r/asda

Ok so I read somewhere and was told by other colleagues that if a holiday hasn't been denied/accepted within 2 weeks you can take it. Is this true? Because I have had holidays booked for over a month now and theyre coming up and they havent even been looked at.

Which i think is genuinely ridiculous considering there are around 8 managers daily.

two days ago I accepted a job at Asda where i’ll be doing reductions/markdowns. I haven’t started yet and I was just wondering what other people’s experiences in this position have been like and if there’s anything I should know before starting. also is it normal for the Sterling background check email to take forever to come through? (if anyone else had to do one)

Please explain to me the logic of not having a deliveroo tablet to see the orders drop in when only TL/Managers can only see order summary? Why do they take one step forward and ten backwards, if there are no TL in, no one can see or use order summary to keep track of orders dropping in and which to take priority in picking first

I spotted on the ASDA rewards app that there was an offer for £30 cashback on a £60 online spend. So I did my weekly shop yesterday which came to £61and I got 30 quid in the cashpot. Unbelievable! I think it's only on for the next few days though.

Does anyone know how to opt out of L&G pension scheme? I’ve been at Asda for about a year, an decided paying into my pension is leaving me skint each money. How do I opt out? I tried phoning them and they said I need to do it through my workplace. Help!

I'm a 16 years old student. I'm trying to get a part time job and so far no luck whatsoever. Out of 47 applications, 2 rejection e mails and the rest didn't even bother to respond. Any advice or is this normal.

Asda, Aldi, Co-op, Sainsbury's, Lidl not a single vacancy within 20 Miles.

Been rejected by Tesco and Morrisons already.

Is there any Asda managers on here that will know if i go into every Asda around me with my CV can they take me on

Is anyone else slightly underwhelmed by the rebrand of Produce? It's nowhere near as nice as Freezers.

Perhaps our fresh manager sold it to us too enthusiastically 😂😂

How many team leaders does your store have? Especially if you only have click and collect and no home delivery/vans?

Starting tommorow till monday in asda stores 20 % off all clothing at george at asda but if you are asda staff you get a nother 15 % off 👍💯

Is bereavement full pay? And how do you apply for it?
I’ve had three weeks of for stress whilst looking after grandad after an accident but he passed in the hospital. I’m supposed to return this Sunday?

Sorry I know there’s a handbook, I’ve only got access to one from 2023 and I’m not sure if it’s up to date anymore.
I just feel lost and asking for advice.

Hi Just wondering what the rule is on Store staff and HGVs had a driver delivering to a store once but are Store staff allowed to get into the passenger of the lorry if the driver cannot find the HGV entrance. If it is agreed with your Manager and if the Driver invites you to sit in the passenger side so you can guide them on where to go as we had a situation like this not long ago?

Hi asda have free fruit for kids 👍💯

In my store has 🍏🍎🍌🍊🍐🥝 and its nr the flowers not sure how many times they fill it up in a day

Ok I have a question for home shopping colleagues

How do you handle cancellations of qcom orders or express orders so that it just doesn't look like you are cancelling the order for the sake of it, for example we will get a few uber orders that would be cancelled by uber support so when we cancel it, it flags up as our store is just cancelling the order.

Which option do you guys pick from the cancellations screen? Or is there a way around it so it doesn't show up as the store cancelling the orders?

👋 I get through a huge quantity of bananas in a week (HCLF vegan) and I know they are one of the most wasted products in groceries so I try to source and save the spotty ones both because that's when they're easier to digest and value for money cos they're usually discounted but I'm actually having trouble finding spotty ones available to buy, Asia is my closest major supermarket. What can I do to get my hands all all the spottybones before they're discarded? Is there a time of day to visit? Cheers!

Edit: I didn't come here to have my diet commented on. Go look at the science of HCLF and rawtil4/fruit-based then pass comment. you actually cure health issues eating this way. 🙄
