More Supermarket Craziness

I love the random subs. I actually get quite sad if I get my full delivery!

Vegan Kitkat was out of stock so they subbed a 9 pack of normal Kitkat. That was so painful to have to refuse it as I'm non dairy!

After my husband died I desperately needed a job. I started working at a Tesco home delivery centre. All the subs are dictated by their computer system.
Anyways, one order I doing doing has BBQ sauce listed (I can't remember the brand). It was out of stock. The substitute suggestion was a huge gas BBQ!. The rotten manager wouldn't let me send it out as a substitute. 🤣

I once had a chicken subbed with a piece of cheese, not quite the same in a casserole.

I don't really have substitution issues with Ocado or Waitrose.

I do with Sainsbury's

Tesco and Asda were SO bad I don't bother with them anymore!

I take ages to find vegan food I would like, and I find it irritating when they send non-vegan food instead. It means that I have done a month's shopping, and I am short of things for myself, and my OH has extra!

A bonus point if it’s kept by the customer.

My husband thinks the warehouse staff are having a competition to see who can come up with the most unlikely substitute.

I regularly buy online non-groceries from non-supermarkets/shops but I've only ever ordered groceries online once and was well put off!

From Morrisons I'd ordered almost £100.00 worth of groceries, including 4, 1L cartons of Alpro Nutty Almond milk = £8.40 for all 4.

I was told they'd run out of that sort and would be replaced with something similar ... OK, no problem at all. I was thinking Alpro No Sugar Oat or something like it, Plenish Coconut etc.

When the truck arrived all the items were there but the replacement for the milk was ... a pack of
Always Ultra Normal Size 1 Sanitary Towels Wings 26 pad!

The driver was brilliant and we both had a jolly good laugh when I gave them back to him and explained the situation then I had several calls to them and loads of frustration trying to get the dopey woman on the other end of the line to get me a £8.40 refund and she couldn't understand that milk is NOT ANYWHERE NEAR LIKE a pack of period pads! Eventually and very reluctantly she proceeded the refund!

I still go to Morrisons in person as I have done for years and years but I'm never ordering online from them again!

I was once substituted a toothbrush for a household cleaning item- no idea why.
I told the delivery man it was a mistake and I didn't order a toothbrush so would they take it back? It must be someone else's. Only later when I realised my cleaning item was missing did I realise the toothbrush was a substitution!

Hmm, I do always find the Midnight Blooms variety of disinfectant rather overpowers my cuppa - on balance I'd probably would have picked maybe a different chocolate bar?

But then there's no accounting for taste.

A few days ago - Strong cheddar cheese unavailable, substituted was no cheese at all of any strength or variety. Are Tesco's completely out of cheese of any description? (and no, I had not selected "no substitutions")
