Shirt service - maximum of 4 shirts per plastic bag possible

Hemdenservice - maximal 4 Hemden pro Plastiksack möglich

Hello everyone,
After a hard week at work, I used the shirt service at Migros Textilreinigung for the first time last Friday. I turned up with my 5 shirts and dutifully filled in the form. They also provide an oversized plastic bag in which you could easily put up to 8 shirts. But unfortunately only 4 items are allowed per bag. I was a little taken aback by this and asked the information desk. I was assured that only 4 shirts are allowed per bag and that I had to hand in two bags, otherwise the order could not be accepted.
This really surprised me - Migros is a M more sustainable.
Could you please take a look at the issue? I then went to the vegetable department with my eco-textile bags and didn't need any more plastic bags.
Many thanks and best regards

Exactly: Migros is only just one M more sustainable - not enough for the rest of the alphabet.

"More in the bag" is only available at M-Budget ?, see illustration

In what packaging did you get the finished shirts back?

There is nothing in the terms and conditions, the terms of use or on the flyer about a limited number of shirts per bag. I could imagine that this is handled differently from one cooperative to another or even depending on the location.

But maybe they can't process more than 4 shirts at a time in terms of logistics. 4 short-sleeved summer shirts take up less space than long-sleeved flannel shirts in winter. They could actually use different sack sizes.

The textiles are delivered on hangers.

Thank you very much @Frederica.
I've read this sentence again and again, but I misunderstood it, namely as the noun for the verb bügeln. And the "auf" as "nach", "towards ... towards", i.e. after ironing/smoothing. In the sense that if you're in a hurry and the shirts are relatively iron-free, you can't get them back faster unironed.

Edit: I thought these utensils were called "coat hooks".

The question remains as to whether each shirt comes back individually packed in such a large plastic bag or all 5 or at most 4 together in one. That would explain why the bags are so big in the company.

I won't pick them up until Friday, then I can let you know. The official reason will probably be that the process dictates it. I just think that processes can also be adapted.
By the way, it's Migros Zurich, Uster.

Hello everyone, hello bison_jackson, I asked the Migros Genossenschaft Aare what the instructions are. Here is the response:

It is possible to put up to eight shirts in a plastic bag and enclose two tickets according to the number of shirts (4 and 4 or with five shirts, for example, 4 and 1). The number of four you mentioned only refers to the maximum per ticket. I am sorry if the information provided was incorrect.

Nevertheless, in practice it has been shown that the greater the number of shirts, the greater the sources of error. There is a risk that the number of shirts on the ticket will be recorded incorrectly. In this situation, the entire bag is returned uncleaned (as an "incorrect item"). We have deliberately kept the written instructions in the stores simple so that as few misunderstandings as possible can arise in the interests of our customers.

As we would have to clean reusable bags every time for hygiene reasons, they would unfortunately be less environmentally friendly than plastic bags.

In the area of textile care, a number of new ideas are currently being examined with the aim of making our textile cleaning process significantly more environmentally friendly. We not only want to optimize individual aspects and make the bags smaller and thinner, but also achieve much more with completely new processes and take a big step towards sustainability.

As such changes need to be well thought out and tested, it will take some time before they are implemented.

Kind regards, Sina

Here together, here is the promised feedback. As expected, the shirts were then returned separately in plastic bags on hangers (4+1).

I asked again in Uster, you are not allowed to return 4+1 or 4+4 in one bag, you need two bags.

Sina, thank you very much for your research. I look forward to the news as soon as it's ready. At the moment it is probably rather suboptimal, but as you know, that creates room for opportunities :).

Sina also asked the Aare cooperative - for whatever reason.
Uster belongs to the Migros Cooperative Zurich.
However, the initial post didn't mention which branch it was...

Hello @Nachtspalter

I had a quick look and Sin must have made a mistake here. She did the clarification at the Zurich cooperative.

Kind regards
