Random ramblings. CompSci student many years ago. Mainly tech / cars / driving stuff.

Another @AldiUK shop, another lucky dip of rubbish packaging.
Yoghurt lids not glued properly and 3/4 leaking (although no cracked plastic like normally happens).
Chicken soup that must have been dropped in the shop. Smell and leakage coming from that one.

[Adam Cadman @Cadderaddz]

Hey @AldiUK, more rubbish packaging this week. Or lack of packaging maybe, as the lid was missing off one of the cheesecakes, with crumbs everywhere.

[Adam Cadman @Cadderaddz]

Hey @AldiUK, it’s happened again! There were a few on the shelf with food trapped under the seal and thus, already burst. Thought this one was ok, but got home and could smell the leakage. Looks like I’ll have to find an alternative shop. Can’t be going back with stuff every week

[Adam Cadman @Cadderaddz]

Every time I go to @AldiUK there is always some damaged packaging on the shelves (I tell staff where I can) but often end up bringing meat, fresh produce home that is no longer air tight. This weeks full shop includes the “specially selected” salad in usual budget packaging. 1/2

@askAldireviewtm Scammer

[Adam Cadman @Cadderaddz]

@AldiUK But happens so frequently I’d be going back several times a year. I don’t have time/money to be driving to store for special trips. I do a big shop to last 1-1.5 weeks. Wouldn’t mind if it was a one-off. Either your packaging is cheap rubbish or storage is poor, crushing products

I pack bags very carefully & this salad was actually at the top of the bag with nothing crushing it. Turns out there’s a piece of carrot in the [not] air-tight seal. I know Aldi will say to return it to the store, but I don’t have time returning each week after doing a full shop.

[Adam Cadman @Cadderaddz]

Looks like it’s time to get an @AmexUK card for future purchaes, after over 10 years with my @Barclaycard and the only time I wished for support with faulty goods, I get told they won’t help.

[Adam Cadman @Cadderaddz]

Hey @AmazonUK, I didn’t realise you are now the 4th emergency service and delivery drivers can use the motorway hard shoulder! Did you get special permission from @NWmwaypolice and @gmptraffic for the #M60? https://t.co/CtTvcjCubZ

[Adam Cadman @Cadderaddz]

Well done @TalkTalk. You managed to send begging letters to my new address to get me to stay after moving. But you sent the returns bag to the old address to return the router - after specifically asking for the new address for this purpose. Then threaten me with a £50 charge!

I’m getting old. Things used to have different names like tweets and twitter! Now it’s just an X… #MyXAnniversary

@HalifaxBank Can’t even create the payment link now. Are you sure you have no issues…

[Adam Cadman @Cadderaddz]

Helpful when trying to pay your @HalifaxBank credit card bill from a debit card…
Entered all the details, pressed submit and then…

[Adam Cadman @Cadderaddz]

@HalifaxBank But when you go to make a debit card payment for a credit card in the app, it just creates a payment link and takes you to your browser. So no, it’s not the app that’s the issue, it’s your payment website.

[Adam Cadman @Cadderaddz]

Thanks @AldiUK for making sure that some of your packaging fails every week without fail. Usually it’s the raw meat or cooked meat packages that fail and leak or allow the food to go off. This week it’s the yoghurts that wouldn’t “snap” and break off as normal…

[Adam Cadman @Cadderaddz]

Thanks for wasting time with this @Jaguar & @WriskHQ…

First day at Crowdstrike, pushed a little update and taking the afternoon off ✌️

[Adam Cadman @Cadderaddz]

@Barclaycard No, issue is not resolved. Not helped by the painful chat facility. Due to you swapping card from freedom to rewards. Sent new card (not arrived, but Apple Pay updated automatically) now online purchase failed due to old card not working. App only shows last 4 & PIN. DM sent.

[Adam Cadman @Cadderaddz]

@Barclaycard app chat is shocking. Do the developers even test it before releasing it?
Text box only shows one line, isn’t scrollable & doesn’t expand as you type.
If colleague starts typing or sends msg, the text I’m typing & send button disappears. Losing the whole message!

The chaos of baggage reclaim at T1 where all from T2 have been brought to, only to be told their luggage has gone back to T2 and have to make their way back there @manairport , not a single person to tell you anything
