Sorry if you really dont understand why someone would need their shopping bagged.

Iceland for sure make you have bags and there's a standard 25p fee no matter how many bags you actually receive, stopped using them now

My recent big stockup with iceland came with a load of bags, everything was double bagged and they are those big quite good bags that they have, well worth the 25p lol. If I shop in store and get it home delivered (our store is no where near a carpark so big walk with heavy bags with food for 5 of us is no use), I use reusable bags which I get back later on.

Don't do home delivery that often but I wouldn't want drivers in my house either tbh, so I get why for many having it bagged up is far easier.

TBH I think stores went to home delivery simply to compete with each other and it is probably not a great thing for them cost and profit wise so they actually may be happy for people to stop using the service and go back to stores-or get others to shop for them.

Not Asda but still worthy of an update.

A Tesco driver refused to help my 74 year old mother unpack from the crates. She pulled her back whilst picking small items one at a time out of the crate. They offered a measly £50 compensation. Needless to say they wont be using Tesco again, not Asda either of course because of the policy, luckily most of the other competitors didnt follow this nonsensical policy.

My sister is sharing Ocado orders with me, so the min order size is now way easier to hit since she buys so much food. I also did a Morrison's order over the Xmas period as well as they still do bags.

And that's probably also the reason that drivers aren't unpacking. Bending over to empty crates all day isn't going to do their backs any good at all. You asked earlier why drivers can't pack bags because cashier do it. Tills are ergonomically designed to reduce the impact on the employee. Customers porch floors aren't.

I agree its not ideal for them either, really this is a management problem. But the customers still pay £4 for "picking and packing".

Does anyone actually pay £4 a go?! I have a plan with tesco that I pay for with clubcard points (they're tripled, so I'm paying about £1.20 worth of points per month and get at least 4 deliveries), when I was with asda I think it was £24 for the entire year.

Yes I expect many people pay as they dont fit the profiles for who the discounts are aimed at.

On the subject of plastic an update.

So its about to get even worse, multipacks which are made easier to pick up due to plastic wrapping it seems are about to become loose items.

Tesco are now going to not have their drivers bring the food in doors, the decision to go bagless I think is about to explode in their faces.

Im not surprised  they arent bringing orders indoor in current circs and its the right decision.

Iceland still use bags and Morrisons are reverting to using bags.Not sure about Sainsburys...That makes it easier to leave stuff at the door so thats what Tesco should do. I put a note on door" please leave bags at door-ring bell r knock- No need to wait".... totally contactless

Ive had deliveries with  no bags, its no problem at  all
