    Asda and the helpful lady

    So I go into Asda to get a box of markies for my hounds and because there is a large queue I then proceed to the self service till. However it doesn't seem to be fully operational so I ask for some staff assistance. I then notice that the machine is jammed up with some old receipts, so as I start to clear them I'm approached by the lovely assistant, Louise, who tells me she is the "team leader" and that she is really sorry for my inconvenience and would I mind if Asda paid for my purchase by means of apology?

    I can't get onto the online Asda feedback department until tomorrow and although I am very happy with the service I feel guilty about not paying. Should I have insisted that I pay anyway? Any advice?




    I don’t like to shop at Tesco because it’s usually full of cantankerous old boneheads who talk drivel.

    Quite obviously it wasn't a Belfast branch of Asda as they might have sent you out into the cold dark night
    TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity

    The great thing about Asda's Louise is she'll be cheap. ;)

    I had a similar experience in Morrisons. Actually, I'm lying - truth be told, they're all cnuts.

    Get your dog to chew up a load of chicken grisle, bones and other dog's turds, get it to vomit it up for you, stick in on a plate with some garlic butter and breadcrumbs and bob's your uncle - Morrison's Chicken Kiev.

    Which ASDA was this? I have a sudden urge to go shopping :D

    Does it have changing rooms?

    Re: Asda and the helpful lady

    A similar thing happened to me when I was on holiday in Twentysevenerife, except it wasn't Asda, it was a dark alley on a cold dark night and it wasn't a girl called Louise, it was two scary guys with thick norn iron accents and they didn't want to pay for my shopping.

    Re: Asda and the helpful lady

    i took a tomato back to Asda once because it was horribly squashed after I had inserted it into my rectum. I must agree that the staff were delightful, very apologetic and even offered me some Clubcard vouchers by way of recompense.

    Much better than those bastards at Tesco.

    Thing is you don't get club card points with Asda even on a warm sunny evening.
    And hence one master passion in the breast, like Aaron's serpent swallows up the rest.
