Fair enough.

 

I've got 2 people in their 80's i who i am trying to shop for, 1 is 240 miles from me and the other is blind. I cant get any slots due to selfish cunts that are well able to go and do their own as before.

We'll be prioritising elderly, vulnerable or customers with a disability for home delivery slots from tomorrow (Monday 23 March). If you don't get an email from us today, please come back tomorrow for information on how to contact us.

It's very common, even my parents who are early 60's think if they put any bank details online they'll immediately be robbed.

When I told my dad and his partner I'd ordered a TV off Amazon a few years ago, they looked at me like I was stark raving bonkers. How do you know it's going to turn up? Because it will. What if there's something wrong with it? I'll send it back.

Got an online order in for my dad from Morrisons and out of stock stuff became available closer to delivery so added it. However there was shitloads of substitutions including getting skimmed uht milk, haha, who the fuck drinks that?

You can order food and hygiene stuff from jj foods, collect and deliver. Assuming there's a branch near you...

If anyone uses Prime Now for Morrisons shopping, when you try to checkout it always says no delivery slots available however if you do it just after midnight it gives you the option of slots on the following day.

I know it beats joining the queues but are you a key worker, vulnerable or dont have a car?

What on earth are you taking about? You do understand that by joining a queue you are risking infection? I'm guessing not.

I'll take it youre not vulnerable, a key worker and have a car otherwise you would have said so.

 

I'll explain what I am talking about as you obviously havent grasped the situation. When you book a delivery slot, however cleverly you do it, when they are in short supply, you are denying that slot to someone who is vulnerable. You are making it more difficult for that person to survive. By having your stuff delivered you are not reducing the risk of the virus being spread as someone has to go and get that persons shopping for them, often on multiple trips due to the difficulty finding necessities.

 

There are people all over the country trying to order stuff online to be delivered to elderly friends and relatives who may live 100's of miles away. You are making it more difficult.

 

Your posts paints you as an extremely selfish cunt that is only thinking of themselves and couldnt give 2 fucks about people who are in more need than you. Just think about it for a second. Now do you get what on earth I am talking about?

I thought everybody was at risk of infection too. And, whether vulnerable or not, at risk of contracting the virus and ending up with pneumonia and long lasting health problems. And possibly needing to be temporarily put on ventilation to keep them breathing. 

 

I'm not sure if it's necessarily the most selfish of things to not want to expose yourself to the risk of getting this. 

 

The supermarkets will need to employ more drivers. Which it looks like they're in the process of doing. Maybe they could use normal drivers to deliver orders that don't have frozen items in them.

There are old people going to the supermarket because no-one can get them a delivery slot. Fuck em eh? As long as you are alright. 

 

Clueless thick cunt.

Everybody is at risk of infection and by standing in a queue with hundreds of other people that risk flies up by the thousands. My dad has MS and his immune system is practically zero while my mum (who is one of his carers along with NHS staff and family members) has lots of health problems. If I or any other person in our network get infected, it could make things very, very bad for them. I've had to stop working and being self-employed with currently no prospect of help from the govt with the 80% of wages being covered. At best I can recieve SSP.

 

I've ordered from a local supplier and I will be collecting it with my car as I would rather not stand in a queue for hours worrying about the risk of infection. That is why I stopped my work, after all. Pretty pointless to give it up and then still put myself at risk.

 

I'm sure everyone has their own views on things but @A Red's view seems pretty extreme, to put it mildly.

No I am not, but I am now stuck in the house looking after two kids who can't go to school whilst also working from home. I spent days last week going from shop to shop trying to gets basic essentials such as bread and milk, never mind soap and toilet rolls. By doing this I'm putting myself and others at risk, no?

 

If the madness in the shops calms down I'm more than willing to go to the shops,  but when you have hordes of public queuing outside the local Asda at 4:30am for a 6am opening all ready to empty the shelves, i sorry but I'm going to shop online, like I did before this chaos broke out.

 

 

Oh and also, fyi, not that I need to explain myself any further,  my shopping lists are quite modest, I'm not over ordering, just getting what I need via a weekly meal planner to keep a family of four fed and clean whilst trying to stay indoors as much as possible, you know, like we're being told to do?

Yes, he's talking complete shite. 

 

I've no issue if the supermarkets want to come together with the government etc to put a scheme in place which can try to get deliveries out to the priority groups mentioned in this post. 

 

Also, if I need one or two bits, I'm not adverse to popping in and out of the supermarket as quickly as possible. 

 

But, a bigger shop? Nope. I'll do that online. Happy to wait a bit for it if others are prioritised. But, not overly happy to spend 20 odd minutes walking around a shop when there's a highly communicable virus going around which, if contracted, can lead to even healthy people requiring medical intervention to stay alive. 

 

The suggestion that you're a selfish cunt if you're concerned about putting yourself at increased risk of contracting this virus, and possibly passing it on to your loved one's or others, is probably one of the most ludicrous things I've ever read on this forum. And, that takes some doing.

I've been quite open about the fact that I teach people to drive. Of course I have a car. I have tried shopping in shops and there is nothing in there by the time I get in there. I have tried getting an online delivery slot and have failed every time.

 

I have now ordered some shopping from a local wholesaler who sells to providers and customers. I have also booked a slot where I can collect in my car.

 

Feel free to neg away. I'm done explaining myself to you.

I dont think my view is extreme at all.

 

I'm sorry if your parents are at risk but, assuming you dont live with them you shouldnt be in the same room as them and doing what everyone else does by leaving things on doorsteps etc. Obviously if you do live with them I take it all back and apologise profusely.

 

We all need to keep healthy but remember this is all about the vulnerable people in our society

You often talk about caring for the vulnerable in society and being proud to be a socialist. Seems to me this is only the case as long as you dont actually have to put yourself out.

 

You are at risk queuing, the elderly could be forced to starve or having to go out and queue themselves because selfish cunts who are not in risk categories putting themselves first. 

 

The bold bit sounds a bit tory wouldnt you say?

No. Not at all. As I said, I'm happy to wait while others are prioritised. I'm not happy to put myself in an environment where my risk (and others who I might pass it on to) of contracting a potentially deadly virus is massively increased. That's not Tory. It's common sense. 

 

I'm not arguing my point any further. It's clear. As is the fact that you're talking bollocks. Plus, I've got an online shop to do.

 

p.s. Equating "as long as you dont actually have to put yourself out" with not wanting to contract a virus that may require medical intervention to keep you alive is a late contender for the most ludicrous thing I've ever read on here trophy. Utterly bonkers.

How about the blind pensioner who is stuck in his house? Someone has to do his shopping for him, but like you say the aisles are empty and there are massive queues so the logical thing to do for him is to shop online.  Problem is all the slots are taken by lots of healthy not as vulnerable people who wont give them up. I guess they are more important than him.
