disabled cousin not receiving receipt with shopping
Options

Posts: 3 Newbie

my cousin is housebound and does not have a computer. He orders his supermarket shopping from Sainsburys over the phone from his local store every week.
Every week he asks for a receipt and every week he doesn't get one. Some of the drivers go back to the store and return with one, but only rarely.
He never knows how much he is charged.
Is this legal? Can he do anything about this?

A few don’t do receipts anymore.Tesco and Ocado for example. They only email it to you.It’s a shame they don’t have a system for people that don’t use a computer though, could you order it online for him? You would get a receipt every week that way xI’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Competitions Time, Shopping & Freebies boards, Employment, Jobseeking & Training boards If you need any help on these boards, do let me know.

What have tesco's said about it?
Have you tried the mgmt or head office?0 -
When shopping with self-scan in an actual supermarket you are offered whether you want a receipt or not.
So in supermarket's eyes normal not to have one unless you affirm that you do.0 -

thanks for your comment.
Sainsburys will not give him the contact details for their head office or any senior staff.
i have also tried to contact them by email without success and also tried telephoning them myself but they would not speak to me as I am not the customer.0 -
Give him these details:
Phone0800 636 262Monday to Saturday 8am - 8pm and Sunday 10am - 5pm
If he's still not happy then he should find another supermarket.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.1 -
thank you so much for your help. My cousin will be delighted.2

Also if you can get onto Twitter, sainsburys have an account there and it's staffed every day so you could send them a message and ask them to help. That's public too and they don't want bad publicity so hopefully that will trigger some action.
Is your cousin registered for Sainsbury's assisted shopping scheme? Details below -
https://www.helpandkindness.co.uk/service/181/Sainsbury's-Assisted-Shopping
All he has to do is register and then they will hopefully be able to offer a better service than he's been receiving to date.
I hope this information is helpful.I am a loyal and regular Sainsbury's online shopper myself.
