  1. Good idea, and have someone spray card machines, now that they have almost forced everyone in the country to press the same button with their main finger.

  2. Agreed, dunno why some shops still have trolleys that require you to put a pound in them to release them anyways. Most shops grew out of that since they realised the ones found in streams are not put there by people who want to save a quid, but by yobs.

  3. Good idea, and zap them with UV like they do in Belgium.

  4. The UK is lagging behind on this for sure. No mention of what we are doing to cut the waste. And it is unlikely we will now that Europe isn’t ruling us properly.

  5. Agreed, and global ones for places where kids don’t have food – to compensate giving to adults that don’t try hard enough to find money to feed their kids in well off countries, which shopping malls.

  6. Don’t know why they don’t do this already, especially with some modern plastic that isn’t bad for the environment. There are so many benefits to vac packing.

  7. As above, so below. They vacuum pack food for astronauts, which should be a clue as to why we should do it in the high-street. Actually SpaceX are looking for a packaging expert currently.

  8. Steve Divnik invented the spiral waterless wishing well amonst other things. I am sure he would approve of this idea especially if your money landed in 1 of say, 4 different holes – which would share the money out between 4 good causes without one being the lucky one that got their wishing well placed in the shopping mall.

  9. Bless them the UK Rotary Club provide these to shopping centres and give the proceeds to charity, how commendable.

  10. Would be good if they gave some of the proceeds to local projects like Liam’s Lunches too.

  11. They should just have a QR code on the till where it says the cost, that way we don’t need receipts or any of these recept scanner apps, Currently for business expenses though, I use this, when I remember to, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wb.receipts&hl=en_GB

  12. Can’t for the life of me work out why we still have receipts in this day and age, all the info is on your bank account anyways, unless you are a diehard cashead.

  13. …. not likely, not when they get away with other known tricks…. “As you search for the milk and eggs that most people need to make a quick stop for, have you ever noticed that they are at the back of the store? This is no accident. “

  14. Saw one similar to this, where the doors open to reveal the rest of the ad, clever advertising idea with lots of possibilities for creative advertising agencies.

  15. Yeah, they are a great idea, gives you something to read – and if done well, can be thought-provoking too.

  16. Early days. Won’t be a while til someone makes an industrial sized version to save factory energy costs.

  17. Not going to happen but good idea – they make sure you don’t have anywhere to off-load unwanted shopping near the tills. And staff know to give you a dirty look as if you are creating more work for someone. Bad manners in the UK, not sure if its the same everywhere.
