As title says! I swear every time I am chilling out on the toilet trying to pass the time on my shift, there is always some fucker who comes in and lets out the loudest liquid poo you've ever heard and absolutely stinks the place out! Do you have to have IBS to work here or something? Did they forget to ask me that in my interview process???

Yesterday when entering ASDA the wheels on my trolley locked.

A worker on the door sheepishly said "that usually only happens on the way out. I can fix it"

She used some sort of device to unlock the wheel.

Can someone confirm wtaf that was about?

Im guessing it's some sort of new security measure?

It pretty rare to get a trolley that does not have buckled wheels and sounds like a train already.

Maybe locking buckled trolley wheels is not a great idea. Seems kind of dangerous and unpredictable.

Has the trolly locking mechanism been tested on trolleys in there current state of disrepair?

Went to my local Asda express.

Thought I’d pick up a few cheap packets of ham. 3 for a fiver seemed a bit on the steep side for 360 grams of reformed, wafer thin ham but I thought I’d splash out and treat myself so I bit the bullet and picked them up.

Imagine the shock upon returning home to find out Id been duped!

Despite the stickers saying 3 for a fiver. I’d been stung £7!!

Fancy taking home some bed bugs while you shop? ASDA has the solution, do your laundry while you shop!

In theory it's a good idea, tackle laundry and shopping at the same time but it won't be successful for 2 reasons. First is that most people have washing machines at home, so just put the laundry on before you go to do your shop, come back and it's finished.

Second is most people don't like sharing washing machines due to bed bugs and other nasty crap from dirty people.

Third, there's no way of knowing if the machines will be in use when you get there, you may drag a massive bin bag of clothes to wash, only to find the machines are in use.

So basically a customer has to be doing a large enough shop that their laundry can wash and dry before just in time to collect it. That eliminates every customer doing a quick 20 minute shop. The customer has to take their laundry in hoping there is a machine available. They have to hope they don't leave with their laundry infesting with bed bugs from some other persons laundry.

Don't see this working at all.

I'd give it until end of next year. Constant struggles, constant staff shortage (average), constant bad financial reported.

If anything will defintely miss the bakery and pizza.

Asda will be closing several superstores after Christmas, Joseph Sutton also getting the chop.

You heard it here first

Customer.. Why is your fuel dearer than down the road... The pumps are dirty and sticky... No milk or newspapers.. The floor is a mess... Me.. Why do you come in here... Customer... Because I like it... 😩 You just couldn't make it up ha..

Just got £100 parking fine for parking at ASDA Watford superstore for 1h33min. According to ticket I'm allowed to park for maximum 1 hour. Is it an unfunny joke or something ? Or now we need to wear roller skates to shop if we come by car?

I was filling petrol, I went to put the nozzle back but realised meter was still moving.

I took a video and it went up by almost £1 while I was taking a vidoe.

It's completely unethical for them to overcharged customer.

I went to store and spoke to manager, they said they are happy to refund £1 back, this is how it works?

Tried speaking with Asda customer care on twitter, they said go to pump and complain there.

Any suggestions? (I do have a video, just don't want to put it on a public place until I know best way to)

Seriously? You can get £30 off an order and everyone's picking call of duty? I get wanting a new game but come on its bloody call of duty. Ive had like 15 customers on click and collect today turn up for call of duty and a few drinks

What u reckon guys should I get it from Asda and wait for double discount? First thing is I don’t even know when Double discount is though 🤦‍♀️🤣,?

I‘m a driver, I have a medical condition which means I can’t see well in the dark, and I walk with a crutch due to issues with my feet.

I‘m still doing van checks and delivering in the mornings. My manager has suggested working on other departments or even going off sick because she’s worried that I’m not insured to drive. I don’t want to do either, but some days I struggle with the lifting and delivering with a crutch. I do PDCs so I can go and pick my run in the morning so I get the lightest run.

Can my manager force me to do either of the above? How could the union support me if I’m forced into a situation?

Edit: The answer is, my manager can't do anything. The union have said it's all discrimination if they move me or fire me. :D

You arrive at some God forgotten 💩 hole, you check out the place, can clearly see it is 3rd floor, no lift, all the ceilings in the corridors behind the gated buzzer have shoe marks, you unload 12 heavy totes of stuff you would not even buy if government gave you free cash, you buzz in, woman answers and tells you with a cringe voice it is top floor. Then it is silence. You buzz up again and ask for help. She says NO, BECAUSE I PAY YOU WAGES JUST BY ORDERING. What do you do next?

Since the change to the new system, any beneficiaries have been replaced by 'Asda'

Edit: Seems this could be wrong and it's not 'asda' but rather 'no longer the person you specified as your beneficiary so it goes to your general estate'.

Big difference but still worth checking your details

When your order gets cancelled because the delivery driver apparently attempted delivery but literally no attempt was made and so now you have no food 🙃🙃🙃

for all the customers acting like they've never been in a shop before

Anyone else’s store having everyone checking chilled for out of dates, ambient fell so far behind today bc of this all for a stupid audit maybe if the date code team did the job they’re paid to do we wouldn’t have to do extra checks. It’s just a waste of hours and we’re overspent every week as it is

Hey everyone,

About a month ago I requested a week off about halfway through February next year and it got denied. I know it’ll be the half term so other people have probably booked it off earlier than me but that doesn’t seem fair to deny it pretty much 3 months in advance when she can easily find other people to cover me.

Oh but a week ago she then comes and finds me when I’m doing my job and has the audacity to tell me I still have holiday hours left to use up🤬

Sorry for the rant, just bloody annoying

Genuine question… 😂
I work at Asda, I’m 19, I’m literally wearing my green Asda shirt, and I’ve gone down to self-checkout to buy a Red Bull.
I understand that energy drinks are age-restricted and that staff have to follow the rules. But surely there comes a point where repeatedly asking someone for ID gets a little ridiculous? I’m 19, I obviously have to be at least 16 to work here, my colleagues know me personally, and I’ve been ID’d multiple times by the exact same people who already know who I am. Yet somehow, every single time, it’s “Can I see some ID?” 😭
I completely understand checking someone who genuinely looks underage, but when you already know the person, know they work here, and have checked their ID before… surely we can use a bit of common sense?
At this rate I’m going to have to start carrying my birth certificate around just to buy a Red Bull. 😂
Is this normal, or am I right in thinking it’s a bit silly?

So today I was buying the stuff (exceptional barmley apple sausages🤤) I rightfully marked down and my manager told me we’re not allowed which sucks ass. LIKE WHAT ARE THE PERKS TO THIS ROLE IF NOT GETTING FIRST DIBS. Had to leave the sausages as they were the last ones😭😭 now I am sausageless, goodbye my delicious English brekky

Edit: are other supermarkets like this?

I want to quit my job and i’m due in tomorrow.

1. how can i go about doing it? i ain’t giving any notice because they’ve just been hassle and honeslty unprofessional themselves so why not return the favour!

2. im owed money from last months wages and i don’t want to lose it due to them just saying “it will be sorted”

3. im also missing shifts on my clock in/out info so will these be. input or can i go and say about them having quit my job already?
