To be confused about Sainsbury's delivery slots?

I've been shopping online at Sainsbury's once a week for around four years. At the start of lockdown I was no longer able to log into my account as I'm not a vulnerable person (which I completely understand!)

For the past five or six weeks I've been shopping at Tesco and Asda when possible instead, but today I decided to take another look at Sainsbury's. To my surprise I'm able to see a huge amount of delivery slots for the next week, and I could even order a delivery for tomorrow morning if I wanted to.

Is this a mistake? From what I've read Sainsbury's policies haven't changed and delivery slots should still be available only to vulnerable people. I went on Twitter and saw a lot of vulnerable people complaining (understandably!) that they still can't log onto the site as they aren't on the priority list. So why am I?

Of course I'm not going to use any of the slots, as I'm sure this is a mistake. It's also worth noting that I'm not a Delivery Pass holder, although I probably should get round to it after all this is over!

Anyone have any ideas as to why I'm suddenly able to see all the slots?

why would you feel guilty? Confused

I am booking slots that I need when I see them available. If I can see them, pretty sure anyone in my postcode can access them too, so why not.

Sainsbury's is showing me a lot of options now, and Tesco has the odd few slots available.

Sainsbury's has the benefit of not having an 80 item limit.

The websites say if you can shop in store then you should to allow more vulnerable people to shop.

It's up to you and your own moral conscience what you do with that.

I'm on shielding and have finally got to the place after 6 weeks of getting a slot a week.
