If you usually shop for groceries online, you must be aware
of this upcoming change. Tesco has
announced a ban that will be applicable for deliveries and click and collect
orders.
The firm has said that as from the 19th of April,
it will no longer provide non-essential plastic bags or tray liners for
customers buying from its e-commerce
website. This means that you have to be ready with your own bag at your
doorstep when expecting a delivery. During the coronavirus pandemic, the outlet
based in Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire had re-introduced these carrier
bags to ensure the safety of its customers and staff. However, this new
decision has been announced in a bid to protect the environment and reduce
plastic consumption.
Nonetheless, there is no need to worry since Tesco has
reassured its clients that delivery drivers will still bring shopping inside
for customers who are vulnerable, disabled or elderly. However, they will not
enter the homes of people who are self-isolating.
The process will slightly vary if you are opting for click
and collect. When arriving at the collection point, you have to stay in your
car. A Tesco
employee will come to greet you and tell you how to proceed. The supermarket
company did advise to having bags or boxes ready in your car to unpack your
shopping into.
