Asda Superstores

this asda is huge and seems to offer a great deal more than its plymouth store. there is a mezzanine floor with clothing and household items for sale. there is also a café on this floor. The car park is well laid out so you dont have to walk far from your car whereever you park.

I think I may have reviewed this supermarket before as I always go there on my way home.
this review, however, is really specifically aimed at the so called ‘express’ checkouts. these are the ones you can go through when you only have a few items and are capable of scanning them yourselves. let’s face it, this is not rocket science.
Every time I have used this system, there is a problem. last night, three items took so long, I left them there. The system said there was an unexpected item in the bagging area and then would not allow me to continue, saying I neede assistance from a store ‘colleague’. there was, of course, no one around. i mentioned this to the greeter and apparebtly, all the staff refer to this as ‘the slow lane’.
In summary, I would encourage people not to use the express checkouts or at least, tell Asda when they take longer and don’t work so that we can bring these up to the standard of the rest of the store
