Friday 1st March
Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Kash
The Legendary Mr G asked me if I was new as he hasn't seen me before. "You are too popular", I replied, "Every time I wanted to book a task to do your shopping, someone else had already signed up".
Because the other GoodGymers did many missions for him before, from the past reports I knew what was the dark, green cabbage - it was the savoy cabbage, just the darkest one available.
I didn't have to interpret the rest of the shopping list as it was pictorial. I finally got to see Mr G's legendary Book of Labels - a unique shopping list that doesn't leave room for misinterpretation about the product. Or does it? At the very end of my shopping, I noticed that the Gujarati Mix and salted cashews labels had numbers stuck onto them. Not being able to call Mr G from the store, I assumed that they meant quantity. Luckily that was a right guess!
Mr G was very grateful for the shopping and praised all the GoodGymers he met so far. As someone with mobility issues, he appreciates his groceries being delivered by volunteers, so that he doesn't have to rely on expensive food deliveries regularly just because he has trouble walking to the shop on his own.
