To be taken aback by this request in Asda

Hi everyone.

I’ve just come back from doing the weekly food shop at Asda and have been a bit taken aback by an incident.

Whilst scanning my packet of cereal bars with the Scan and Go handsets, a colleague doing some online told me that she needed them for her online order and I would have to give them back to her. I admit to being a bit taken aback by this request and told her ‘no,’ and speaking to the colleague in a short tone.

I now feel a bit guilty as that probably means someone at home, who may not be able to come into the shop has missed out.

YABU - I should’ve given them over.
YANBU - I was first to them and therefore should’ve kept them in my shop.

On a side note, does anyone else get fed up with the amount of online shoppers at busy times in the supermarket? There was at least 15 trolleys going round today whilst it was busy with regular customers, and not the first time.

Big difference here: those online shoppers can substitute for a better product and then charge the original price.
The store wouldn't honour the £2 you budgeted for cereal bars and give you a £2.40 item.
So aside from the fact that you were there first, there's another reason you were right to take the cereal bars.

My local Asda do - if you go find a colleague & explain you were looking for bog standard garlic puree for example but there's none there, they'll check the shelf in case you're an idiot & can't see it, check the stock level in case there's some waiting to be put out & if not they'll give you a jar of lazy garlic & a voucher to use at the till so you only pay the price of the bog standard garlic puree.
