To never ever shop at ASDA ever again?

[gymboywalton]

Bought a leg of lamb the other week, brought it home and bunged it in the freezer.

got it out to have for dinner yesterday. Opened up the pack and it was HONKING.
really unpleasant smell.
However label on the pack said there would be a smell and it would fade so gave it the benefit of the doubt.

Seasoned it and cooked it.

took it out of the oven and it was still a bit smelly-tasted it and it was rank.

everything else was ready-potatoes, veg etc

dh had to run out and buy chicken breast from tesco express and we had to cut it up and flash fry it. everything was past it's best by then. chicken breast bought at 8pm from local store = £10!!!!

tweeted asda today-no response
phoned them to be told to take the stinky bloody wrapper out of the bin and take into store for a refund. Asked about the cost of the chicken i had to buy to replace the lamb and the guy said 'well you ate it didn't you?'

never again asda- never again.

Even when I worked at asda, I never bought their meat. I had so many problems I just used to go to Sainsburys for meat. Tescos wasn't much better either.

Taking to social media & emailing a CEO.
THIS.
So, if you made a mistake in your day to day job & someone emailed your CEO and took to social media to complain about you that would be okay??
Also - 99.9 % of the time the reason meat smells slightly off is that there is a minuscule hole in the packaging and some air has got in, destroying the preservatives which keep the meat fresh.
But yeah, email the CEO.

We had some rancid pork from morrisons once. I took it back (had to keep the Windows down in my car it smelled that bad) and he manager couldn't have been nicer. He swapped the pork and said I could have any bottle of I wanted. Being British I chose a fairly cheap one rather than the most expensive though!

That should say bottle of wine!

You didn't have to buy the chicken. You could have bought anything.
They refunded you for the lamb. Why would they refund you for something you bought at tesco?
It's annoying but they did what they should.

Teenagers don't need meat

They DID refund the chicken.
