I don't really see you should get special treatment just because you're pregnant unless having a bun in the oven affects your ability to use a cash machine and checkout?
If you don't have the right change then you go get some, it's as simple as that really.0 -
That would mean having to go to a cash machine, buying a few things, queuing , going to get a trolley, shopping, queuing again. I guess i could have done this but actually didnt think of it at the time. (cash machines are at opposite end)
I really didnt think shopping had to be as difficult as that to be honest.
its not difficult - it just means you check to see if you have a £1 coin or a trolley token on you before you head off for your big shop. As more and more supermarkets have trolleys where you need a token or a coin, it makes sense to sort that out before you go. You'll know for next time eh?0 -
This makes me laugh, its the only shop where i am that requires money to shop so no i dont think i did it incorrectly at all. Maybe i am being over the top complaining but i hardly think im shopping incorrectly?
Sorry this made me chuckle as you said you left without shopping, so it would suggest that you were shopping incorrectly. I realise it would have been annoying but for some reason this tickled me. :rotfl:
I don't shop in Asda, and never use a trolley in Aldi and Sainsburys doesn't do the annoying coin thing.
Hope you manage to get your shopping

I think the folk whi are saying its not ASDAs fault are the problem! All stores have a key to unlock them as they move them about all the time. I have forgetten my pound Asda-gave me a pound , sainsburys-free charity token, Morrissons plastic disc, Tesco-unlock you a trolley. I'd say it is one crappy Asda that didnt get a pregnant women a trolley. I'd have stood my ground until they got one for me.0

At the end of the day. It's so you don't nick the trolley.
You say you are pregnant but for all Asda know you have a Tesco trolley up your jumper and you are collecting them.
Tip of the day.
When you get your trolley home turn it upside down - it makes a cheap bbq.0 -

The Sainsburys near me does! Maybe it depends on the area and how likely the trolleys are to get nicked!0
