We all know the types of people who won’t read that, grab the wrong one, and still complain when they do/don’t get help.
I have never been offered assistance in a supermarket.
What’s this for? Like help with finding stuff?
Or you could just ask staff verbally for assistance if/when needed.
What happens when you pick the green one exactly?
I wish I could have one of them gray baskets when I am shopping in Harvey Norman or jbfihi 😂 “No!, I don’t want help, go away” 😂
What if I change my mind halfway through? Should I grab one of each?
Sunflowers say it all
So what happens when one colour runs out
So after all your questions are answered you have to empty everything into a grey basket or get pestered non stop?
Can I get a system like this for Lush or JB Hi Fi pls? I’m happy to politely say no thanks, but also just please leave me alone
So do staff I assume still need to make a judgement call on the green basket holders whether they do need help as they might have taken the basket by mistake?

Boomers arent reading that sign
“you look like you’re trying to shop; let me upsell that for you…”
It’s for dating. Like how you place your bananas in the basket.
Green is if you’re single and looking for someone.
Grey is for people not in the dating scene.
So the problem is 50% of baskets are assistance baskets, but less than 50% of shoppers are assistance shoppers. Likely far less.
So at peak hours, when they run out of black ones, people will just start using green ones.
If the store has a process in place where they go out of their way to help green baskets, employees are going to get tired of approaching people who do not want assistance and customers may be the same with being approached when they dont want to be.
This will build complacency and a willingness to ignore the significance of the basket color, ultimately defeating the system.
They need like a 90% 10% color split for this to work.
Should have red and green for relationship status not looking and single and looking. Down down birth rates are down.
It is a good idea for some people.
Just because some people are fine navigating a store it doesn’t mean everybody is.
My local store recently changed everything around and hoped we didn’t notice some products being deleted.
Its a pain to shop there now.
Could have done with these baskets the.
You know creates a safe space for me? affordable groceries. Feels so bizarre they attempt to coddle you so personally on one level, then fuck you into the ground with the prices. the shit cakes i eat for morning tea are now $6.50 for 2 mouthfulls. would cost $35+ just for morning tea fuck them to hell
The only assistance i need is not having every aisle being restocked during peak service
Who are the ones offering help? Is this just the store asking the public to offer help to the public while the store continues to cut staff?
Help with what!? Stupid idea. Grab black basket and suddenly needs help. What happens when all black baskets are gone.
Just be an adult and ask for help when need.
God people will do anything besides talk to one another won’t they?
Only 2 people shopping in the store
I agree, that is cool.
The anxiety I would have if all of the black baskets were taken

Try refilling the baskets all day…
So if someone is of the other color other then white do they not require assistance at all ?
