Supermarket home delivery services

[1664kronenbourg]

While I understand that somepeople genuinely can't get to the shops or have anybody to do their shopping so they need the home dleivery service.
But then there are people who decide, well I'm a customer and i can always take my custom elsewhere as as I'm too lazy to just take the ten/twenty minute walk up to the supermarket, i'll get one of the staff to do MY shopping for me and get somebody to bring it to my place.

I'm not making thse three cases up but:-
Case 1-some lazy ***** calls the co-op whereI work and wants some cans of laget and cigggies delivered.
Case 2 (i swear I'm not making this one up either)- another lzay ***** callsthe same co-op and has a packet of twenty cigarettes delievered to their house.
Case 3 Somebody decides to amuse themselves by wasting everybosdy elses time by ordering some cat food which they want delivered to their house. They tell the driver that they don't want it and he has to drive all the way back with HIS and the CTM who picked their order out for them's time. I would have masde him come back, himself and put EVERY single item which timewasters like them take off the shelf, put in baskets then leave

People're who take the **** like that SHOULD BE MADE TO GO AND TO THEIR OWN SHOPPING, THEMSELVES, IF THEY'RE PERFECTLY CAPABLE AND DON'T HAVE A REASON NOT TO OR BLACLISTED FROM THE SERVICE IF THEY'RE GOING TO TREAT THE HOME DELIVERY SERVICE LIKE THAT!

There're pensioners who genuiinely can't leave the house or're too frightenEd to do so again after being mugged that need people to do their shopping and appreciate it and swon't abuse the service

I can understand you getting the zig over the examples that you quoted, but prior to Covid my wife would drive to either Waitrose or Tesco, depending on traffic volumes, and get a weekly shop.
With the advent of Covid, morons were queuing around the block to get in and panic buy anything that they could grab, and I didn’t fancy standing in line waiting to get in, with people who couldn’t spell social distance, let alone conform to it.
Being as I’m older than Methuselah, we had an email from Asda saying that the Government had informed them that I was vulnerable, and they would give us a priority slot for weekly delivery.
I wasn’t mug enough to say no to that, so my wife submits a weekly order online, and it’s delivered on Saturday between 10.00 and 12.00.
Things have calmed down somewhat now and we could drive to the supermarket again, but I’m still old and happy to have our regular £90-£100 shop delivered, am I wrong in your eyes?

No.
It'sjustthat there're people who decide that supermarket staff can do the shopping for them and there're peple who tjink, a bit of rain? I'm not going shopping now. There are people who're perfectly capable of doing their own shopping, themselves, if there's no reason why they shouldn't.

This thread reads like it’s some kind of free service supermarkets offer.

Delivery costs money in 99% of cases. It’s another product they are selling us. No one should feel any kind of guilt for getting their shopping delivered.

It's a free service but my point is that there're people that abuse it like the incidents I mentioned in the OP. I think that a lot of people're put off goting to their local supermarkets by the amount of people hanging around asking for loose change (its hard to tellwho the real homeless are or aren;t).

I wish @1664kronenbourg would come back and tell us what the actual thread is about. Whether he works for the co-op etc.

I work thereon he shop floor and the thread's a discussion about supermarket home delivery services. I was just pointing out the fact that there're're some peole who're too lazy to walk twenty minutes up the road if they're perectly capable and don't have a good reason as to why they can't.
I'll give you health, waiting in for a deliveryor lack of child care as three perfectly good reasons.
Skpeaking of Kronenbourg, I managed to get the last four in the shop the other day.
