    I’m afraid it’s the culture of the benifits system and that’s a government fault by both parties,I know people who haven’t worked a day in their life and will never do because it’s cushty who have popped down Devon because it’s cheap as hell now

    Oh I fully understand, I really do. All the best to you and stay safe. It’s easy to be sucked into the manic world that is food retail right now and exhaust yourself mentally and physically. 

    Good point about the availability of the specialised delivery vans, I admit I know little about this service as I have never used it and don’t deal with it.  What’s the earliest/latest slots normally available, maybe these could be extended  an hour or two each end of the day, and have two shifts for drivers? Maybe if most people are off the roads the traffic situation will be much easier, making the runs quicker, so a couple more deliveries could be added each day?

    As I said I don’t have the answers but if home delivery is to be relied on going forward it has to be reworked somehow. 

     

    The vans go out first at about 08.00 but it takes a while to scan and load all the tote box's of coarse. I think the 2nd shift of drivers are out to 21.30,22.00.

    The main problem with getting stuff out much earlier  is that we would have to be picking through the night when all the isles are full of people stacking shelves and pallets everywhere witch makes it slow and difficult to get round.

    Yes, of course. I just assumed that was a given. More online slots should be made available and processed quickly. I think people are finding though that there are no slots, or a long wait for one and having to physically shop anyway, and many online orders are missing the vital things people need

    I work as a picker in Asda.   Manic now as you would imagine, starting at 4 or 5 in the mornings. don't think it's possible to have any more slots as were picking 20,000 items a day in the store as opposed to a norm of probably 7 or 8,000.   Plus we don't have the vans to cover anymore slots, it's not like you could hire any old van to do the job.

    As for keeping the shelves full it's impossible The store opened a 8 this morning to give us a chance, a lot of idiots were waiting outside before six!!!

    Once in they had stripped the chilled section of Chicken, Mince and Pork within two hours.

    Still feeling pretty protected now as the ****** maniacs come charging in as my  wife ordered me a box of latex gloves??

    I'm in full agreement with you, and I say that as a "younger" person. From the media to the man/woman on the street there seems to be this horrible attitude that old people are simply "expendable" in a pandemic.

    Even sadder, the same people that are so dismissive of the older generation will certainly start to care a whole lot more about the virus when the global economy inevitably tanks and they can't afford their mortgage repayments/rent because they can't go to work. 

    We are in a new "me" generation, unfortunately. A lot of people don't know the true value of what's really important. 

    Strange. I was led to believe that it was only us older folk that were selfish and cared only about themselves. Ummm.
