Meg, you must put a visit to Asda on your bucket list, things you MUST do before you kick the bucket

Re: Asda..A tale of Woe

I had to chuckle over your supermarket experiances, Rehab.
Some I don't agree with as I know a lot of the staff in our local one & customers, if they get in my way I ask politely that they move & they usually oblige, but kids, yes I do agree with that.
We sometimes go to the supermarket after 9 p.m. to avoid screaming kids, but both parents still take kids at that time & later, kids who should be in bed & fast asleep.
Why on earth doesn't one parent stay home with said offspring & the other do the shop!!!!

Re: Asda..A tale of Woe

One parent family I suppose Tiff, we have a large ethnic minority (am I allowed under current pc regulations to say Asians?)..they seem to shop mob handed, husband..wife...kids..grandparents etc etc .
Maybe it’s a day out?

Re: Asda..A tale of Woe

What happened to the Customer is always first? Im often nearly run over or knocked down by staff ,who just have to get past you no matter what,or,as mentioned park their trolley in an asse so you cant get pastor to the goods you wantthen there are the kiddies who can do no wrong ,picking up / putting down items of food, or 'sampling' the open fruit, one mother actually pulled off several grapes to give to her 2 small children, when I asked if she was going to pay for them she replied "What do you think",not to mention the toddlers intent of commiting hari kari by walking into your trolley,or their older siblings playing chase me,yet were I to bump one of these little people Id be held to blame,Oh the JOYS of supermarket shopping

Re: Asda..A tale of Woe

I'm laughing mate because it sounds just like a normal day at the supermarket.....The name over the door might change but the harassment remains the same......And why Aren't the more 'Mature' customers blessed with peripheral vision?....My Achilles Tendons and shins are testament that they aren't...

Re: Asda..A tale of Woe
