Oh that's a good idea


Well, until a parent like me 'Accidently' rams their fist into your teeth


Then, not such a good idea

In my experience Nette if you use the self service checkout and try to bag up as you go along you immediately get the " unexpected item in bagging area" if you try to use your own bags you get the same as system doesn't recognise extra weight( even if you press" using own bags ?") if you scan something and don't immediately place in bagging area you get it , I've shopped in Sainsburys nearly every day since I moved to East Dulwich and have got it down to a tee (with the help of my 12 year old son,who would qualify as a personal shopper/scanner )I have occasionally answered the phone while said boy has been scanning and may have been fastidious with my packing in my recycled bags , sometimes after spending the day sewing it's the highlight of my day (no really !)(It's the half price wine..) I could send boy over to help you with your shopping/scaning if you like ,he only requires a chocolate bar for helping and you will get extra nectar points as when scanner asks "did you use your own bags ?" He always presses yes and then when it asks" how many" he presses 9 ...has been caught by extra vigilant staff occasionally though...

But generally they turn a blind eye as he is so efficient and he also finds ?8.43/?2.47 etc vouchers off your next shop on the floor ...in fact thinking about it I might start a post on the forum advertising his skills, hmm...

That's just rubbing salt into the wound.

apologies in advance but...I was waiting on El Pibe to say 'Na' : /

Finding out only after signing a petition on a local matter promoted on this forum that in fact my details have been used to create an account on the Southwark LibDem website where I have options to 'join the party', 'help out or donate', receive updates every time they update the site etc, but NOT DELETE MY OWN DETAILS. I can't bear it when people aren't up-front about what they're using your details for.


Have shared my views with the OP already in the ED Gossip section but still seething.

A "food and hygiene" inspector arrives at a local take away establishment... bullies his way through to the back when the kitchen is exceptionally busy... still wearing his rain coat, no special clothing appropriate to the environment and completely disregards any thoughts for safety in the kitchen... all rational you would think...


in response to being politely asked to wait a moment "don't worry I have patience. It's not like I have a job to do"


getting irrational...


in response to my comment "there's no need to make such a comment"... A SHRUG!!!!!

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
