I had to give up on on-line shopping. I have ongoing rows with the different on-line supermarkets for the following reasons that I hate and they don't think are an issue or worse, contravene food hygiene. What they also don't understand is that when they deliver something broken or substituted that I can't have I then have to go our and buy it which defeats my buying it on line: - putting my tins of baked beans in with my eggs - result - smashed eggs and sticky baked beans. - putting my tins of baked beans in with my eggs and raw meat - smashed eggs and egg soaked beans and raw meat - putting my raw meat in with my cooked or cured meat - yuck. Contaminated raw meat and cooked / cured straight into the bin - putting my raw meat in with my fresh fruit - need I explain this one? - putting any tins in with soft things like bread and raspberries in the same bag - we had pink flat bread as a result - substituting my gluten free bread with gluten containing bread - hello? What planet are you on. I can't eat gluten - IT WILL KILL ME - substituting my fresh lemons with a bottle of lemon juice - so makes the G&T's work - substituting my cooked ham for a tin of ham ... I'm not even going to comment - substituting my decaf tea with non decaf tea - no I'm not saying anything - substituting my soya chocolate drink with milk based strawberry drink - substituting my gluten free flour with gluten based flour - ughh I could go on .... On one occasion where just under £25 worth of food was useless as it had been contaminated and went through food handling and hygiene issues over the delivery and the girl on the phone said I was being 'picky'.
Kind Regards Liz Baker thelace...@btinternet.com My chronicle of my bobbins can be found at my website: http://thelacebee.weebly.com/ ________________________________ Whoever came up with the phrase "retail therapy" didn't do the weekly shop, neither are they any larger than a size zero for clothes! <Or you could shop on-line and have it delivered with four giant size tins of dog food in one carrier bag and just a tube of toothpaste in another! It never ceases to amaze me why they can't even up the distribution between the plastic carrier bags.> I do shop on line if I just can't get to the supermarket (DH doesn't drive), and am now glad that they now have the option "no substitutes". Before they did that I wondered at the thinking of the person doing the shopping for me - I wanted fruit shortcake biscuits and got fig biscuits; I wanted plain bio yoghurt for the dog and fruit yoghurt for me - they hadn't got the fruit yoghurt I wanted, so instead of sending another brand, I got double plain bio. <snipped> To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat y...@address.here.
