Asda giving pregnant women bottle of champagne

[sparkling123]

Just reading this story, asda driver refuses to help a pregnant woman carry shopping up to her flat. Even more crazy is that they apologised with flowers and a bottle of champagne. Cus this is just what you want when you're 20 weeks pregnant, a gift you have to stare at in the cupboard for the next 5 months... hmm www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-45705896

It’ll be a nice treat to look forward to when the baby arrives.

I wouldn't have said no.

I’d take a bottle of champagne I could drink to celebrate once baby was born over a bottle of squash tbh!

She also got flowers with presumably she can sit and stare at now

I guess I am just being grumpy as I'm due soon and that would seem more like a daunt than an apology

Taunt...

I think that's a nice gift. Put it away for when the baby is born.

I agree, I thought that's a terrible gift!

Champagne is always acceptable.

Just saying, if anyone wants to apologise...

Apologising to a pregnant woman by giving her a bottle of champagne is like something out of a sitcom.

Considering he didn't need to apologise I think he's done a very nice thing.

You know it doesn't go off?

Oh it does. Send it here and I'll dispose of it.

You do also know that a glass of champagne is perfectly OK in pregnancy?

Bloody right he should have apologised, although of course he didn't. His bosses did because they recognised his behaviour was disgusting

Oh Bertrand what have you unleashed!?

Tbh - i think at the very least they should have given her shopping for free. Disgraceful.

"Oh Bertrand what have you unleashed!?"

S'OK-I'm used to being a pariah!

Haha I thought the same thing when I read this. A nice voucher would have been better imo.

When I habmve complained to other places or been given a free gift they usually ask if I want champagne or chocolate. I thought they had to now due to people who don't want or like alcohol or don't like chocolates.

Me, I like both.

I’m pregnant and would happily receive a bottle of champagne!

You're certainly not heavily pregnant at 20 weeks. It doesn't mention wether she said to the driver or not that she's expecting but I would have expected a hand regardless.

I know you can have a glass, but where is the fun in just a glass

Pregnant or not, I'd want a voucher, not a bottle of something I don't like.
