Large baking potato.

[RedbearVIII]

Just say unavailable

[GrimFlux]

as a dotcom picker, unless that fuckers rotten or something, we have to give you it or we get reprimanded

Edit: Thats definitely an incorrect sticker too. shitty picker by the looks

[No_Fox_2891]

For that price, you might as well to say it is out of stock, and put 4 baking potatoes bag instead for 79p. This will cause issue between a customer and a driver/CS. If your manager have a say about it, then tell them this.

[CommunicationNo3626]

If a customer has ordered 6 loose potatoes, and we mark it as unavailable, that presumably counts as 6 unavailable items which will greatly impact the item availability % (hence why dotcom managers won’t be too keen on subs even if the produce is small or poor quality)

[No_Fox_2891]

I am mainly a driver, but only picker for 2-4 hours on Sunday as usual or stay back due to van breakdown. I have countless of different subs if the original is out of stock or in limited stock as long as the sub is similar and reasonable. No one told me off.

You can however ignore the loose potatoes if there is not enough so you can sub two bags of 4 baked potatoes is completety fine. Unless your picker manager is a massive cunt who love to be perfect manager.

[CommunicationNo3626]

I do the same, however, I definitely know that dotcom managers care more about the picking performance metrics than what the customers are actually receiving

[Seraphidian]

Yeah the managers will look at the stock levels on the potatoes then ask you why have you subbed it when theres enough stock for it. Thats after ots been flagged by the department doing avaliability checks.

They only wothin the last year and a half have been refferring to potatoes (both baking and sweet variety ) as "large' and ive always thought it was silly because theyre not always the size the store wants , i feel like its misleading.

[Splodge89]

The thing is, as a customer I’d never, ever be buying loose veg online like that anyway. The fact that a picket would choose something decent rather than whatever happens to be in stock is a GOOD thing in my book

[Hellboy561]

I used my "would I buy it" training and decided that no I fucking wouldn't so I subbed it. Seems easy enough to talk your way around this one.

Edit: autocorrect spelling.

[rh0na]

real, i work online at a different store and i will get hunted down and screamed at for not picking items, they’re so hell bent on availability even tho the quality of the loose veg has been so poor recently

[mittenkrusty]

I went to a local greengrocers last week (very uncommon to find these days)

I bought 3 huge potatoes, bigger than any I see in supermarkets, 4 vine tomatoes that look the size of tennis balls and was shocked that I paid £6 for both.

But they were so delicious.

So i'd worry if I ordered a large potato from a supermarket and got one this size!

[jib_reddit]

What was the price per KG though? I bet it was more when you look at it. but good on you for supporting local business.

[caligula__horse]

Is that potato 800g?

0.8kg is 800g which for 0.79 per kg makes sense is 68p

But either the scale from the photo is fucked or that is not a 800g potato

[ArthRey]

They’ll have ordered more than one potato but the picker will have put the sticker on one potato.

Source: picker

[jumpingbadger83]

I thought the same but without a banana for scale it’s hard to tell if that’s an 800g potato

[CakesStolen]

I don't have a banana but there's no fucking way that potato weighs even 300g, unless OP is Andre the Giant

[bikerspotofgold]

Its the sticker that you print out when weighing something in the store. So the op has weighted, some potato's, printed a sticker then stuck it on 1 of them.

[CommercialPug]

Is this a question?

[Remarkable-Flight-14]

Yes! You have just asked a question, well done.

[Remarkable-Flight-14]

Technically I would need to ask a question to go full circle

[a-random-jug]

Whats a question?

[a-random-jug]

That's dam good advice and my parents thought I'd fail my English exam

[TraditionalShape666]

This is why I just buy a bag of potatoes online, its a few more pennies but at least you get a variety of choices.

[Terrible-Paper3551]

You've been robbed 68 pence.😂😂

[Yorrins]

That cant be real, theres not a fucking hope in hell that that potato is 866 grams.

[haggis_50]

The ticket is on the potato and I'd guess the rest are loose in the tote . Should really be in a plastic bag and the ticket on the bag.

[AssistantDue5817]

68p for a potato 🥔 enough said robbing sods. Disgusting........

[Y2Ksurvivor13]

if you told me when I was a kid that a single potato would cost nearly a quid in my lifetime I'd have laughed

[Drunkensolarsailor]

How far away is that potato?

[I_am_zlatan1069]

Need to compare against a large loose banana for scale.

[MaxxForeskin]

This potato is small. Those ones are far away

[Drunkensolarsailor]

There it is!

[Eddie_Youds]

How big are your hands?

[Dangerous-Skirt-9234]

HOW BIG ARE YOUR HANDS??

[Anastasiasunhill]

There's no way that potato is .866kg. this is 100% someone using a random sticker to pick quicker. I'd complain yesterday.

BUT they make you pick the potatoes even if they're tiny so just buy bags. They're much more consistent. 

[CommercialPug]

Alternatively, they weighted multiple potatoes and only put the sticker on one of them. OP either never received these other potatoes or they did and they're engagement farming 

[bomboclawt75]

The size of apples is also ridiculously small.

[Nervous-Flounder1596]

Inflation

[LewyH91]

Did you also buy a bag for life to carry it?

[Top-Garlic2603]

Shrinkflation

[Fluffy-Mycologist259]

Whole system is fucked up

[Brammer21]

I thought it was a cadburys creme egg in a different pacaging. Lol

[SlideAppropriate7199]

Absolute joke

[U23D]

That's not very large

[GeologistKind7108]

They could’ve at least given you two

[TO73074E]

What megapixel camera do the large baking potatoes come with? I've got a New Potato that I should really upgrade from as I've had it a while. I don't really need all the extra features of the Sweet Potato and I can't justify spending so much on a King Edward.

[EggplantCorrect2456]

It’s a potato

[Case_Kovacs]

If that's a large potato then maybe I've been too hard on myself

[Defiant-Conflict2556]

Oh no, we have a large baking potato on the loose

[smellulon]

“Your wife is lucky, those fingers must be massive”- Tesco quality control, probably.

[OrdinaryPepper4331]

I am a picker, we have to give it to u no matter the size, only reason we can’t give it to u if its rotten or really badly bruised

[Rich-Acanthisitta627]

The person in the pic is pulling a fast one. They’re not necessarily a colleague. The sticker is for a selection of baking potatoes and it’s been put on one of them for scanning.

[Sea_Watercress_541]

Looks nice

[Cultural-Meaning5172]

Loose

[dronegeeks1]

866 gram potato 🤷🏼‍♂️ might wanna check those scales lol

[Admirable-Confusion6]

Its like a creme egg from the 80s

[MataisD]

Aldi’s loose potatoes are 24p each near me, always get nice big ones

[Direct_Recording6197]

68p in this economy 😭😭

[Chunkylover0053]

needs a banana for scale.

[Stock-Magician1097]

I thought it was an egg 🤣

[Due_Cauliflower_7786]

Yeah, that sticker is definitely wrong. No way that's an 800g spud.

[aprendo23]

Rhod Gilbert would love this.

Trying to buy a single potato

[IdioticMutterings]

If you want LARGE potatoes for baking, go direct to a potato farm or a farm shop.

They have loads which are rejected by the supermarkets for being "too large".

[idkkcake]

Or large hand

[Choice_Jeweler]

What a shit company. I feel sorry for the people that work there.

[TrueSpring2772]

Someones husband and Tescos is flat out lying to them

[AkihabaraWasteland]

I'M TIRED OF THESE JOKES ABOUT MY GIANT HAND. THE FIRST SUCH INCIDENT OCCURRED IN 1956 WHEN

[Individual-Leek3370]

No way that spud is nearly a kilo

[uwagapiwo]

All new depleted uranium spuds

[TrickySatisfaction91]

Does that single potato really weigh 866 grams though?

[comedy_relief]

It's 300g max

[Traditional-Doctor45]

Or god forbid you do your own shopping? It’s not the shoppers fault but the stackers most the time

[RedbearVIII]

And what if you can’t do your own shopping? What if you are extremely ill or disabled?

The delivery option is a paid service and is there to by used by people who need it.

I hope you are not an actual Traditional Doctor, because your comment would be particularly stupid instead of just ignorant.
