A big thank you to FreshChoice Half Moon Bay from the Manukau East Shopping Shuttle

Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS), acknowledges FreshChoice Half Moon Bay with heartfelt thanks, for their valued donation of $150 towards the facilitation of the Manukau East Shopping Shuttle.
Run by volunteer drivers and volunteer companion shoppers, the Manukau East Shopping Shuttle is a door-to-door community shopping service for people who can no longer drive a car, have reduced mobility, or find it difficult to use public transport and/or to get out-and-about.
Considered vital by those who rely on the service, the Manukau East Shopping Shuttle, also helps to eliminate feelings of isolation, loneliness and lack of independence.
Thank you again FreshChoice Half Moon Bay. Your local community salutes you.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.
