Don’t bag it!

I SUPPORT the Mail’s campaign to eliminate e single-use plastic bags. However, there remains one area where a massive quantity of these bags are still used: home deliveries of supermarket groceries.

I am a picker for a leading supermarket and am frustrated by the number of single-use bags we are told to use. Each delivery is packed in a plastic crate transported from the supermarket to the customer’s door, so the bags are used only to transfer the shopping from the front door to the fridge in the kitchen. Their useful life is less than one minute.

Name and address supplied. THREE Tesco shopping trollies have been dumped in a ditch in my village. I phoned the head office to report this. I was told they might record my conversation. I was told about their privacy policy, the stores’ opening hours and that they could not guarantee their 25 per cent offer on all their wines. I was given six options about placing an order. At that point I gave up.

It’s not just Tesco — every organisation you want to talk to hides behind recorded messages in the hope you will be put off.
