Has anyone here used Too Good To Go?

I had a chat with the staff at the Morrisons I used, and he said that they stopped doing it during lockdown because they had people screaming at them that the worker hadn't used gloves to put everything in the box so it wasn't sanitary, and they also had one guy pick through the bag and then dump it out on the floor saying it was all sh*t and he wanted booze. 

Be nice to the staff.... they are only trying to help.

I work for a supermarket and we have been told NOT to wear disposable gloves as gives a false sense of hygiene. We wash our hands and sanitise them regularly. I use my own sanitiser as the work provided one stinks.

Still get customers who wear the disposable gloves. They have NO idea that this contamination at its worst! Seen customers touching their face with them, dig them out of their pockets/bags (reusing them!!! ) , wear dirty ones and remove them with their teeth! Then why do 95% of customers that continue to wear disposable gloves pay with cash???  

People that wear disposable gloves as part of their job change their gloves all the time.

My £3 from Costa today - definitely not what I would buy in a million years! Had thought it would be cakes and wraps:

A part of me feels bad for taking them though, I want to tell people that are using foodbanks about it.

For a lot of foodbank users the cost of getting to those stores at the time required won't be worth it, let alone paying for the stale food. Also the risk that what they receive isn't something they would eat or use.

They can google community fridge in their area. You don't need to claim certain benefits or checked like with food banks

Do they actually sell BOL in Costa?  Thats weird however when I got my Budgens magic bag it had courgette labelled Jacks (as in Tesco basic store).

All three of those would have been donated on by me!

ETA Tesco own Budgens so guess that makes some sense!

I asked my Mum to collect for me so if the veggie stuff hasn't already been consumed for lunch I'll happily give it a go! Its not that I wouldn't eat it, I just can't imagine buying a noodle dish!!

Would have still preferred cakes though

Today's offering from Costa, half of which I can't eat:

I've been on the app for 8 days and ordered 6 times, it's just too easy to hit that button!! 2 orders happy with, one was a no-show, one Costa cancelled (by the store) and 2 v meh Costa orders fulfilled; total £13.09 spent.

Since I have been collecting closer to my parents' home than my own it's been easy to divvy up but they are wondering where all this food is coming from!

I don't have a debit card registered on the TGTG app, if I attempt to buy a bag will it reserve it for me while I pay or could someone else "steal" it out of my basket.  I can't see a way to add a card in advance.

You need to add a card and pay for it before hand.

Yes I'm aware of that, thanks, but I can't add my debit card to my account until I purchase a bag so if I add a bag to my basket and then add my card, in the meantime could someone else buy the bag before I add my card details if their card details are already on the app.
