Letter: Choose your trolley
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Sir : In my experience, the "overwhelming choice" offered by supermarkets begins before I even go through the door (Irritations of Modern Life, 17 February). Do I choose a hand basket? Or a half-depth trolley? Or a half-depth trolley with built-in shopping-list holder (on the rare occasion I remember to bring the list with me)? Then there is the "regular deep" trolley. The "regular deep plus new-born baby seat". Or the "regular deep plus older-toddler seat (with or without safety strap)". Alternatively, I could have the "regular deep plus baby plus toddler seats".
When I go with my mum to her local supermarket I can have my own scanner attached to all or any of the above ....
