Supermarket parking

Our local supermarket,s click and collect system requires one to park in one of 4 marked bays and ring the store, who will bring out your shopping. It works very well in itself except that every time we,ve been we,ve noticed someone load all the c & c shopping into the car, lock it then waltz into the store. It seems to me so selfish when the driver could easily go and park in the ordinary spaces to be blocking a space that should only be used for c & c.

I'm in pain from my teeth so I may be overreacting!

Also seems a waste of time to have your shopping brought out to you then go into the shop.
The whole point of C&C in the car park is you don't have to do that.

I wouldn't think it matters, just say - we are the Mondeo 2 bays down from C & C? If staff have to travel far to bring you the shopping I would imagine they will start to police the C &C bays.

I think it defeats the object, they may as well get their C&C from inside the shop. I wonder what the staff that have just wheeled the groceries out think?

C&C in the car park I would think is really for people who are CEV etc and don't want any contact with others.

Perhaps their click and collect was missing something they really needed they've dumped the car there in protest to go and get it from the shop. The shop that claims it has no cheddar cheese, for example. I've often gone "no cheese, no suitable alternative cheese, in an entire fecking Tesco Extra the size of an aircraft hanger there's not a single speck of cheddar cheese that you couldn't put in my order? My arse! I bet if I go into that shop there right now I can find me some cheddar cheese that would do. Probably the exact cheese i asked for in the first place."

They could have just rung the number again.

@Sparklingbrook - They pick and pack your shopping to a list so it's a case of the "Computer says No!" if the item is not on the shelves when they pick it.

I kicked off over my delivery shopping because it kept turning up without milk. I asked them via customer services why had they deliberately taken to picking my shopping before they put the milk out?

I have a friend who is a supermarket picker, I know a lot about it, believe me.

I think this problem OP describes is more in relation to C&C in the car park being invaluable for people who can't or shouldn't go into the shop itself. Nothing to do with missing items in home delivery. Grin
