Morrisons' Trollies

Nope not a rehash of the topic below/above about kids in trollies!
I have to write this down as I am so angry (possibly overreacting, but hey!)
Our Safeway turned into Morrisons about 2 months ago. I usually do any big shops in Tesco but pop down to Morrisons for bits and pieces which usually fit in a basket. 3 year old walks, 19 month old in buggy.
Today I decided I needed more than a baskets worth and just wated to have a quick whizz round Morrisions. 3 year old has been pi$$ing me off with all her faffing around, not walking next to me etc.. etc.. so wanted to put them both in the trolly. Not an unusal procedure.
Anyway, Morrisions only have trollies with ONE seat, ONE!! As if all the people in my town only have one child of trolly age!
They had some old Safeway trollies but these were only for babies up to 9kg or baby car seat carriers. The member of staff I asked seemed to think it was an unusal request and kept saying "Won't this do fo your twins?" pointing to the baby seats. OH I got so angry she just didn't care less and hadn't listened to a word I said. I have vowed never to return!
An official letter of complaint is being drafted. It is bloody ridiculous, our nearest Tesco has about 14 different types of trolly and Morrisons can't manage a basic two seater. I mean what stupid numpty decided they weren't needed!
GRRRRRRRRRRR

No reliance should be placed on the above.

    I had exactly the same problem at our morrisons a few months ago - but they had loads of trollies that would fit two babies in ie two baby seats - as i said how many people have twins compared to how many have old toddler and one baby.

    i told my sister this story as she has 3 year old twins and her reply it is a common problem, she shops according to which supermarket has the correct trollies for her needs.

    Are you going to complain goolieman? it seems mad to me that they loose sales due to not enough types of trolley

    i never had this problem cos 5 years between mine, but my sil had only 18 months between hers, and she hated morrisons for this reason.

  • morrisons in grays have trollies with two seats, however no straps or brakes on them but they do better deals than tesco on beer (i know typical man) and a lot of bogof offers.
