Ocado slots

For those with the smart pass have you now been managing to get slots?

Just went on their website and wait was just one minute, then I had lots of options for slots.

They seem to have got their act together pretty quickly. Prices seem to be higher though but I think that's the lack of special offers.

Checked Sainsbury's and cant even log in so the same situation there

Please people, step away from your competition as to who is the most loyal Ocado shopper, who is the most vulnerable, and who needs a slot the most.

You are preaching to the converted and wasting your time.

People are terrified, people are dying, people are desperate. The supermarkets are floundering and doing their best. Shouting about it not being good enough with change nothing, and will not get you the slot you need.

Here's what will get you a slot: PERSEVERANCE plus LUCK.

So keep trying, every 15 minutes if you can and into the small hours.

I've had huge amounts of success with this approach. I've secured many many slots for vulnerable people by logging in on their behalf, doing their shop online and arranging delivery to their homes (or click and collect in some cases).

It's safe for them as I pay myself and they transfer the money back to me.

Seriously, this is what will get you a slot.

You can either roll your eyes at me and clutch your pearls, or take my advice! Your call.

No one is competing, but some people asked what classes as loyal and so other people have answered.

As well as prioritising those the government have asked them to, you can't blame them for prioritising those who really rely on them- because they need to run a business afterwards as well.

All those people saying they'll keep using them for now but won't after all this is the exact reason that they have to do it this way.

Some of us genuinely do absolutely rely on them normally for various reasons, not just because of the current situation.
