... to ask for long thin salmon fillets and not square ones?

(you know what I mean right?)

And do you think I'd get it?

Have you ever asked something quite specific of your picker?

I always ask for that and usually get :)

PavlovianLunge · 26/10/2017 20:19

If you don’t ask, you won’t get. You might ask and still not get, but it can’t hurt to try.

I asked for chunky carrots (easier to peel) and got them

You don't think they'd sneeze on my apples to punish me for being a picky bugger then? :o

Wait... what... you can specify stuff?? Well you learn something new every day! Cannot wait for my online batch of green bananas!!

YogiYoni · 26/10/2017 21:19

But why would you? The square ones are better!

FruitBadger · 26/10/2017 21:21

I always ask for green bananas Magic. They're not always green but I don't get ones with brown bits on any longer Grin

I always request small courgettes, and wonder if the pickers giggle at that........

Coconutcreampie · 26/10/2017 21:22

How do you do requests??

lionsleepstonight · 26/10/2017 22:12

Good luck with that!
My supermarket can barely manage the usual list, never mind special requests!

Idontevencareanymore · 26/10/2017 23:54

I've done the picking shopping job (many moons ago) and often had notes specifying products.
It's all about the service nowadays so knock yourself out and go for the salmon!

BrutusMcDogface · 27/10/2017 00:47

There's a little box next to each item when you view your basket on Tesco. That's where you write the requests! Not sure about other supermarkets though.

I often do notes - either to say what subs to get if needed, or to be particular about particular things, or specify weights if that button is not working (sometimes I have to guess the weight of tomatoes say, and I might guess a weight but note that I am looking for 3 large ones).
