Just remembered - an Asda delivery this week of ironically, cleaning stuff mostly, three plastic crates, absolutely, unbelievably filthy.
When the driver retrieved the crates and tipped them, grit and dirt fell onto the carpet.
They are always grubby but these were disgusting.
What if this had been uncovered food, salad or vegetables?
I probably would have refused them.
Over a number of years I have complained to Asda about 3! different drivers,
in fact I complained about one driver twice! Now its a different driver every time.
Tesco blue crates could do with a jet wash too, drivers are often older and pleasant.
Waitrose way ahead, lovely calm drivers, clean crates, generous substitutions and
immediate refunds from their handset in the unlikely event of an unwanted item.
It isn’t the driver’s fault, they just pick up the stacked, labelled crates, but
clearly describes the attitudes of management, supervisors and staff toward hapless customers receiving shopping in uncleaned crates.
The mystery of why pickers would select shot, yellowed, bendy fruit veg and salad which the reliant customer would not choose themselves will never be solved whilst indifferent managers allow this to continue.
Happy shopping everyone !
