Well done, Tesco! This will change lives.

Tesco have started to produce and sell diapers for older children and teens.

Something people don't think about, but there's a huge gap in sizes between baby/toddler diapers, and adult inconvenience wear (such as tena) available in the supermarket. Most of you won't know, but there's a "disability premium" on many specialist products. If you have to order from a specialist supplier, it's going to be several times more expensive. These are being sold at a reasonable price.

A lot of parents and kids are going to have a much easier life because of this product.

Though, apparently, not changing some lives too much

This is a good thing which I applaud.

Fortnum & Mason.

Nice. Sainsbury's is posh for me.

Years ago, when I lived in Buckingham, Waitrose was the only supermarket. I seriously miss Waitrose! Tesco has so many peasants...

Not as much as Asda.

Do you still call them greengrocers?

Supermarkets.

Greengrocers sell green shit. A fruit and veg shop, basically. Grocery shops, or general stores, are now supermarkets... if they're big enough. They're corner shops if they're small.

Nice. The way languages change is fascinating to me.

I could listen to that lady say "nappies" all day. nappies.

Size. Six. Nappies.

Truth? I get groceries delivered anymore. I've hardly set foot into a grocery of any kind in years. Though I did have to go during the early days of the pandemic since delivery was effectively halted. It was a surreal trip, like walking though a post-apocalyptic landscape. Everyone moving quickly and nervously while making hardly a sound save the rustling of goods. The raw, undiluted, soundtrack of paranoid commerce. No ABBA. No cleanup on aisle 6.
I went down the frozen aisle to get some chicken breasts....and I grabbed a bag and it... just gave way. The breasts all skittered across the tiles like odd white hockey pucks, tinkling and tangling for like a fucking mile over to the kitchenwares. This old lady turned and gave me the how dare you stink-eye like I was ...what? Throwing some impromptu chicken tantrum as protest? I fired a poptart at her throat like a ninja star, shut her shit down w/quickness. By the time she realized it, I was all the way over in produce.

Anyway, I didn't see any nappies that day. I imagine all these toilet paper-hoarding types had to have a fallback plan.

Good stuff - those specialist suppliers have been taking the piss for too long

Is this their new uniform? Because if it is: Well done indeed.
