What would you like to say to the chief exec of the supermarkets you use? I'll start ...

If you are going to sell spinach in plastic bags, please at least direct that they are stored in the refrigerated section rather than on the general unrefrigerated vegetable shelves along with the potatoes and onions etc.

Thank you Sainsburys.

NO ONE NEEDS THAT MUCH CORRIANDER

RainBow725 · 04/07/2023 20:23

Please make things in packets/jars/tins that we can open without injury.

Ooh no! I love coriander in a salad.

Where the fuck are all the eggs?!

gogomoto · 04/07/2023 20:27

@veryfluffyfluff

I buy 2 large (loose) bunches a week from the bulk Asian section

GoodChat · 04/07/2023 20:27

PUT THE HEAVY STUFF AT THE START

Smoothiecarton · 04/07/2023 20:27

Please sell more jumbo refill sachets of stuff.

nopuppiesallowed · 04/07/2023 20:27

Dear major supermarket,
Please stop selling fruit and vegetables in plastic bags. Allow us to choose our own and put them in a paper bag.
Thank you

CherryLipgloss · 04/07/2023 20:27

I'd like to request smaller packs of pate. It goes off before we can eat it.

veryfluffyfluff · 04/07/2023 20:27

Please stop moving things

Ooooo I can answer this! I have a co worker who eats half a dozen or more hard boiled eggs daily. He is the culprit, he buys them all.

nopuppiesallowed · 04/07/2023 20:28

And, major supermarket, please can we go back to having a fresh fish counter so we can choose what size of fish fillets we would like?

gingerandsmall · 04/07/2023 20:29

Why would you put one lot of fridges at one end of the shop and another at the other end? Stop fridge segregation!

Looking at you, Morrisons

IForgotOurSong · 04/07/2023 20:30

@GoodChat yes!! Also put the bread at the end just before the check outs

gogomoto · 04/07/2023 20:30

Can we have our fresh fish counter back and deli - Sainsbury's and Tesco

WhatADrabCarpet · 04/07/2023 20:31

If your supermarket doesn't allow your staff to water garden plants then stop selling them.

It breaks my heart to see outdoor shelves full of dead plants.

Promdressproblem · 04/07/2023 20:32

Can we have lower prices plz

OnTheRunWithMannyMontana · 04/07/2023 20:33

Puss off with your increase in self scan checkouts. I don't get paid to scan my own shopping.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 04/07/2023 20:33

what's with all the sushi counters?

OnTheRunWithMannyMontana · 04/07/2023 20:34

*Piss

Sierra26 · 04/07/2023 20:34

I LOVE the increase in more diverse food choices particularly where you see the options reflecting the local cultural demographic (I’m in London and every tesco and Sainsbury’s has a different mix) . But please mix it in to the standard categories rather than having a Polish aisle, Asian aisle, Caribbean aisle etc to make it easier to integrate in to weekly shop.

If I’m buying rice, I want to go to the rice section and have all options there. But instead you have to go to the Indian section to get the really good rice.

I want to buy chickpeas in the tinned veg aisle. Not to have to check there and the Caribbean aisle for the best option.

Same with the good instant noodles. They’re not in the noodles section, but in the Asian section.

Makes shopping complicated and you need to get to know what’s in those specific aisles.

Interested to see if anyone disagrees and why

TakeMe2Insanity · 04/07/2023 20:35

Put doors on fridges!

PilatesPeach · 04/07/2023 20:37

Please do not take payment twice from my account despite me only tapping once then tell me in a blase manner with no apology that it is just a small hiccup after I have waited on the phone for ages to speak to you that I have to return to the store and ask for a refund

Also, Morrisons, where are you getting some of your prices from? Even in Waitrose the big jars of Douwe Egbert instant coffee are only £7.25, (£5.99 in Home Bargains) yet you’re charging £9.25? Behave!

Thank you

And stop with all the other packaging. Household things like loo roll, washing powder etc can be bought loose and taken home in our own containers.

Frozen food doesn't need a bag + cardboard box (most pizzas) or a box half as big again as the product (most fish).

And stop profiteering. We know you're doing it!!
