Yess, absolutely elderlyperson. I don't know how I will manage my click and collect now. The liners enabled me to
pack it into the car boot quickly, then drive to another part of the car park to bag it up. Now it's going to take me, and everyone, ages to pack it into the boot.
I do believe in cuttting down on plastic though, so maybe they could use paper or light cardboard liners?

Tesco has decided to remove the option of having tray liners with online grocery deliveries. So no tray liners in the middle of a pandemic yet with social distance delivery.

I currently opt for tray liners and the delivery driver leaves the trays on the doorstep while I am at an upstairs window and when he or she has gone I go down and get the shopping in, using a number of reusable shopping bags bit by bit so that there is no great weight in each bag. The process takes about 20 minutes and is gentle exercise and I do not rush and as I am retired there is no need to bother about how long it takes. I get my food deliveries so I am content.

I am wondering just how this is going to work when there are no tray liners.

Is there anyone out there who is currently not opting for tray liners who can say what they do for delivery please?

Are there people out there who are currently opting for tray liners who are also now wondering how to cope with this change while the pandemic is still active?
