Maybe find the shortest line of linked trolleys and take them for a walk around the shopping aisles. It might cause the supermarket to reappraise their policy in the ensuing chaos!

Last time I turned up at a local supermarket without a trolley token I mentioned it at the checkout (having used two baskets and bought less) and the lass told me I should just have asked at Customer Services for someone to unlock a trolley for me.

We did say we wanted change for a trolley and they didn’t offer to unlock one

Not my definition of “easier” when we went in for a couple of bags of compost but yeah, whatever.

Although I can see ways to change most things on the booking, there is no way to amend this. The online help just links to FAQ and doesn't have a chat function. There is no telephone number or email address to contact.

I thought she might think it was a virus or scam, but, when from the booking confirmation on the web page I forwarded the email to myself, it came from Vueling Airways, so she might have a clue]
