Bags........?
Supermarket kids !

Of course! Unless you want to use the cardboard boxes left at the side.
You could always bring your own kids and bags. After a few weeks, leave them to it and others will marvel at how well they bag things.

Yes because everything the child wants should be given to them by the parents. That just breeds spoilt little shits who grow up thinking they are entitled to anything they see fit. They are only packing to raise a few quid as already pointed out, if you don't want them to pack then a simple "no thank you" is all it takes, it's a good lesson that a bit of work can go a long way, I really don't understand why it's a problem to a few of you?

They will be singing Christmas Carols in the store soon are you going to avoid that as well?. They have probably spent weeks practising for it and all for what? so you can walk straight past them. Shame on you. One day you will be glad for the help of one of these kids. Give them some credit for once and encourage them it's not hard to do really.
Calm down dears, it's only a rant room .

they will be singing xmas carols soon i agree, the money collected will probably go to a local charity & i have no problem with that , as for this quote "Yes because everything the child wants should be given to them by the parents. That just breeds spoilt little shits who grow up thinking they are entitled to anything they see fit" so how did we do it in the days gone by then? like i said before i never done it & i was in various football teams/boys clubs etc
You either had very rich parents mate or you lived off bread and jam to fund your lifestyle. I had 3 paper rounds when I was young I had no option my parents said if you want these luxury's you must earn your corn. It didn't do me any harm and it taught me to respect others. Nothing is free in this life steve.

:lol: , my dad worked in a factory & my mother worked part time at a petrol station & i was brought up in a block of 152 council flats so you couldn't be more wrong tbh, btw im 49 & we didn't have the supermarkets back then anyway, we used to do sponsored walks ( where you got YOUR family to sponsor you, not total strangers) also i got football boots /trainers for xmas as a present

Bag packing service
Seriously though I do know how you feel but just say no when asked if you need your bags packed,then chuck a quid in when you are done

Who else? Well, by doing these organised fund raisers mate they are paying for it themselves.
Nothing personal honestly mate I'm sure we will agree on other things if you stick around the forum but I honestly can't see the problem with kids offering to pack your shopping for a non mandatory donation, you don't want your eggs squashed, you say no thank you.

you all seem to be missing the point , i aint bothered about the packing, if it was a childrens cancer, Macmillan, nspcc they could pack away & i would gladly donate no problem, dance studios & local clubs, etc have no chance, why cant they do what we did then? go on sponsored walks with donations from intimidate family & leave the checkout "drives" to something a bit more worthy? ( im not taking it personal either mate, been around the forums long enough to know whats what )
