    The staff are not allowed to jump the queue and get one, they would have to go for their lunch break tojoin the queue to try to get one of the 30.

    There has been a three page document release to the relevant stores detailing the strict procedure to follow for the sale of these bags.
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    one life, live it!

    I have read all about them, and thought too that they were going to be in every saisnbury's. If I had known they were online I would have ordered one. Apparently it sold out within 2 hours. Very tempted to go on wednesday, but our Sainsbury's have 2 entrances, knowing my luck, I will be queing at the wrong entrance, and they will open the other doors.

    My local sainsburys said that they will actually recieve 50 bags but 20 will be reserved for staff, with 30 going on sale to the public and they expect to have sold out of them by 8.30am possibly 8.15am, they have already heard that other stores have had people asking to put them on lists (which they are not meant to be doing but apparantly some stores are) and also staff in other stores getting friends one.
    They have said it is one per customer.
  • Apparently all sainsbury stores have changed the time to 8PM!!!!! Honest :whistle:


    *rushes off to be the first in the queue at 8AM*


















    Only kidding..............................:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    My mind not only wanders .......... sometimes it leaves completely

    I have just been told that staff are not allowed to have them. It is only if they are in the queue out of uniform. If your local store is doing that, then talk to Head Office.

    Vital piece of info everyone has forgotton - where will they be located for sale ? - at the checkouts ? aisles ? which aisle ?
    30 per store is nothing will be sold in minutes - great PR for sainsburys !

    :eek: I wonder if they'll give you a carrier bag to take it home in:eek:

    I'm amazed at the amount of frowns I get when I say "no thanks" I've already got a bag with me in shops, and I then put the items in my own bag (along with the receipt!!!) ... there should be an incentive for NOT using plastic bags not suspicion
