MrInBetween,

Does anyone here actually shop there? What kind of reputation do they have? Here in the US, Wal Mart doesn't have a very good reputation. They used to be used pretty much by the poor but thats changed as a lot more people are now going there due to the economy. They don't pay their people a living wage nor do they have any kind of health insurance. Apparently people start earning about $8.50 per hour and in six years wind up making about $12 per hour. They are non union and swear to never let a union in (which is why I was confused about them having unions in Europe). There is a joke around here that when you start working for Wal mart and you receive your employee paperwork, you also receive paperwork for food stamps and Medicaid. Don't know if its true but it wouldn't surprise me. |

Asda never had that good a reputation,My Sister worked there for a while ,So I imagine being bought by Wal-Mart hasn't improved Their standards of Employee relations.As a supermarket brand,They're mid range not the very cheapest but not the dearest,they vie with Tesco for the "Cheapest Weekly Shop".

Asda did have a policy of actively employing 'mature' workers (those over 50) - but they've recently abandon this. My cousin did work for them, very briefly, as a 'meeter and greeter'. He would stand at the entrance and say "Welcome to Asda - how can I help you?". They pay their workers' the national minimum wage rate which is currently £6.08 per hour (about $8 per hour).
They were the first supermarket, in the UK, to introduce self-service checkouts. Also, I've noticed they they adopt the procedure of 'pack 'em high for quick sale'. So desperate are they to cut costs their shelving is made of cardboard. |

Are they only a supermarket? Here they're "big box stores" which means they have these huge stores which have a supermarket (pretty poor selection) and almost everything else you can imagine. |

ASDA is cheap and looks cheap. Compare it with Morrison's where everything is presented in an attractive manner yet where prices are roughly similar.And they still have trolleys where you have to insert a coin to get them , a bloody nuisance as you have to remember to take one.
