To not want floor wipes in same bag as cakes and ice cream

Received my Ocado delivery today and my citrus floor wipes were in the same carrier bag as my cakes and ice cream. One of the floor wipes pack was leaking slightly. Although nothing was ruined I was charged for 7 carriers and there were only 6. Had there been 7 the wipes would have been in a separate carrier. Should I complain or shut up and stop moaning?

Definitely don't waste your precious time on this earth making a complaint about this

Presumably the cake and ice cream were packaged in some way? Count your blessings that you have time and head space available to worry about such wholly unimportant things.

I would stand in the kitchen and have a grumble and then it would have fallen out of my head by the time everything was away and I'd sat down.

How do floor wipes leak?

MyKidsAreTooNoisy · 04/07/2024 18:45

I’d go straight to the CEO and demand a 10p refund.

Wooptie fucking ping.

You should order from Iceland instead. They don't charge for individual bags.

Lemon ice cream sounds quite nice.

That’s enough internet for me for one day

I have brain cancer and I don't want to get sick from ingesting liquid from floor wipes. I also think other people wouldn't want to ingest floor wipes?

How would the liquid from the wipes get into your packaged ice cream and cakes?

Needmorelego · 04/07/2024 18:48

Sorry to hear about your cancer 💐

SugarandSpiceandAllThingsNaice · 04/07/2024 18:48

I’d request a refund for the leaky floor wipes.

WatermelonKiwi · 04/07/2024 18:49

I'd request a refund for the floor wipes and also whatever they leaked on. Ocado make this very easy to do through the app and have never questioned anything I have had cause to request a refund for.

The cream cakes box was so badly bashed it was open at one end.

Ocado let you request a refund on items that have been spilled on. I would report the floor wipes as leaking and everything it leaked on

Needmorelego · 04/07/2024 18:53

Ok....either let this go and throw the cakes away
or
just request a refund.
It's not worth getting into a giant fuss about.

Ocado pack really badly. I often get fruit or salad in with raw meat packages. I've complained loads but they say they're happy that it's hygienic.

I wouldn't worry about floor wipes/ice-cream/cake though.

OP you should have mentioned your cancer in your OP & your worry about chemicals as you would get more sympathetic replies 🌸

Jutemat · 04/07/2024 18:56

Thread delivers.

Thanks for that but it shouldn't really make a difference. Nobody would want to eat chemicals would they? People on here are quite rude.

I am baffled with some of the responses - are people really saying they would be happy if lemon floor cleaner had leaked from the wipes onto their food?

It is pure common sense to pack food items and non food items separately from each other, isn’t it?
