Well I'm boycotting Asda! *Merged*
Have a look at the link below, about a lady who was refused service at asda in Rochdale, the asian on the till refused to finish her checkout because she wore a wristband supporting British troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, his supervisor was called, and guess what? HE BACKED HIM UP!! I really do despair at this seemingly racist taunting against the British public!

Re: Well I'm boycotting Asda!
I have stopped using Asda because their 'fresh' food isn't.
I paid loads o'money for a free range organic chicken.
It had a 'use by/sell by date' for the same day, which I thought was odd.
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

I use McAfee and it has a site adviser, this site flagged up as be wary, the link sould be fine but it shows a few DL could be iffy.
Download tests for foxnwolf.com:
Downloads we found on this site:
DownloadAnalysis CreditCArd.exe
Generic Downloader.x trojan
setup-ziggytv.exe
ASKToolbar
Many green downloads
In our tests, we found a small fraction of downloads on this site that some people consider adware or other potentially unwanted programs.
This is what it said. Just informing others.

Re: Well I'm boycotting Asda!
Please be careful of these so called information sites. Local and regional news would have been all over something like this. Could just be someone who is pd off at Asda

Re: Well I'm boycotting Asda!
No way would this happen in a Walmart/ASDA store in the US , ........any store clerk/shop assistant dumb enough to try this here would soon be educated in what the terms "git a rope" and "lock and load" mean

Asda Rochdale
O Dear another Google Page Ranking disaster
"A CUSTOMER who claims she was turned away from the tills at Asda for wearing a Help for Heroes charity wristband has been assured by company bosses that those responsible will be dealt with. She also received a bunch of flowers and an apology from the supermarket giant.
Beth Hoyle, of Whitworth, says she was turned away from the tills at Asda in Dane Street, because the checkout operator allegedly said ‘what she was wearing’ meant she supported the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."
