Allotments 4 All

Everytime you use a 'bag for life' at Asda they give you a #green voucher'... schools can then use them to buy eco products.

As the organizer of our eco school group would people be willing to collect them and send them to me if they arent using them themselves????

I will happily swap for seed!

Oh and you need to remind the morons to hand the vouchers over as they dont know what they are!

thanks

Emma

will do, emma, I'll be doing a shop this week  :)

don;'t forget your bags for life - i've had to start keeping them in the car as i always forget to take them LOL ::)

Hi Olive & Manic, it's not officially when you use a bag for life, it's when you take back old carrier bags to either re-use or hand them in for the store to recycle.  I know it depends on how generous each store/cashier is, but that's the 'official' version, LOL
The green goodie bag is a great idea though.

Olive oil,
             I don't shop at Asda but I will put the word about at my wee lads nursery that I need these vouchers for you.

I promise I'll do my best  ;)

I do however have three sainsbury ones you can have

The letter i received from Asda at school said 'when you use a bag for life' you get a voucher. 

The taking bags back is different -  take 5 bags back and they will swap them for a bag for life.

Well that's what is happening in Grantham Asda anyway  ;)

Both great offers 0 even though i hate Asda, I am forced to shop there LOL

Good for you.  I like Asda.  They sell more local produce than the other supermarkets. 

Sorry I havent updated this thread... for some reason our registration online didnt go through so we arent collecting the vouchers.

Little-weed we have a real mix of people working at our asdas - many are great, just not customer services LOL

Did I hear on the news today that a new ecological bag was withdrawn from sale as it was bagged up in 3 layers of plastic wrapping. Madness!

Well said, LW.  Far too much snobbery pointed toward people who work in shops these days.  I too work for Asda - not for much longer though as I've just got another job - and the only problem I find is how bloody rude some customers can be.  They forget it's just a supermarket to buy the things they need and go home!  I'm a cashier and I give a polite hello, assist if I need to and a polite goodbye. 

The 'bring in your own carrier bags and get a bag for life in return' was the first part of the promotion which only lasted until the one millionth customer had been served.  After that, it was switched to 'bring in your own bags and get a green schools voucher' instead.   

Sorry I'm going to have to jump in here!

Firstly I too have been a shop worker on the tils!

Secondly - when asda bring out a campaign that i am eager to get involved in and then the employees are blase and unhelpful then i am quite in my right to be bloody annoyed - to make matters worse after all the promoting i did our school wasnt even registered and asda did nothing to resolve the situation.

I am not having a go at you or anyone else on this forum for being a shopworker or working at asdas - i was merely sounding off about the morons i had come across regarding the green vouchers and quite rightly so!

Customer services these days is getting worse and worse... what ever job you do you do the bloody best you can! Customer services is not standing there with a dumb look on your face not even bothering to help a customer.

hope i have made my point!

When I recently went to Tesco, I asked an employee to help me, she couldn't understand English!! After talking to me in some strange language she indicated that she wanted me to follow her to another employee, I thought he would understand me and help! I spoke to him, he could speak very little english (more than the woman) but still couldn't understand me, he asked me to wait, I waited and waited, I told the lady that I would continue with my shopping (well kind of hand signals!!) I finished my shop, returned to the woman and she shrugged to say he hadn't come back!!
I got fed up of waiting and went to the cashiers.
Turns out they were Polish, I asked how they could employ people who couldn't understand English, they employ them so they can help with enquiries from the Polish people!! But that can't help very much if they can't translate!!
