We always have our shopping delivered by Asda.
I always find it funny to receive so many carrier bags with 1 item in it. A tin, A bunch of bananas, A turnip. Ive seen it all. Do Asda accept carrier bags back? We have a cupboard full of about 300, seriously lol.
When my Husband went to Asda a few weeks ago for our shopping they had a new thing where they wouldnt place all the carrier bags on the checkout and you have to keep asking for more and the woman kept passing 1 or 2 for a full trolley of shopping. Yet they dont seem to mind so much when they are delivering with so many bags!

could have reused some of the 300 you have and got some points in return

It puzzles us drivers why the pickers only put 1 thing in a bag too!

yes, you can give your old carrier bags back to us drivers to return to the store... we can then go and stand at the checkout and sell them to the customers at 2 for a penny!

(That was a joke by the way - they supposidly get sent for recycling!)

Watch out for cheaper deliveries from Feb 24th! :beer:

I worked at Tesco part-time on the tills from age 16 to 18 (am 36 now ) and vividly remember our new store manager who was clearly trying to make an impression with the big bosses. One Saturday we were told to only hand one bag out at a time, with disciplinary action if we did not toe the party line .... we had people with two trollies piled high arriving at the till, being handed one single solitary carrier to put it all in. The looks, the language ...

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

The store was in absolute chaos with shoppers walking out right left and centre, or screaming at customer service staff cos the manager wouldn't come out of the back office. I closed my till after a couple of hours and point blank refused to work any longer. I had a row with my line manager, and ended up putting left shopping back on the shelves for the rest of the shift (and there was a lot more of it than usual!).

The whole scheme lasted a day. Funny now to think how careful I am to avoid carrier bags now, and how anti I was then. :rolleyes:

I have to be honest we tried bagless deliveries and it was awful, the poor driver was only given a couple of minutes extra to deliver without bags and we felt so sorry for him that we never did it again. I do understand that there is pressure on the Supermarkets but they have to also be fair to the drivers!
