total bullcrap!.. why oh why do people post unfounded lies on here?..maybe there should be a section for "Lies-Total Crap-Alien Invasions"..or a section for people that have lost touch with reality.
does anyone really believe this sort of kak? has it ever happend to you?.. I can tell you that if a cashout bloke\women and manager at any store round here showed that attitude there would be punch ups .. and i reckon everyone else knows that but you believe this rubbish or just go along with it.. come on you ain't that stupid.

It was delivered to me the day before that date.
When unwrapped it stank of putrefaction as in 'sewer smell'
I got a refund but it has put me off Asda forever

Sell by dates on frozen foods are a waste of time (dont know what they do with fresh foods), frozen food is returned to the distributor and repacked/labelled with a new date, Yearsleys distributors in Heywood do this on a regular basis for major supermarkets.

If this is aimed at me Mancie, then I take issue with you calling me or a member of my family liars (a family member who was with the lady in question), this debacle was posted on several forums (and not by me), and is in the local (to the asda in question) newspaper, asda would sue if it were not a true account.

They should also give a donation to the Help for Heroes fund. It shouldn't have happened in the first place.

accyman · 07-11-2009, 16:17

the check out girl should be sacked for refusing to do her job and insulting a customer, wasnt it also asda where an asian girl refused to serve a customer because she didnt want to scan the bacon ?

if you dont like the idea that an english person would support english troops in england then sod off elswhere and if you dont like handleing bacon dont get a job that requires you to do so.

many asians work on checkouts and have no problem scanning bacon or serving customers who ever they may be its just a case of some silly cow making a point and hoping the race card will fall in her favour and protect her which it obviously has because it seems she still has a job at asda

also asda is an american company and seen as its their lot that has dragged our troops into iraq and afghanistan they should be more supportive of our troops and tehir families when handling cases like this

What a shame I do hope someone somewhere can explain to her and others like her that supporting our troops does not Have to mean supporting either of these conflicts they are involved in.

(Note to self)
I know you mean well Less, but now's a time to duck!
You'll be in someone's sights

accyman · 07-11-2009, 16:48

hope somone also explains to her that the work our troops do also helps to cut down the possability of a terrorist group putting a huge bomb somwhere say like asda as an example

The supervisor was as bad if not worse for backing the till assistant up. Yes everybody is entitled to an opinion but what they did was outrageous!!!!

As a muslim and an ex RMP I am saddened by this story, its a job and if they don't like to serve certain customers then they should leave and get another job. This incident should never have happened, especially when our troops are dying over there to protect us from any future terrorist attacks or incidents and I am saddened even further as an RMP was killed a few days ago by the rogue policeman in Afghanistan.

The supervisor was backing the checkout operator up in case he was accused of being racist in pulling her aside and re educating her. We cant win at all can we. I have a cousin in serving in the army and if it was me on the recieiving end i would have asked if she supported or was a member of the Taliban or akin orginisation.

I agree Spuggie .. I do think that this girl needs further investigation, as her views may have 'background'.

Mind you, think this may already be going on ?

BERNADETTE · 07-11-2009, 21:31

Apparently there was a protest outside the store today, seems a lot of people are boycotting Asda because of this.
