James, Thank you for the update. With the feeling in the community running high on this can you get the agreement amended so that no one will be allowed to trade Christmas trees on goose green, not just tree amigos ?

This is similar to something a tailor said to me years ago, a suit for a child costs the same as a suit for an adult as there is just as much work involved and the material cost is negligible, you can choose to get something tailor made or shop at primark Same principle when making a cake I guess, shown clearly on shows like extreme cake makers, so I've heard 🤐

Forgive me for asking this snoopy but this is your third negative post about staff / sainsburys in general which shows you have been there multiple times recently. Question is Why ? (As in why are you continuing to shop there!) If I was in your shoes I would shop elsewhere Totally get your complaint above as it's not a nice thing to have happened so don't take this as a slur on you, it's more understanding of your motivation to continue shopping there

Of course it's going to happen that people incorrectly put stuff in bags to cheat the system, it's the same mentality that was in place with the bendy buses, if no one sees you not paying then it's not a crime and the risk of getting checked is so low that people will do it. Seems that the self scan and pay concept is not something that the honest amongst us is going to not misuse 🤔 Sadly that's human nature Years ago there were local grocers everywhere that used brown paper bags or newspaper to put customers fruit and veg into before putting them into the customers own bags and then came supermarkets who pushed them, the milkman, butchers and fishmongers into a virtual state of non existence , all for the sake of convenience and in so doing increased the amount of plastic waste we all had (plastic bottles rather than glass, veg pre packed in plastic and so on) Maybe we need to turn back the clock, use local businesses rather than the multinationals. It may not be convienient (paying in different stores, not getting everything under one roof...) but there are advantages 1. Keeping more of your spend in the local community 2. A sense of community rather than a faceless organisation 3. Businesses who know and love their products and who can advise on how to use it 4. The ability to reduce plastic use 5. Potential for less food miles (if it isn't in season then you may not get it ) 6. Less driving to large shops outside of the town centres (less pollution too) 7. Local employment guaranteed rather than centralised distribution centre employment possibly out of the area 8. Less food waste (no more perfect fruit and veg that the supermarkets think sells and return to misshapen fruit and veg full of flavour) I know it's a dystopian dream and yes it harks back to the good old days of the pre 90s and more local businesses will have to reopen as a result but if people are not satisfied with the likes of sainsburys, Tescos and so on then don't whinge on forums like this but create a ground swell grass roots movement and go back to shopping in local smaller businesses, use a milkman again, demand will be met if it's there Ps in the 60's to 90's all milkmen drove electric floats ... With the use of glass , home delivery and electric floats, where they ahead of the game and environmentally friendly only to be virtually wiped out by supermarkets greed !
