My BIL who works at our local store has just received this information, he thinks Asda's gone mad. Asda are also funding Diversity Role Models with £100,000 over the next year. Looks as though they're jumping in with both feet.

I can’t think of many times I have ever had to use the pronoun of a supermarket worker so it does scream of “aren’t we great” from Asda trying to score points.

The ask me my pronoun is particularly bad. In the nicest possible way I don’t care about the pronoun of someone I will rarely see and never interact with more than please, thank you and general niceities.

Is it compulsory or recommended/suggested OP? If not compulsory it would be interesting to see how much employees pick this up.

Why on earth would I need to know a shop worker’s pronouns? Where would that even come up when asking where the balsamic vinegar was?

Urgh. ‘Ask me my pronouns’ is such narcissism.
