We have mentioned this to store colleagues over the past few months more than once who can only shrug and look mildly confused. Nowhere on the packaging does it suggest it can be on ambient shelves in store. It does make me concerned about your cold chain…

Hey @AsdaServiceTeam! Removing benches from your collections and returns points is extremely unhelpful for your disabled customers! Especially considering how long you can wait for your parcels to to be retrieved by your team…. This is Byker Newcastle

Today’s reason for being late to my lecture: I can’t cross the road opposite uni because there are about two dozen dockless bikes obstructing the dropped kerb. @CamdenCouncil what is your process for keeping pavements clear of bikes? And would you agree it isn’t working?

Hey @nationaltrust why don’t you mention the AMAZING playground at Fountains Abbey in the description in your app? We nearly didn’t risk it and little one would have missed out! It is absolutely worth highlighting in your family facilities section.
