Environment watch

You can just picture the meeting at Sainsury's HQ. One executive suggests an airtight seal to keep pre-packaged grapes fresh. Another argues that the bags should have holes to make it easier to carry. Each option negates the other.



A fight ensues; a carton of yoghurt is temporarily unbalanced and spills onto the carpet; a tiny amount of blood is shed during an incident with a nectar card; a janitor is called.



Later that day, compromise is reached. The bag will have both the freshness seal and the holes for convenient lifting. And some weird perforations in the bottom, which nobody remembers suggesting.



How dramatic.
