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 |
Re: Well I'm boycotting Asda!
Totally unaceptable (If true), I owuld not of left without creating a very large scene and making all customer around knew exactly what was going on.

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

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." Rochdale Observer 061109 Sorry didn't realise this was already in another thread |

Re: Well I'm boycotting Asda!
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. |

Re: Well I'm boycotting Asda! *Merged*
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 |

Re: Well I'm boycotting Asda! *Merged*
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.

I bet its certainly not Asda policy to do this and anyone not following Asda policy will be for the high jump.
Knowing several other Asda employees they are all aghast at this & would tell the operator that allegedly refused what they thought of her (and several of them are also aisans). Perhaps this operator needs reporting to the police for having terrorist sympathetic views? :D |

I'll reply with your first statement. :D
I have always found Tesco's food to be extremely bland, all low cost food especially the stores own brand is generally of low quality but I find tesco's to be worse then Asda's. I dont know what Tesco's do to the bread they bake but it always seemed to go like cardboard extremely quick. And you'll find that there are plonkas on the tills at Tesco's too. :D All the other stores you have listed have nothing to do with it, they have their problems too. Quote:

Re: Well I'm boycotting Asda! *Merged*
I've just been poking around Asda's website and this was on there
Help for Heroes wristband row: investigation completed We’ve come to the end of our investigation at Asda Rochdale and can’t find any truth in the allegation that one of our colleagues refused to serve a customer for wearing a Help for Heroes wristband. Our regional operations manager Paul Rowland said: “We’ve completed our investigation and it’s clear this exchange never happened. We’ve interviewed over 400 colleagues in the store, examined over three days worth of CCTV footage and talked to other customers and we can find absolutely no evidence that a colleague said what was alleged.” The investigation has taken longer than some people expected because of the number of people we had to interview. “We are disappointed and angry that right-wing groups are using this mythical incident to whip up racial hatred,” said Paul. “Thankfully the people of Rochdale will see straight through that. We remain big supporters of the work our troops do serving our country.” Looks like it was someone stiring up trouble. |

lol so asda claim that their cameras can also hear what their staff say to customers and that the person next to them on the next till can
absolute rubbish theres no way their cctv cameras could pick up 1 conversation over all the noise of a supermarket checkout and any other cashier would not be listening out for other peoples conversations they will be busy dealing with tehir own customers and have better things to do than earwig on their neighbours conversations perhaps if the offended person/customer had kicked up an all mighty fuss or punched the till operator then it woudl have got picked up on cctv but otherwise the customer will just look like another customer going through teh tills |
Re: Well I'm boycotting Asda! *Merged*
Any retailer who pays rubbish wages will sometimes get landed with rubbish staff.
I have never heard of any like incident at Marks and Spencer where the staff are paid more and the competition for those jobs ensures a better standard of employee. Cost cutting at Asda has resulted in poorer quality goods and staff. You get what you pay for - cheap service and cheap food. If that is what is needed in these days of recession, so be it. Personally, I would rather pay more and eat less. Supermarkets will continue to sell junk only if people are willing to buy it. |
Re: Well I'm boycotting Asda! *Merged*
I would not be surprised at this happening in Accrington due to the town becoming more like a Asian township everyday but I am a little surprised just a little with it happening in Rochdale,maybe their football club and their town centre pubs are also run by the same anti British soldier brigade as Accrington.

Re: Well I'm boycotting Asda! *Merged*
I heard about this story a few weeks back before it hit the papers. but must say it seemed to die down as quickly as it started.
I can say though in Support of our local ASDA . It has fully supported our xmas campaign for Support Our Soldiers. In 4 weeks Staff and customers filled 5 big boxes of goodies to put in the xmas parcels . In total making 55 parcels. So thanks to asda blackpool.... I think because of the high media coverage our troops get and especiallly the political side, The slightest Issue, remark or the likes from anyone in a public position aimed at the troops tends to get blown out of proportion. Sadly some are true but a lot do seem to come to nothing and its just newspapers trying to jump on the bandwagon. |
Re: Well I'm boycotting Asda! *Merged*
What are you exactly saying ? Are you saying because Asda filled 5 big bags of goodies for soldiers that it is ok for one of its check out staff members to discriminate against a person supporting British soldiers and its all hot air blown up with the press

Re: Well I'm boycotting Asda!
Are you some kind of psycic.Its only bullcrap to people like you who dont like hearing the
truth. Go and tell this woman and her family that incurred this incident that it did not happen and its all bullcrap because you dont accept anti British feeling from Muslims. You will be saying next that Accrington and Blackburn are not flooded with immigrants its all bull crap and there would be punch ups if this was the case. |

Gordie Perhaps if you took your head from up your backside something decent may come from your mouth, instead of all the crap you have just reeled off. Go back and read my post again would you. Where did I say it was ok for staff to treat customers that way? I did say that our local store have supported the troops alongside many other stores in my area. and I also know there are many many people from the Hyndburn area that support them too. ALL stores etc have managers who decide what and what does not go in thier store. If this story is true then its down to that particular manager . NOT ASDA as a company. whom Im sure are/have done thier own investigations. Its people like you that I was referring to that probably take everything they read in a daily as solid. Ive never heard anyone speak as much crap in my life as what you have just come out with you stupid man!! I have been stood for the llast 8 hrs packing parcels to send out to our lads while also preparing myself for my own lad to go out there in a few weeks and have to fight for muppets like you who really dont have a clue and put the mouth in gear before realising they have a brain!! :mad::mad: |

I have Asian friends and not one of them is upset by people being English or by people celebrating English or Christian traditions.
The majority of people are quite happy in their own bubble and very little offends anyone. I think people are far too sensitive about what they can or can't do these days. That goes for companies too - they're not racist, just sensitive about what people will say or do that they impose stricter rules and guidelines and it comes across as racist or anti-white, etc. |

Re: Well I'm boycotting Asda! *Merged*
What I do not understand about this incident is what did this lady do when she was refused service... had she already got the purchases on the belt ? Did she move to another till ? Did they get another check out operator to serve her ? Or did she just walk away leaving everything ? All this must have shown up on their cameras .. :confused: Perhaps I have missed this somewhere ?
I feel there is some sort of truth in it .. perhaps just a remark ? |

What actually happens in the supermarket and what people say happened later are often completely different.
Please remember that the people working in the supermarket are ordinary folk just like yourselves, people from your own community who just need a job, they are often overworked, underpaid ill appreciated & treated like crap. They get treated like something you wipe off the bottom of your shoe by customers who dont give an ounce of consideration for the fact that the poor checkout staff are simply doing a job and have been told (nay forced) to follow stupid rules etc just because the supermarket bosses etc have told them to do so. My wife works in a supermarket & often comes home in tears because of the way she has been treated, she can be pleasant, considerate & give good customer service but there are many "customers" who revel in not only complaining but being arrogant, abusive & insulting (as well as lying through their teeth) just so they can get goods for free or reduced. Working in a supermarket means that you have to put up with being treated like $h1t by both the company & the customers. Many of them were appalled at this allegation & were prepared to protest themselves. So please, bear this in mind when your calling the people at the supermarket, chances are they are actually your neighbours & not senseless morons developed on aisle 6! |
