Re: Shopping for someone in isolation

Both of the cash machines outside our Tesco were out of order this morning. Presumably they were empty and no-one had come to fill them up when we were there.

Never mind cash machines ..... Morrison's is already encouraging shoppers to pay by card or smartphone in a drive to reduce the exchange of dirty money.

Unfortunately, our nearest is inside a local store which is closed overnight. We get our groceries on line but the delivery today was short of a few things to we took a taxi to the nearest supermarket. That too, was out of a lot of things.

You pay with an apple


Going back to your original post, we've had two different people offering their services and I must admit I thought the same - how to pay them if any shopping was needed. I never have anything more than £10 in my purse. Always pay by card (which I'm sick of squirting with antibacterial along with the Nectar and Tesco cards and any other cards they've been next to in my purse )

One of the people I would trust as she lives in the close, but the other, I have no idea who they are.

Yes, I wondered the same.
Sadly there will always be those who use bad situations for their own gains.
