Asda - WTF is going on?

[MuggedByReality]

I went into a big out of town Asda store in the East Midlands this afternoon. The place was a chaotic shambles, it looked like some sort of organisational meltdown had happened. Empty wooden pallets scattered around. Empty shelves all over the store. Piles of boxes of stock which should have been on said shelves dumped & piled up in aisles. Massive queues at the customer service desk. Very few staff visible anywhere. I gave up & went to the nearby Sainsbury’s instead which was completely fine.

Is Asda struggling? Has anyone else noticed major problems recently or was this just one store having a bad day?

Re the blue light discount - do you realise it is now only 5% on certain items ? i.e. your carrots would count as they are fresh and healthy, coconut milk may not if it is tinned ?

@OlderGlaswegianLivingInDevon I know, it's only on fresh stuff and only if you shop in store. I've just got into the habit of shopping at Asda now.... it's still cheaper than Tesco though, I think

Which one was this Grantham?

West Bridgford?
