My blueberries and kumquats keep falling out the holes in the vegetables section of the trolley.

Angry

Why do the supermarkets suck-up to those with young DC? Surely they're not the greatest proportion of society? I think the balance should be redressed and the legholes removed for the majoroity of trolleys.

That is how life should be.

I do not enjoy repeatedly chasing little blue balls of delightfuless around the floor of the shop. And, yes, before you ask, it was my first ever kumquat.

AIBU?

You're going to need a bigger kumquat.

picnicbasketcase · 12/06/2013 22:05

The blueberries should be in a box, not put in the trolley individually. HTH.

PseudoBadger · 12/06/2013 22:05

Your trolleys have a vegetables section?

I balance a basket in that section. Saves the blueberry dilemma.

PseudoBadger · 12/06/2013 22:06

Clearly blueberries and kumquats should be in the fruit section. Smaller holes....

What?!

On line shopping, it is the way of the future.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 12/06/2013 22:06

Ahha, what's my legal stance on this kumquatfupanda?

Do you think I could campaign against the inequality and perferntial treatment?

Get big melons instead, problem solved.

Haha! Stick to watermelons

MacaYoniandCheese · 12/06/2013 22:07

That bit is for your handbag, silly Smile.

usualsuspect · 12/06/2013 22:07

The vegetable section is at the back of the trolly. I think you need trolley lessons.

ShadowStorm · 12/06/2013 22:08

I didn't know trolleys even had a vegetable section.....

Which supermarket do you shop in BTW? I've never been in one that sells loose blueberries.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 12/06/2013 22:08

That's for baguettes, you doily.

Hmm

We all had to do some work training about equality and diversity recently. It was all about protected characteristics.

If your protected characteristic is an unusual predilection for kumquats then I think you should crack on and sue.

Although I don't have veg sections in my local trolleys either, so what do I know?

BlackeyedSusan · 12/06/2013 22:10

is that the back as you look at it, or the back as in the end you push from?

kungfupannda · 12/06/2013 22:11

Bit at the back? Pull out thing?

What alternative universe/supermarket do you all live/shop in?

PseudoBadger · 12/06/2013 22:12

The pull out bit is for the precious dc?

WilsonFrickett · 12/06/2013 22:12

YABU for buying blueberries. £3.99 of tasteless let-down. At least you know where you are with the acidic tongue-thrust of a kumquat.
