pandarilla Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Actually at the till? Never seen that; strikes me as a bit much. I'm sure they'd get more donations out of guilt, but I'd think people would be less likely to donate to that charity in the future if they'd felt pressured. Closest I've seen is at the front of the store, which seems OK. You've never seen bag-packers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 You've never seen bag-packers? Didn't believe there were tea baggers until I heard about bag packers. I may never eat again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Charity bag packers? Never even heard of it. Which supermarkets are these? Er...all of them. Except your lovable minky ones like lidl. And before anyone takes offence I did a cracking big shop in aldi today. I saved that much that I had a semi all the way home. I love norpak I do. The spreadable kind obviously, I'm not an animal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 November 1 appearance for Ramsden Cup holders and the team they beat. OKEY DOKEY, so why are you looking for results in August? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 No Scottish Cup results on BBC web site but Thurnby Nirvana, Badshot Lea results and the rest of FA Cup Qualifying Extra Preliminary Round are. Nothing unusual. Absolutely dire. Didn't even know the preliminary round was on today 'til I read your post. Any suggestions for websites that actually give a shit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 OKEY DOKEY, so why are you looking for results in August? Don't you just hate it when middling teams get a wee bit of success and start playing the high and mighty?

I saved that much that I had a semi all the way home. I love norpak I do. The spreadable kind obviously, I'm not an animal. I do the shopping at Lidl, Tesco and Asda, and occasionally Iceland/Farmfoods. Never seen or heard of this charity bag packing thing, so I'm thinking it's not made it to Alloa. Is this a recent invention? Because I never remember seeing it in Stirling or Edinburgh either. Don't fancy it much, anyway. Next step would be charity bank staff to glare at you when you're making withdrawals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) The unending adverts on Sky advertising the new EPL season. They'd be as well getting someone to just bellow "YOU WILL FUCKING ENJOY THIS!! YOU WILL FUCKING ENJOY THIS" into the camera for 3 mins.

There was one yesterday for a local football team, a man in his mid-40s seemed upset when I didn't want his help to pack my six items. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Charity beggars piss me off in general. The supermarket ones especially. If I felt like donating to a specific cause, I would. In all honesty, I'd much rather adopt a snow leopard, than give a tenner to cancer research. Some idiot recruiter in Aberdeen train station the other week was shocked, when I laughed after he asked if I wanted to 'join up'. He looked even more enraged when I refused his plea for a 'help the heroes' donation, before wandering in to the pub! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty, I'd much rather adopt a snow leopard, than give a tenner to cancer research. I prefer to pack my own bags, making sure the weight in each bag can be supported by the bag and I'll double up bags which these packers never do and of course eggs and bread on the top. i'll put a couple of quid in the bucket if they do not to touch my shopping bags. The most recent charity bag packers I've encountered were one of the Clachnacuddin FC youth teams in Inverness Morrisons, acceptable cause I say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev23 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Absolutely shattered this morning. Wee arsehole of a burd phoned me pished at 3 in the morning to pick her up. When I got there I got a drunken lecture about why I need to cheer up. Now I have work till 9. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
