Manners cost nothing Popped down to my local Asda in…
Popped down to my local Asda in Caerphilly. My husband and I decided we would like a roast beef dinner this evening. Asda usually has a good selection of joints so off I go. Picked up other bits while I was there. I went for a large beef roasting joint which I was going to do in the slow cooker. Went onto the self check out, my potatoes would not go through so I had to beckon a young male shop assistant over. Clearly he wasn't happy, no smile, no good morning, infact nothing!! Off he went I scanned through the beef, I had messed up, it was too expensive, my fault completely, I miscalculated. I cancelled the item but of course when you come to pay the shop assistant has to officially cancel the item, so again he came over, I explained what I had done, I also said I was happy to put it back when I went to swap it for a smaller readying joint. No word of a lie, he said absolutely nothing!! Instead he picked up the joint of beet and walked off to two women shop assistants. I watched as he spoke to them, then all three just looked at me while continuing to talk. I felt like I was being judged, did they seriously think I was going to take the beef pretend to swap it and instead walk out without paying? The beef joint had a big bold security sticker on it!! I am 61, I have osteoarthritis in my knee, I need a new knee, I am not going to sprint through the exit/entrance, not only that Asda have a security guard sat at the exit/entrance. I did buy a smaller joint and went to the basket section so I could avoid the young male on the larger self checkout. Not too sure I will shop at Asda now, there are plenty more supermarkets, I will shop around
Update decided to pop in today 30/08/25 to give it another go, what a mistake, manners or lack of manners from some staff is absolutely shocking. Call it a moment of madness, I regret wasting my time popping in, walked out and did my shopping at Morrisons
