York Asda unveils new online shopping plan (From York Press)

Goody goody. Drive thru; eat in-car; throw rubbish on verge. Doesn't seem too original.

Obviously you haven't got the first clue about click and collect!
Don't think people are going to sit in their cars and eat a weeks worth of groceries and throw the rubbish out the window....

how lazy do you have to be? ...
that at some point in the day or free time you have , you can not walk from your car into the store? ...i didn't realise how hard that was ..
instead you drive to the store and sit outside in a queue of cars waiting for your order in the car park

Are you really as stupid as you sound? My wife and I work and have kids, if we choose to do our shopping at the weekend that's a whole morning or afternoon. Click and collect takes an hour on an evening and I can then collect on my way home from work. I will be enjoying my weekend whilst you battle your way down the aisles and through the checkouts this weekend, moron.

a lot of people have kids and jobs .. they manage .. and for taking a whole morning or afternoon i don't know how many trolleys your filling
and to be fair i wouldn't call it a battle down the isles slight exaggeration
no need for the moron comments either..just because you have a fat head doesn't mean you can take it out on others

Couldn't agree more!!

In my day, I used to enjoy some quality time with my Dad on a Saturday morning whilst Mum nipped out for an hour to do the shopping. We used to get up to all sorts, away from the "don't do that" watchful gaze of my Mum!

Nowadays, its seems that a trip to the supermarket is more like a family outing judging by P3ter1 as clearly he and his wife must be joined at the hip!!!

Pardon me for interrupting the squabbling but there's a point to this story.

Supermarkets lose money on home delivery of every online purchase.
Obviously ASDA are trying to reduce that loss by passing it on to the customer and dressing it up as "drive-thru" shopping.

So Stroppiness, it is all a women's job then. I do not know if you are married but if so hope you have a more modern outlook on life. Get the tea on woman I am watching TV

click-and-collect online shopping is hardly new in York....Tadcaster Road Tesco has had it for a while now hasn't it?

Oh dear me ! I do seem to be rather out of touch. You're absolutely right! I have no idea about "click and collect" Normally I go into the sort of shops which are run by people with whom one might engage in some sort of social intercourse. As for your final point, judging by the amount of junk liberally distributed on the roadsides of the UK, it seems that people do just that. However, so as not to disturb your composure more than is absolutely necessary, I promise not to comment on matters about which I have no knowledge in future. Would that others did likewise, though if they did the comments on this site would be rather bare.

Must be music to the ears of the fat and bone idle. What could be better than waddling to the car, fags and burger in hand and getting replenished with lardy supplies.

How is this any better than ordering online and having it delivered to your door?
If your going to drive to the store and wait to get them, there is no point to it.

i thought the same until i had an epiphany moment. What if... you were driving PAST the supermarket doing your daily routine and called in for your pre-packed bags of sugar puffs, mellow birds and multi packs of viscount biscuits, thereby negating the need to wait at home for your order. I'm not sure if I've understood this correctly, there must be a catch...

I'm living in hope of York gettng a pedal through version.........

Funny just how often the 'modern outlook' term gets thrown around when it comes to what is traditionally seen as "womens work", but when it comes to cutting the lawn or washing the car suddenly the "modern women" have dissappeared. Yes, a lot of modern families have both husband and wife working full time hours so the traditional stereotype of a woman being in the kitchen should not apply in these situations, but there are many women out there who would happily stay at home doing "womens work" and looking after the kids whilst the husband makes money so the wife can provide food for the family. At a job last year, a female colleague who was only 20 years old said to me she actually wanted to do just that rather than be stressed juggling a job and any future children she might have - and she said that doing "womens work" like that and putting a meal on the table would give her satisfaction because her work is keeping the family healthy.

I think a balance has to be had here... some people would rather keep to tradition and some would rather not; the only people I would critisise are those (mainly girls) who think they're going to grow up and marry somebody like a professional footballer or a rapper and then spend all their money on shoes, fake tan, diamonds, and tiny dogs.


As for the drive-thru shopping, a proper evaluation can't be made until it is in place... but I'm expecting main routes through the car park to end up being blocked by waiting cars being driven by somebody who is probably spending half an hour in a queue when they could instead be spending that half hour in the shop picking up the stuff they need and getting exactly what they want (ie, longest expiry date, best looking produce etc)...

Hahahaha intercourse.

I think its quite absurd. People can be obscenely lazy. But I suppose those with a full time job and children, I can understand how they'd benefit from it.
