About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Asda Supermarket, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Smith regularly pushed his shopping cart down the aisles. One day, over the intercom came a strange announcement: 'Attention shoppers, please be advised that carrots are now self-checkout.' Mr. Smith looked puzzled but decided to give it a try. He picked up a carrot and placed it on the scanner, which promptly chirped and displayed ‘Thank you for shopping!’ The old man grinned and walked away with his basket full of groceries, leaving behind confused employees and a long line of baffled customers. Ever since then, whenever someone asked him how his shopping went, he’d wink and say, ‘Oh, I just paid for my carrots with a smile.’

2. At Asda Supermarket, one day a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the shelves: every box of cereal had its expiration date mysteriously changed to tomorrow. Curious, he asked an employee who shrugged and said it must be a new promotion. Later that evening, a neighbor joked, ‘Guess they’re trying out the “buy-one-get-one-free” deal for tomorrow!’ Everyone laughed, but no one bothered checking the dates again until…nothing happened! The next day, everything was back to normal.

3. At Asda Supermarket, every morning around sunrise, someone started hearing strange humming coming from the frozen food aisle. One day, a delivery driver noticed an old record player in the backroom. Turned out, it was playing the same vinyl every morning at dawn. The humming stopped when they switched off the record. Since then, everyone calls it ‘Asda’s secret DJ’.

4. At Asda Supermarket, a middle-aged woman exclaimed, ‘Did you see that? The same cashier always smiles and waves at exactly 3 PM!’ One day, an excited child asked their parent, ‘Mum, why does Mr. Smith wave at us every day at three o’clock?’ The parent replied, smiling, ‘Honey, he’s just retired and loves his routine.’ The kid thought for a moment then said, ‘Oh, so he doesn’t even work here anymore? Then why does he still come to Asda every day at exactly 3 PM?’
