It needs a few people with banners outside the store (on the main road) saying something like Asda staff are rude, ignorant and arrogant allowing the local press to get involved I think.

Formal Complaint went to Asda Head Office today for the attention of their CEO Mr A Clarke. We shall see how much he cares about his Company image in due course.

I don't think they care anymore Ron, they used to when is was ASDA based in Leeds, but not since the takeover - anyway we'll see.

The customer's perception of a store is often very different from the management's. 'Head Office' generally will be unreceptive to complaints until business starts to slide, by which time it is probably too late.

Perhaps there should be greater use of 'mystery shoppers' to give impartial feedback. The usual sort of Market Surveys which stores carry out are just a string of loaded questions which skew the survey to give a favourable result.

I'm hearing of more incidents involving rude and arrogant Asda Staff at Wheatley in Oxfordshire during the past few days, with the same DM that I had the run-in with being as helpful as a chocolate teapot.

I have asked them to record the incidents here to let the world know how Asda treat their customers at the Wheatley, Oxfordshire store.

I am also told that the store was virtually empty this morning at 07:30 with the shelves close to empty also. That in itself shows how they are struggling for staff (thus maybe they will take anybody) as well as what the public think I reckon, but seems to me they are hovering over the self destruct button.

I haven't had a response from the CEO to my formal complaint yet, but will update you all in due course.

Actually the whole site is big enough to build probably 200 houses on it, so there you go Asda; another money making idea for you for when you have to shut down.

I'll be very suprised if you hear anything Ron. Totally different in our local Tesco today, shelves stacked to bursting, loads of happy staff dressed in Christmas jumpers and hats, busy showing customers where things were in the store. Even the store manager was wandering around helping customers in wheelchairs reach things on the shelves, though she's only about 5ft 2" herself Smile

Ironic then that it's Tesco profits that are falling and not ASDA. Seems like it should be the other way round.

If Asda Wheatley carry on like they are Ruth it will be the other way round, because once the rot sets in it usually travels!

It will be interesting to see if either of you get a reply at all, and if so which supermarket first.
