I know this sounds pathetic, but the trolley system at Sainbury's, Dog Kennel Hill is driving me to distraction.

Some of the trolley's you have to unlock for ?1. Fair enough, but they have about 5 diffrent types of tolley.

When you come to take the shopping out and go to retrieve your ?1 from a like trolley you can't not find one. You spend the next 10 mins walking round the car park trying to find a trolley that matches yours so that you can get your quid back.

Even the guys that collect the trolleys think the system is stupid.

I understand the problem completely having done it recently too - but it is just a trolley?! maybe next time pick up a trolley you do not have to pay for (they are still there) then you can leave it at any trolley hut you like when your done?

I know Quids, ain't it great when you have a Friday off and spend most of the afternoon in the pub.

Then back home with a few large Peronis and get all surreal on a trolly thread.

It's what makes Fridays off special.

Cheers.

Quids, I salute you. It's good to know that it's not just me who heads straight to 'langers' after work.

And nice use of the Old English 'wanckered'.

I'm raising a large Peroni in your direction.

And before anyone makes an innuendo, it's an Italian beer, not a suppository.

The one thing that makes the weekly shop bearable is the staff at Sainsbury's. There does not seem to be a high turnover of staff. You see the same people regularly and they are always very polite and helpful. If 16 automated tills means job losses then that is really bad.

I flintch when the total of the weekly shop is revealled, the supermarkets are coining it in. I have tried all the local supermarkets, Tesco, Asda, Somerfield and always gravitate back to Sainsbury, mainly because of the freindly staff. I also find Iceland Staff really nice too.

    • Trees are great - I plant and raise my own and petition the council to look at damaged specimens and plant more - but they need to be tended to when they’re in non-woodland spaces. I encourage all those who have a strong liking for trees to plant them, grow from seed etc. - much better for all than tapping on keypads. 
    • Would they keep until Christmas?
    • As a customer of DKH I have sympathy with the staff but this a matter for their trade union to address. The law states that temperatures in the workplace must be “reasonable”, and adds guidance that a reasonable minimum temperature is 16C for sitting down jobs like checkouts or 13C for physical work like packing and stacking.  The law also states that there must be easily readable thermometers installed in the workplace so that staff can check the temperature. When I still worked, these would be mercury thermometers red-lined at 16C, so staff knew when it was permissible to stop work if they were uncomfortable. However, I always worked in trade union represented jobs. I suspect (but certainly don’t know) that a lot of Sainsbury’s staff these days don’t bother to join the union, so are not protected (please put me right if you know otherwise).  In any workplace, you either take collective action to improve things or just accept the conditions imposed on you. If staff are in a union, they need to take a hand in making sure the union and its reps do their job in representing them.
    • £1,155 now raised. Would be great to get to £1,500 by 17th January when the Crowdfunder will close. His family and friends are hoping to do something for charity in his name...
