hello,
yesterday when i went shopping with my husband and four children who are all under 4 i couldn't find a shopping trolley with a double seat so needing two i had to make two of my children walk around getting bashed by everyone else who was shopping. when i asked the customer service advisor he informed me a store of that size (extra) only had to supply 2 double trolleys for the whole store!!! Shock !!!!
so on we went with great frustration as the kids pick up everything they see asking "can we have this" so it takes twice as long!! Angry
at the end while we were packing the shopping one of my children went missing and after looking for a few minutes a kind member of public brought my son to us from outside in the middle of the road. not only could he have been run over and killed but could have been taken but god know who!!
still the customer service advisor did not see this as his problem and couldn't have cared less, he even suggested it was unusual to have twins and four children over all and went on to say they should have been on rains!!!! Angry by this point i was very distressed and making a fool of myself Blush
is it unreasonable to ask for a trolley with two seats? !!!!!!!!!!!!!

views please xx

Irritating but hey it's not my own personal supermarket.

I have had this happen to me, so it does happen.

This supermarket was not prepared for its customers, whatever the OPs minority

Online shop.

agreed myhouseisnotamess - I did not really have any interest in a heated debate about a trolley, or 2, my post was mainly with regards to the nastiness on the thread

Welshbyrd a few people have said that they have been to the supermarket only to find no trolleys suitable for them (or at least none that are available). Thats why people said they keep reins with them just in case etc.

Its not a case of people not understanding the frustration the OP felt.

welshybyrd, it has happened to me (at Christmas) and I had to do a basket shop instead of a trolley shop and go back when it was quieter. Its just tough. I can't blame the supermarket for being busy.
