Tesco slots for the vulnerable!!


Martin56

Recommended Posts

I had an Email out of the blue from Tesco saying the Government had contacted them to say I was Identified as one such person.

We got an 8 hour slot & our shopping will be here Sunday between 19:00 & 23:00.

They'll also send another Email an hour before it's due. ?

Morrison's however, who we use almost to the exclusion of the other big rivals have sent no such message!! :thumbdown:

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Iceland is also prioritising deliveries for the over 70's, which is a big help for those that can't safely get to the shops - although of course, it also helps them because they capture a section of the market that has until now been reluctant to embrace on-line shopping.

My shopping is getting a bit frustrating because I can't book a slot and by the time I finish work and get back to Kidderminster, a lot of the fresh salads, vegetables and fruit have been stripped.

Obviously I'm not alone in having difficulties because there are a lot of other people in the shop when I'm in their that have also clearly just finished work.

All,

Our "essential business" are all adopting a policy for seniors.  They are opening Tuesdays and Fridays at 7 am. There is an age door check  and your temperature is taken. They are using the things they just roll over your forehead. The major benefit I've noticed is that old gits do a much better job of social distancing.

7am ! Our first bus dorsnt come until 8.30! Bloody americans and their v8 disabled buggies!

 

I miss roast chicken ,were out!

I may vacuum seal frozen stuff from now on we are finding lots are getting freezer burn ,removing the air should get round this once we start accumilating again.

Despite goods being frozen on being bought its not for long time storage so it dries out because the bags have air in ,perhaps they should pack it in nitrogen or some other gas ?

The -18 recomended temp is only for about 3 months i believe.

After our first 5 weeks of no shopping we have now emptied all but 3 loaves of bread from one freezer but the other two a topped up to the max except chicken,boiled bacon today yum

Chesters1,

Some things we do pretty well. Free private transportation is available to and from , at any time day or night, darn near anywhere you want or need to go. Proud to say all Yanks are not arseholes. It doesn't show well in the news but our sense of community is hanging on pretty well.

Some of it is funded by groups and they contract taxis usually found at the airport - Haven't been but I guess the airport is like a morgue.  My grandson is using my pickup as there is no way they will let me out of the house to help cause I wouldn't be any help.
