About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, as a regular pushed his shopping cart down the aisle, he heard an odd announcement over the store’s speakers: ‘Attention please—we’ve just received a shipment of self-checkout bags that only accept exact change.’ Confused and intrigued, our regular approached one of the new checkout bags. To his surprise, it accepted only pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters in perfect alignment. As he fumbled for exact change, a delivery driver laughed from behind him: 'Welcome to Asda's future!' The regular smiled, realizing it was just another quirky twist in the ever-changing world of supermarkets.
2. One morning, an early bird shopper entered Asda and noticed something strange—every time she passed the cereal section, her shopping basket started filling itself with boxes of cornflakes. Confused and amused, she decided to share her discovery with a delivery driver who happened to be unloading groceries nearby. He laughed heartily and explained that it was just one of those days when the cereal dispenser had gone haywire. The mystery solved, they both enjoyed a good laugh over some free breakfast. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Asda’s quirky habits, everyone smiled and shook their heads in fond remembrance.
3. One day, while loading groceries into her car, a neighbor exclaimed, 'Did you see who just walked out of Asda?' ‘No,’ I replied, curious now. ‘Who was it?’ She giggled and whispered conspiratorially, ‘It was a delivery driver with a basket full of bananas on his head!’ We both burst out laughing as he walked past, banana peels sliding down his back like some surreal parade.
4. One afternoon, a delivery driver unloaded crates of bananas from his truck. Suddenly, one crate seemed heavier than usual—and when he opened it, every banana inside had mysteriously turned purple. Surprised and puzzled, the driver asked around, but no one admitted anything. Later that evening, while unpacking groceries, a neighbor noticed the same thing happening in her kitchen—all her bananas were now violet too! Turns out, someone had accidentally swapped the banana shipment with a batch of decorative gourds meant for Halloween. Asda employees spent the next hour repacking everything, laughing and shaking their heads.
