It's not the lack of customers that has ruined Accy market. People are prepared to travel to other markets but ours has been decimated.

Have you tried walking across Asda carpark lately. Not enough pedestrian areas. I can barely make it to my car never mind all the way across. You've got to try and manoevre your trolley between the cars, which are parked to close together ( I blame the white lines).

Re: Just Been To ASDA and Im Not Happy

A manager has rang me about my complaint. They say if you want any camera's or camera related stuff they cant sell after 8.30pm. They say the reason for this is the till on the camera stall prints your guarantee. Well looking at my printout on my receipt when i went back the day after, its just like any other checkout receipt.
What a load of bull.
I dread the carpark layout come christmas week , i guess this christmas will let ASDA know if all the money they spent on the changes to it is going to work.

If Asda is so bad why don't all you whingers take your business elsewhere?

If that's the sort of bull**** you feed them why do you expect them to treat you any better ? They've heard it all before.

Re: Just Been To ASDA and Im Not Happy

as asda is virtually on my doorstep, i still only use it in emergency sorry katex its crap, the carpark is WORSE than it ever was and as for 1 thing at a time pmsl its took 20 bloody years to make it worse- i aint got that long left. on a brighter note tried tesco at dingleland on monday for the first time, excellent wide isles so you can move around,under cover carpark so you dont get pi** wet through when it rains, enough space between the checkout tills,got to hold me hands up the dingletesco wins hands down.

I can understand your point, even if others can't. The place advertises 24 hour services. They don't say it's limited and they don't say you can only buy cameras up to 8pm so you go down to the shop on purpose specifically to buy a camera and they tell you you can't have one at that time. Of course you have a right to grumble. It's like the library saying they are open on Wednesday mornings but you can't borrow any books then.

Re: Just Been To ASDA and Im Not Happy

I agree with Jimmi & Willow. If it says 24 hours then unless it states somewhere that some services will not be avaliable then it should be. I'm pretty sure that nowhere does it say all services will not be avaliable. I once went on my way home from work at 2am and wanted some ciggies, the kiosk was closed so i went to customer services and asked if it was possible to get some, the lad there sighed and rolled his eyes and stomped over to the kiosk and slammed my fags down on the counter. To be honest i'd have prefered someone nice saying "No, sorry the kiosk isn't open at night" They should state what is open and what isn't at certain times.
