I've seen it on seemingly random things dotted all over the store - pitta breads, egg fried rice, frozen Yorkshire puds, grated Mozzarella cheese.all new Phil wrote:Potatoes now sporting the new logo.
Well, the packaging. Not the actual potatoes.
I personally can't wait until it reaches the milk. It can't be long now.
You'd be suprised- I remember when Tesco changed their logo back in 1995, they didn't change the logo on the carrier bags until 1997! It could be years until the new logo is fully rolled out. I know Sainsbury's still have some product with the old logo on, even though it's been 8 years since it was changed,rdobbie wrote:You'd think they'd start with the really obvious big-selling things like milk, baked beans, carrier bags etc.
But the chances are that they have massive stockpiles of the labels for best selling items like milk, baked beans and probably a warehouse full of the carrier bags. Most companies prefer to use existing supplies rather than just throw them away.rdobbie wrote:You'd think they'd start with the really obvious big-selling things like milk, baked beans, carrier bags etc.
If Morrisons had any sense (which going by their amazing banana display system they have plenty) they'd use the opportunity to become the first of the big 4 to ditch carrier bags all together. However Morrisons seem to be the least environmentally active supermarket compared to Tesco with their green clubcard points and sainsburys with their frighteningly thin new bags.StuartPlymouth wrote:But the chances are that they have massive stockpiles of the labels for best selling items like milk, baked beans and probably a warehouse full of the carrier bags.

Ugh, it's not so much the thickness but the shitty way they hold together. I had 4 bags on my walk home the other day and 3 of them split down the seam. Recyclable bastards...Hymagumba wrote:sainsburys with their frighteningly thin new bags.
Good luck finding one without one.all new Phil wrote:those without the tartan trolleys anyway.
The worst thing that can happen is when you're in the queue and see someone clutching a receipt RETURNING to further sully the already miserable experience for everyone!Gavin Scott wrote:Good luck finding one without one.all new Phil wrote:those without the tartan trolleys anyway.
This might sound a little eco-unfriendly, but I get quite pissed off with folk who refuse a poly bag and then spend twice as long trying to wedge things into the world's smallest back-pack like it was an event on the Krypton Factor.
It wouldn't be so bad if they'd take the damn things off their back before they got to the head of the queue.
Similarly read: money/card/wallet out of pocket and purse out of handbag. Stupid sods.
Your perception of time passing may slow down in stressful circumstances. You'll still be the fastest one there.Sput wrote:Gav: I'm always acutely aware of people waiting and find that my ability to operate a carrier bag under such stressful conditions quickly deteriorates.
And once you've been to a particular supermarket and had their bag burst on the way home, you're most likely to use two at a time, one inside another, the next time you visit the same place, thus completely buggering any attempts at saving plastic and, therefore, the planet.Sput wrote:Ugh, it's not so much the thickness but the shitty way they hold together.

I had that EXACT thought today. The worst part was one of them was already inside another and the outer one burst too! Morrisons bags, on the other hand, are built like tanks.Nick Harvey wrote: And once you've been to a particular supermarket and had their bag burst on the way home, you're most likely to use two at a time, one inside another, the next time you visit the same place, thus completely buggering any attempts at saving plastic and, therefore, the planet.
