You put your food in the seat of the trolley? Why?

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 07/08/2015 16:50

That biscuit. The last refuge of the witless

My son does. He has autism. He finds the noise of supermarkets overwhelming. He feels secure in the trolley. It distracts him. He plays with a tablet in it and I put the shopping round him. He's 8. I don't care one iota what you think, you judgey arse.

Ok then. Thanks for sharing.

As opposed to sea gulls shitting on the trolleys outside?

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 07/08/2015 16:51

No. The higher up Trollies. Half size

The food has been in far worse places - the floor of chillers/warehouses aren't exactly hygienic!

msgrinch · 07/08/2015 16:51

If this is your main, trolley related concern, I think you'd be shocked to see what foxes/birds/cats/dogs do on and near them.

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 07/08/2015 16:52

how long can you keep using a trolley though biscuit ?

OP posts:
WineIsTheAnswer · 07/08/2015 16:52

Because minus the clothed bums of toddlers those trolleys would be so clean and hygienic. Hmm

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 07/08/2015 16:52

Seagulls? Not here

MishMooshAndMogwai · 07/08/2015 16:53

It would take over a week for us to shop if dd walked round. No thanks.

Keep your food in the packets, your head out your arse, your business out of my trolley and we'll all be happy Smile

teenagetantrums · 07/08/2015 16:54

Well you do know that rats, birds and other wildlife play in those trolleys at night and they are never cleaned, well at least not in the supermarket I work at. I don't like children sitting in the trolleys as its dangerous seen a few stand and fall out and crack their heads open, thier parents always try to blame supermarket of course.

MaryBerrysEyelashes · 07/08/2015 16:54

I can tell you ALL put toddlers in them. So uncouth.

OP posts:
HeffaLumpers · 07/08/2015 16:55

Of course supermarket trolleys are wonderfully clean things, kept in a sanitised environment ready for your shopping. Oh no wait, they are left in the rain, in a car park so anything you are going to be eating that comes in contact with the trolley you should be washing so it is irrelevant how many kids sit in the trolley. YABU

PresidentTwonk · 07/08/2015 16:55

Trolleys are filthy, food is packaged. Supermarkets are filthy, people sneeze and touch the packaging (if you're lucky). Children are everywhere, animals are everywhere, adults are everywhere, the world is filthy but a bit of grime does you good, keeps your immune system in working order Grin I couldn't care less where kids sit in a trolley, to be honest I'd rather them in a trolley than racing around where I'm trying to walk.

msgrinch · 07/08/2015 16:55

I don't own a toddler so no, you are wrong.
