One of those stores had a self service order terminal for the Pizza Counter, not unlike the ones they have in Cafes, which sounds like it might be part of this same drive.
No return for the rotating banana display though 😢
Based on my recent trips you've more chance of getting loose bananas at Aldi than you are at Morrisons. Almost all are pre-packed/bunched.

As an aside why are bananas still being sold in plastic bags anywhere? The sticky labels are a far nicer solution both ecologically but also for the longevity of the fruit.

Wow, this is certainly not what I expected. Some of this stuff actually looks quite nice. That Driscoll's display though is like going back in time with the artificial plants.

Morrisons now going full circle - using high/low pricing and headline deals to get people back in its doors. I know everyone goes for Christmas veg deals, and Morrisons were joint lowest on 5p this year, but 19p veg (and a decent selection) does feel like a new/old strategy. Limited time only too - à la Safeway.

If they start doing leaflets too that’ll basically be us back at 2003 levels.
