Some Morrisons customers did not get their Christmas dinner. Their online orders did not arrive on time. They had to use what they had at home.

Kate from Exeter said her Christmas was ruined. She had to eat pickled onions and leftover food. She wants better service from Morrisons.

Morrisons said there were “system issues” that caused the problem. They apologized and offered some discounts.

Another customer, John, had to eat chicken and potato waffles. Morrisons charged him but did not deliver his food. He is waiting for a refund.
