ASDA claim to be the cheapest of the big four UK supermarkets, but they have all sorts of crafty ways of ripping you off, e.g.:1) You get a 5% off card as a perk of your job and wait until you need about 100 worth of shopping to maximise the benefit. You get to the checkout and find the card isn't accepted because it hasn't been ACTIVATED, so you have to pay full price on your 100 shop. Cards for rival retailers just need a one working day lapse for processing, no activation required.2) Smart Price (cheap, budget-line) items often aren't on the shelves, especially bread, so you have to pay double for the premium brand equivalent. 3) ASDA claim to sell the cheapest petrol in Britain at their 24-hour filling stations. I fill up at various stations of various brands all over the country and sometimes on the continent, ASDA Earley, Reading is the only one that is regularly not working, out of fuel, or not accepting cards, so you have to buy expensive petrol elsewhere, especially as your tank was low, as you hoped to make a decent saving from their cheaper fuel.4) ASDA, Earley, Reading opens at 6am on Saturdays, I have no problem with that, but why doesn't the cafe open until 8am? Surely, not many people take 2h to do shopping? I expect most people who shop at 6am haven't had breakfast yet, so it'd be nice if the cafe opened at 7 or 7:30am.
Terrible service. Delivery driver didn't drop all the shopping off. So called customer service, after being on hold for 25mins was told they could only refund and give us a 5 voucher. Won't be using again as the whole point of having shopping delivered is so we don't need to go out. Good job asda
Ok, so the store is great. Low prices and reasonably clean in the store and the staff are friendly and helpful.This review is more for the Caf: I come here a lot. The food and drinks are good basic fare. My issue is with the hour by hour management... At least twice a week I have to ask staff to clean up the coffee and tea machines area. At the time of writing the place looks like a bomb has hit it. C'mon people! You're not very busy, so clean up! Please?Asda management: you need to include regular checks in the caf to your store rounds... If you do already, they're ineffective.
** PIZZA COUNTER WARNING ** This is a warning to those who are vegetarian. Please avoid buying pizza from the counter as they do not handle the toppings very well. It's good to see they wash hands between customers, but they handle meat with hands and then use the same hands to handle the mozzarella slices...shocking.I am a meat eater but wasn't impressed with this so decided to cancel my pizza order.Also they have stopped using gloves, which I thought was a requirement these days? One of the guys had a wart on his finger...very off putting.
I love this place, i may even have a problem as I visit at least 4 times on the weekend. It has loads of parking around the store. The store itself has a wide selection of products , with the seasonal aisle offering a selection of novelty items. They have a good selection of deals and offers a mix from clothes , food and other such items. The one oddity i have noticed recently is the tagging of the shopping baskets. I can only assume this is due to people treating that baskets as a free home delivery system.There is a mixture of manned to self check out. I am particularly fond of the self check out.The staff are great always ready to help and great in a crisis.Asda has changed recently from offering a 24 hours but has not effected anything.
