Too busy keeping an eye out your window for anyone who crosses the street at an undesignated location, i figure.

No, she (it's a she because she has put her real name on a post in a previous thread - click on her name and you can see the previous posts) means she has one of those yellow Co-Op cards which give you money back because you are a "member" of the Co-Op.


It's a bit like the divi was, back in the day.


Thousands and thousands of people own the Co-Op :)

This is fairly mind boggling then. I?m rather impressed the shopper managed to keep their temper. Or is it a wind up?

I do not, and although I have cropped greying hair I don't think even my best friends would describe me as fashionably dressed.

"Again, I was assertive but polite. I said ?Well, as a co-owner of this business, I?m not happy with it, it makes things very much more difficult for staff to detect and challenge theft. So please could you stop.?


The man continued putting items directly in his calico bag."


I would take this as very close to an accusation of shoplifting.


He obvioulsy thinks you are an absolute nutter, and decided to politley decline the controlling behaviour request.

I've got at least six calico bags from different places.


I wouldn't have thought to describe them as calico, though!


Now calico cats .....

I do this in the Coop and elsewhere including Sainsbury's - I am also a shareholder of the coop btw


Basically, it is alot easier to put your shopping in a shopping bag that you are carrying rather than carry an awkward basket around with you as well as the canvas bag. I asked the staff the first time I did it and they are fine with it. I don't find the baskets easy to carry when I also have my own canvas bag and possiblily another bag too. I wouldn't do it in a small shop but usually I'm just getting one or two items so it's not an issue. It's really none of your business how other shoppers choose to shop frankly.

Oh dear, I think I'm slightly on the side of the op. The generally accepted custom in shops is to use their basket or trolley until you have paid. I can't see how it is more difficult to carry a calico bag + basket as opposed to basket alone.

    • Hi everyone! My partner and I are getting married in France the last week of August, and we’re hoping to drive a van over for the trip. Unfortunately, the big rental companies are proving tricky when it comes to taking vehicles out of the country. We were wondering if anyone here , or someone you know , rents out a van (or knows of any local companies) that would allow travel to France. We’d really appreciate any leads or recommendations. Thank you so much in advance!
    • Only if the fox is in the street or a public place. The council will charge for removing a dead fox from private premises. 
    • There is an application for a Londis store to operate as an off-licence, selling alcohol, vapes, cigarettes and fast food takeaway next to the Charter East entrance.

    • Hi Andrea, thank you SO much for your review and recommendation. It was, indeed, a bit of a nightmare of a transaction but I am delighted we got there in the end before the various mortgage offers ran out. I hope you are enjoying your new home. Also, thank you Sue for the clarification!
