THE MADNESS has hit. ? Your Thoughts please
BIZZARE IN BUSINESS.long story.🙄
Went to the only Supermarket in Inglewood.Through checkout to pay. Told not allowed to take trollies outside the shop to carpark.Mmm Sooo bit stunned as unable to carry any weight re age body pain injuries etc and need trolly to aid walking where I normally unpack from trolly to car. etc. THEN AHAA thought maybe this is a late APRIL FOOLS a BADTASTE prank.No.Its apparently the
" NEW RULE".NO SIGNAGE that I saw warning of the "NEW RULE".I asked to speak to the manager.DIDNT HAPPEN.Strangely she didn't appear.NOW I'M HOLDING UP THE LINE.I feel embarrassed annoyed overwhelmed.What to do.? No help offered.Staff obviously trying to do what they are told.
Eventually at my repeated request an employee carried my shopping to my car parked just outside the entrance of the smkt..Not a habit of mine to steal a trolly by the way..WHO DOES THAT anyway and why???.
My other option was to go to my car,get my walker out and transport my bags 1x 1 to the car. I'm in alot of pain/ health issues etc.like many others. .Walker not an option.What shall I do?.
Request the checkout person to empty my grocery items so I can retreive my bags containing my shopping and leave my groceries on the counter Then what try to travel 20 km another day when body allows to a SPMKT that hasn't gone tottally mad and actually treats customers with respect and decency and not aposed to help.
My empathy goes to the mostly great people that toil away there and serve us and have to put up with the forever changing difficulties that goes with new management and people service. So whats next..How many customers fancy trudging bag by bag to their cars.? What of large family shoppers,elderly,unwell injured people. Heres a thought or 2 for management.
DO you want your business to grow or do you want to loose more customers? ..Maybe an employee could be designated to collect the trollies. Maybe some trolly bays put in by N.W. to encourage the few customers that don't to return their trollies to do so.Like other smkts do and have done for years.and
Please Whoever's Stealing the Trollies STOP IT and be DECENT HUMAN BEINGS.Lets not loose common courtesys to others because of the $.
Love to have a reply please from the Management of N.W. SMKT explaining your logic and policy going forward.Thankyou.

Council Meeting for older adults & people with disabilities
The mayor and a slim majority of the newly elected NPDC councillors are keen to see the, “Age and Accessibility Working Party”, a long-standing Council committee, scrapped.
This is not to save the minimal cost of having such a committee. But simply put; it means these councillors believe that older adults and all those with disabilities in our community do not warrant being recognised, respected or treated as people whose voice is important, to them.
On Thursday 18 December (that is, this coming Thursday) at 10am, in the Council Debating Chamber, the full council will have an opportunity to vote, “to Re-establish an Age and accessibility Working Party”.
But we need your help to get it passed. We need you at the meeting to show your support for this committee. This committee is important for the voice of the older person or people who have accessibility or challenges in our community, to be heard.
We have many in examples of what happens when council fails to listen to people with disabilities, resulting in remedial work costing tens of thousands of dollars.
Let’s support those councillors who do support the reinstatement of this committee.
Please consider joining the myriad of organisations supporting older adults and those with disabilities.
If you cannot come to the Council chambers, email the Mayor and inform him what you think. His email is; max.brough@npdc.govt.org.nz.
I hope that we will see you there.
There is parking for just $1 per hour at the YMCA opposite the Council in Liardet Street.
