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!

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

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

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 :eek: :eek:

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."

Sorry didn't realise this was already in another thread
