they e-mailed offering £10 off and free delivery on the next 4 which I used, now I'm using Tesco's £15 off - I suspect if I re-register everywhere with my Wife's details I could probably do the same again, but I do have some shame...Woman across the road from me is in all day, she doesn't work as she is "writing a novel"... gets her shopping delivered to her a couple times a week, then hops in the car that sits outside all day to drive down and pick the kids up from school.

I've probably saved £100 over 6 weeks or so through the discount schemes, special offer deals (they're clearer online) and in nectar points. It also avoided impulse buying of snacks and assorted s
te the kids pick up. Waiting for the delivery is a bit of a faf, but I asked them to drop it around when the baby is asleep and we're housebound anyway - with Tesco I "click and collect".
I've yet to be given manky bananas or stale bread or had fish fingers substituted for foie gra.
