As Geoffrey Palmer might say in Reggie Perrin
So the OH did a Sainsbury Click and Collect order on Weds to be picked up on Thursday.
Went to pick it up at the designated timeslot and told him the name for the order as they request - "Order for Mrs Thomson please".
He said "was there more than one order?". Usually she adds a few extra items on after the first order so I said that I guess it is possible as I didn't know if extra items would end up showing as a new order.
Anyway, so he wheeled out the first lot and I was putting it in the boot. Then he wheeled out the next lot and I started putting it in the boot. All seemed our usual kind of stuff. I thought it a bit strange to have 3 loaves of bread - but then misclicking quanties is not unknown by the OH!
Car arrived for the next time slot while I was filling the boot and taking quite a time - I was thinking 'this is a big order' but I was told to take lots of bags so fair enough.
Then the woman in the car behind came up to me and said "I think you might have my shopping?". She was watching me transfer the stuff from the boxes into the boot and thinking everything I was putting in was on her order as well.
So ended up going through all the stuff in my boot and transferring loads over ... "Irn Bru?" "yes". "2 loaves of bread?" "yes". "Basmati Rice?" "yes".....
Told her that if she wanted to invite us for dinner, she could, as we buy everything she does as well!
When the chap first asked me about the order, I couldn't confirm anything as the order details - number and items - I had on my phone as a email, but very unusually, I never picked my phone up when I went to get the shopping so I hade no way of knowing what was wrong or calling home to check anything.
Problem arose as my order was for "Mrs Thomson" and the woman in the car for the next collection was also "Mrs Thomson"! So all the paperwork just said "Order for Mrs Thomson".
Funny coincidence or what!
