to think that if i pay to have waitrose deliver my shopping the least they can do is

[fisharefriendsnotfoood]

turn up in a sodding branded van, no a shitty white transit.

I feel more let down by this than the fact that they have totally screwed up the order.
grin

[GrendelsMum]

I'm peering out of the window as I type, waiting to see whether the shopping will arrive in a logoed van or not.

[GigiDarcy]

Laughing like a loon at this! Just had tesco delivery, from bright van logo'ed (sp?) to that hilt! At least I waited til dark

[Sizzlesthedog]

I have a delivery booked for tomorrow, concerned now that it will be arriving in a beaten up old transit van.

[giraffesCantGoGuising]

[magimedi]

I have never (yet) had a supermarket shop delivered.

When (& if I do) I will be disappointed beyond belief if it is not Jesus in the Cabbage Van.

Ai have mai standards.

[fisharefriendsnotfoood]

talc, i feel bad for your shopping

[LaGuardia]

What is Argos?

[TalcAndTurnips]

My shopping is not nearly so lucky as fisharefriend's in its fancy white van - mine has to come home in the back of my car.



It has to face the indignity of sitting cheek-by-jowl with a windscreen-wiping pair of pants; a variety of items of teenage refuse (empty takeaway shite etc.); detritus that survived a tip run and a car boot floor covered in an unidentifiable scree of leaves, gravel and mud.

It can only dream of being chauffeured home, in a professional manner, in a gay mixture of coloured carrier bags in a dashing white Transit.

[NoelOfLorst]

Oh this made me laugh thank you

And I'm dying at the Argos sofa

[fisharefriendsnotfoood]

Smite - exactly, my usual asda van always turns up branded to the hilt, but when i upgrade temporarilly the fecking things is delivered in disguise. maybe i live in such a shitty place they only deliver by stealth.

bastards

[pigletmania]

No signage so people know grrrrr getting angry now

[pigletmania]

Yes phantom they are all proper equipped, after all its waitrose, but no signagevsompeople know

[SmiteYouWithThunderbolts]

If only bloody Iceland would do this, then I could order from there without dying of shame.

[ThoseArentSpiritFingers]

I know someone that works for John Lewis complaints, and they had someone last Christmas who refused to accept their delivery because it wasn't in a John Lewis van. And they wanted it re delivered in a John Lewis one. So that their neighbours would know where they had ordered from

[pigletmania]

Neighbours will think its dodgy geezer from the pub delivering stolen food grrrrrr

[phantomnamechanger]

just checking, are these plain white vans refrigerated or anything? If not I would not be happy!

[Aldwick]

Are you my mother?

[pigletmania]

I had the same this week, thought it was a courier as dh has ordered some stuff and out flies a Waitrose delivery driver. Last year their van had Waitrose on it (my inner hyacinth bouquet coming out), but a plain fecking van . My friend weeks for Waitrose will have to grillquestion her about it grrrrrrr

[fisharefriendsnotfoood]

piglet - that exactly, i have been lured by the £75 offer thing and all i get is a bloody white van

[pigletmania]

Shame

[pigletmania]

I know I ordered from waitrose and was and that a plain white van turned up, te same. Aand I spent £75 too

[MrsTaraPlumbing]

Thank you everyone for this!!!
Made me laugh so much.
I drove my van to Waitrose today - Sat morning - I must be mad.
After going round the car park I settled in a no parking area of the staff car park.
One of the staff was there loading one of the lovely sign written Waitrose vans and said to me,
"You do know this is the staff car park?"
I explained that as my van was long wheel base - like his delivery van, I couldn't park in the busy car park today without causing an obsruction, but I would only be a few minutes.

There is never a problem shopping at Waitrose.

I'm very impressed that there is even an option to get groceries delivered in battered old van so our neighbour's don't start to think plumbers are paid to much! Now I winder if John Lewis offer that too!

[jollygoose]

the op is Mrs Bouquet!
