Paid Members Surf Digby Posted October 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) There was a "share this" post doing the rounds yesterday, supposedly from Asda, saying that anyone caught reusing bags from other supermarkets would be told to leave the store. Â Cue all the idiots with "I'll never shop at Asda again". Â I wonder if I could get one spread around claiming that Morrisons are charging those in the armed forces 10p a bag. A boycott should reduce the queues a bit. Edited October 15, 2015 by Nostalgia Nonce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted October 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted October 15, 2015 Well that's obviously bollocks, considering we've been using Tesco bags for life at Asda for years now. Â Anyway, for your weekly big shop, using the crappy plastic bags is madness. They hold hardly anything. A handful of sturdy bags for life is the way. Â I've become the epitome of Rock N Roll in my parenthood days, as you can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MungoChutney Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 We're all pissing ourselves laughing up here in Scotland.  We've had it for a while and although there was a bit if hysteria and resistance for the first week or so it was nothing like what's going on just now.

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted October 15, 2015 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 15, 2015 I never knew how much I needed contactless before I had it. I feel like such a big shot when I swipe my card over the reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) It's more of a principal thing isnt it for some people.  Yeah its only 5pence, but still, regardless of the price why pay to advertise a store? I'd rather struggle myself. Or you could just bring your own fucking bags with no name on it. Put them in a rucksack for fucks sake. Or, if you want to be all principled about it, why advertise a store when you can carry it all and advertise the store if you've bought their own brand stuff. Yeah that'll show them, I'm not going to advertise your store, I'm going to advertise the products I've just bought whilst I struggle to carry them like a spastic.

Guest Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Shittest 'advert' ever. Downbeat looking man carries ASDA bags! You don't wanna miss out, you can look downbeat too! Or are there people like 'I've never heard of this "ASDA", it sounds intriguing' Edited October 15, 2015 by sj5522 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members GlennCullen Posted October 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted October 15, 2015 Bags for life are 6p, someone missed a trick there. I spent a whole 30p last weekend and now I bag my groceries like a king. A king I tell you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freaky Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I just throw my shopping into a blue Ikea bag. I've been doing that for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Tommy! Posted October 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) I like the bag charge, but you definitely need to sort your shit out and get Contactless payment* in your store. Not having that makes you look proper second rate. Â Â * even though it's a stupid fucking name as your card does actually make contact with the reader. Why not just PINless payment? Mine doesn't. My card doesn't leave my fucking wallet.Just wop the wallet on the machine and bingo. Edited October 15, 2015 by Tommy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted October 15, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) This one's started going round on my feed. Good intentions, but I'm not sure what 'put this on your status for 1 hour' is meant to achieve?    October is Cancer month. In memory of every Cancer patient, family member or friend who has lost their battle with Cancer & in honour of all those who continue to fight, PLEASE put this on your status for 1 hour. Many won't copy & paste. I was proud to. Will you??? Edited October 15, 2015 by HarmonicGenerator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Ah, I've got two contactless cards in my wallet so I can't do that. I could always leave one of them at home but then it feels odd when your wallet isn't at its usual manifest. Â Contactless is at its best for the M6 toll. It's great just pulling up to the booth and pressing the card against the reader and getting back up to speed, it's like a formula one pitstop for tragic cases who post on wrestling forums.

Rey_Piste Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 It's a cock ache when your shopping bill is a few pennies over 20 quid and you can't use contactless payment. Or you've used contactless 3 times in a row at different shops and it won't you use it without putting in your PIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this out last Christmas when I was doing shopping for stocking filler stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
