pegginout

as for the asda birds......
im an ex asda employee and we had birds in our roof instore. A man used to come in every month to shoot them......YES SHOOT THEM!!!!
always on a sunday evening when shop shut (but i worked late stacking shelves)
anyway, hundreds of sparrows would come crashing down!
They had been there that long that these sparrows had become a rare species and couldnt be shot anymore! instead they just put netting up.
The girls on the deli regularly found bird poo on the ham/pies/pizzas etc! NICE!
one bird died in the roof space, rotted, got maggots, which fell into George dept and into a suit jacket pocket!
Management always told us to say 2we do know about the bird (singular!) and environmental health have been called to act on it!
i was there 15 years and still enviromnetal health didnt come!

anyway:
After e-mailing asda,yesterday i received an e-mail back saying sorry blah blah blah and we will send a letter out special delivery.How wonderfull why couldnt they have done the same on the other 3 dates when i didnt mention the phrase "trading standards"
I was stopped outside DS school by the posman he said he had that letter ive been waiting for
it says they are sorry and basically it should not have happened,now here comes the next bit....we are obliged to offer you a form of compensation due to the distress caused,we have enclosed a gift card of £10 :eek:
Would you accept it?????

errrrrrr....let me think about that one..





NO!

I didn't see whistle blower but I've heard plenty about it and along with this thread it's making me never want to shop in a supermarket again.

would you accept this as good enough???
as talulah_chicken says asda charge the company that makes them £40 so why should they profit £30 from my misfortune.
What would you all do??
thank you

Tallulah_Chicken

Just a thought - why don't you print off a copy of this chat thread and send that to them along with your gift card. As soon as they realise that 4836 people have read about this I am sure that they will be very quick to sort it out!!!

£10 is appaulling - especially after you have chased them so hard for a reply to your complaint. Write to the MD directly - I think his name is Andy Bond. The address will be on the letter.

I wouldn't that is an insult!!!!

What are they doing about the actual complaint apart from giving you £10, scratching there backside and saying thanks for the £30 profit you made us?

the letter is signed by a david kellet.
Im going to write to them and send it special delivery so they cant say they have not received it.
thanks for your help everyone.
