    She doesn't work here!!

    A friend and I went shopping to Asda. Asda is the UK equivilent to Wal-Mart. I should also point out, that the Asda uniforms are bright lime GREEN, with the store name in big black bold writing on the back of them.

    So, imagine our surprise when she was mistaken for someone who works there. She was wearing a flowery summer dress, and was also pushing a cart. This crazy lady came up to us.

    MF: My friend
    CL: Crazy Lady

    CL: Excuse me, can you direct me to the snacks?
    MF: Um, yeah, they are just a couple of isles down there. *she points*
    CL: Aren't you supposed to take me there?
    MF: I'm sorry?
    CL: You aren't meant to just point. You have to take me there young lady
    MF: Young lady?
    CL: I don't appreciate your tone. You shouldn't be in here if you can't handle people wanting help!
    MF: Well you shouldn't be in here either! You should be in a crazy house!
    CL: Well! I'm going to speak to the manager and make sure you never shop in here ever again!

    She walked away, and me, and a couple of other customers that were stood nearby, burst out laughing.

    I am seriously beginning to believe I have a magnet placed in my head that attracts insane people towards me and my friends, because the amount of shit I encounter is NOT normal.

      Wait a minute now. She didn't say "work" here again...she said "shop".

      Is it possible that SCs are now knowingly targeting their fellow shoppers?

      If you have to ask, it's probably better posted at www.fratching.com

        Isn't ASDA owned by Wal-Mart?

          I hope not, because then they would wipe out the good customer. Next they would ton on each other. Soon there would only be the concentrated suck of the 867 crowd. Thus would begin the APPOCOLYPSE!

              Are they signed as Asda-Wal-Mart? The one near has Asda all over it, and a couple of the sign have smaller "Part of the Wal-Mart Family" on them.

                Yes the one near me has a sign like that. I think Asda is mainly in the north of England at least that is where it started.

                  Yep, with the Wal*Mart sign and everything It's mainly the huge Asdas that are Walmarts as well.

                          I've never liked Asda; I liked it even less when I read about the rat in the jar. O_o

                            Feh - animals in food are nothing to do with Asda. They're to do with the people who make the jars etc on behalf of Asda or other companies (such as my own - we have our own brand and occasional problems). Asda's people will have gone through that production process with a fine-toothed comb, but I can assure you that the same production company would make food for many, many other companies.

                              I understand that, but it's the association. Like fearing that KFC is made out of roadkill, when really it's not.

                              Oh, wait...

                              Never mind, back on topic.
