Hi Carol
I have just finished putting away my groceries that were delivered by Asda.
They were due between 5 and 7 and came at about 5.30. There were a couple of
substitutes but they were reasonable - Not like the leap of imagination that I,
on occasion, got from Tesco's. The delivery guy read out the substitutes,
checked them in the bags and asked if I wanted to keep them. This is similar
to the Tesco delivery guys. However, teh Asda guy had a palm top that he
sorted out the refund on there and then for the substitutes I didn't want .
Until someone calls, I cannot tell you the sell by dates. Sorry.
One thing with the web site for Asda is that, by accident, I ordered two of
three things when I only wanted the one. I suppose I should have checked
before I sent the order but I didn't. I can only conclude that it is easy to
make a mistake with the selection. Still, I once ordered 11 curries instead of
just the one a few months ago with Tesco.
So, to compare delivery, I don't think there is much difference. The main
choice is whether you want to use the access site or not.

Hi Carol
I used to shop at Sainsbury's. I would go to the help desk and they
would get a member of staff to go round with me. However, the staff
they chose included the 'Meet and greet' girl, the 16 year old guy who
collects the trolleys in the car-park and the newsagent staff who don't
know the store. At the Tesco' Superstore I have had students who don't
do shopping as they "live with their parents". The best service is at
the smaller Tesco store where I have never had any complaints.
If we work on the 'pay peanuts' principal, I don't think I will be
shopping in store at Asda as the wages their are, I believe, pretty bad.
However, I am waiting for my first delivery from them with on-line
shopping.

Wally,
I can agree wholeheartedly with what you write and, although my
husband
does the bulk of the shopping, he is often given someone to help him
who
cannot read, never shops for themselves and doesn't know where
anything
is in the store. I have been thinking of trying Tesco again. (When
we
were in London we had a disastrous delivery . . . and I won't bore you
all with the problems now.) Your comments have made me wonder if it's
really worth having another go. If anyone therefore has some good,
positive stories and has had good service for some time, please say
so.

the pickers are often low paid youngsters, probably school kids who
want
to earn a few bob but don't either care, think or know about these
issues. Most, probably never do the shopping, mum and dad always do it
for them. They simply have to turn up at meal times and eat it, having
first complained about what was on offer.
further more, I sometimes get the impression that they can't or won't
read, because the notes we've added to items seem to go ignored. Well
perhaps that's a bit harsh, maybe they're just under pressure and they
do have to pick at least two orders simultaneously!
I know not all kids are like this but the ones with more up top see
the
pay and say that it's not for them. I guess if you pay peanuts, you
get
monkeys. smile.
We once ordered a bottle of mouth wash and had it substituted with
steredent! apart from mouths what do the two have in common that would
make the steredent a good substitute? also this week we had some
bananas
that had obviously been broken off a larger bunch, oops sorry bananas
come in hands, but on doing so they have split the skins. don't they
know that if you want to successfully break a number of bananas off a
larger hand you should grip and separate them at the top, not grip the
bananas themselves because it's easier to get hold of them.
Sorry, having a bad day today, took a bottle of milk, yes a new full
one, out of the fridge and half of it was solid ice and the other half
went everywhere when the bottom of the bottle fell out.. chuckle.
No! it didn't come from Tesco. smile.

Hello Barry I would be very interested in any article you can send me
on
this, I spoke to there customer service and they tell me as long as
they are sold by midnight of the date stated on the packet they are
within there right to sell it to you. Ok I should of possible stated
a
longer date but haven't any of there pickers got any common sense or
is
this asking to much of them. I am really steaming over this one as
this
isn't the first time this has happened to me. If I have to I will
start
shopping some were else were they do take care of there customers.
