Someone elderly, disabled or with young children would struggle to carry the extra items.\r\nWhen these offers are applied to perishable items of food they also create waste, with the free one often thrown away.\r\nThese offers are therefore discriminating against people on low incomes or without their own transport and encourage unnecessary waste.\r\nIt would be far fairer and more environmentally friendly for the items (particularly heavy, bulky or perishable items) to be offered at half price.\r\nI would like to see these offers restricted to half price so they are accessible to all and reduce waste.\r\n\r\n","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2014-05-15T07:36:18.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:29:58.733Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:44:19.295Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2014-05-15T07:36:18.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
