To be absolutely fuming at Asda for ruining my night

[SerialCatKisser]

Dp is out tonight, which means I only need to feed myself. I decided that I didn't want a proper meal, I wanted maltesers and Greek yoghurt (not together). There is a tesco about 6-7min drive from me, and an Asda about 15mins. Tesco's maltesers were full price, whereas Asda was selling them for £1 (I googled this prior to setting off), so off I went to Asda. To my horror, they had sold out of maltesers!! I circled the store several times in the hope that they would be stocked up by the time I returned to them, but nope, the shelf remained empty. I was so angry at this point, and I didn't have a backup plan for dinner. Reluctantly, I grabbed a bag of m&ms and a Terry's chocolate orange and went to the tills. Near the tills they had fucking 'treat bags' of maltesers. Treat bags?? They were the same price as the share bags, but you get about a third less in them! It is such a con. So now instead of enjoying a nice big bag of maltesers, I have a handful of maltesers, and I need to force down m&ms AND a choc orange. Oh and I wasted extra petrol, and I've come home in a mood :(

I think you should tweet the ceo. Google his details.We can retweet for you. Disgusting customer service, they should be ashamed.

That's shocking, write to your local paper and do a sad face.

I'm dong it right now!

'Angry Mumsnetter who is also on a heathly eating plan has Friday ruined by callous posters who bragged about their treats'

My plain chicken and mushrooms were not good Friday night food lovely by the way

Maltesers are £1 in my Tesco. I got some this week.

Which reminds me ........

Really theHouse? They're 2 for £3 here. Oh and apologies to anyone who is now craving a Terry's chocolate orange.

'Salright, Four, it's for the OP not me

For the last two months of my pregnancy I ate a TCO every day!!

I got 2 Terry's chocolate oranges for £1 each in wilkies last week. I still have one left (smug)

Inform the Daily Mail immediately!

I'm sure Co-op have them for £1

The extra 7-8 minutes drive will have cost you more than the savings in the bag of chocolate anyway. Next time, go to Tesco.

YABU just for shopping at Asda in the first place. It is a dump.

Did you ask if they had any out the back? Usually they have all the night stock waiting to go out by the early evening for night shift workers. But the people on an evening don't restock it as they have other roles. Boring supermarket info.

Sorry I've not continued in the jokey theme, just letting you know for next time.

Oh. My. God.
I'm on a name change at the moment, but still shocked there's another Cat Kisser round these parts....!

I have a box of malteasers here if you fancy them. I love them usually but I'm not in the mood. Come and get them if you want

..........where are you angryyoungwomen?

Yey to kissing cats

I did consider asking a member of staff, but there was noone in that aisle, and I would have felt a bit daft to be honest if I went hunting for a member of staff just to ask about maltesers. I checked at the very top of the shelves where they keep some of the sealed boxes, but alas, no maltesers.

bike- really?? Wow - how incompetent! Pretty hilarious, but you must have been uber pissed off. Did they get your order to you in the end?

cardamomginger no
They forced me to go to a supermarket on Christmas Eve.

I'm in Somerset

Do you think circling the store several times was less daft than just asking someone by the way? I am laughing at your methods, sorry

Oh I feel your pain, last Friday in my tesco shop I ordered maltesers they subbed them for twirls...fekin twirls...I was raging pmt you can't sub crunchy sweet melt in your mouth maltesers for twirls.

It was a week ago and thinking about it has made me ragy again...

Chocolate oranges used to be well nice but the couple I had at Christmas were fucking awful. Greasy and weird tasting

bike . Utter fuckers. Stringing up is too good for them.

Yes but nobody else knew I was circling the store, so yes I felt less daft

I agree that if you are looking forward to maltesers, then twirls don't quite cut it. However, those twirl bites are still bloody amazing! Definitely not the worst substitution you could have had; they could have sent peanut m&ms bleeuugh

It wasn't twirl bites it's was just twirls not even twin twirls just single twirls

I bet someone spotted you circling, checking the top shelves, tutting and muttering to yourself then circling again...
I'll leave them on the sideboard in the kitchen, make sure you lock up and post key through letterbox as I'm going to bed..night
