The 'Whoops' section Crazy Folk!

Jeez, I feel especially sorry for the workers in ASDA the last couple of days - been in there twice myself and both times I have witnessed revolting, rude and greedy folk snatching items out of the hands of the staff reducing items. That combined with someone loading about 20 packs of reduced going-off-the-same-day chicken kievs into her trolley which was already brimming full with yellow stickered bread and people pushing each other around to get at a few manky sandwiches...urgh, what is wrong with people?

I know times are hard and I appreciate things can be frozen etc but I really do think the whoops section brings out the proper scummy nature of certain people. No manners, no thought. Just greed.

No need for people to push others around just to get to the only reduced yogurt or be selfish and scoop up all the chicken kievs.

The filth to decent people ratio is particularly bad in asda. Tesco is only slightly better

I saw a lady this evening in Tesco putting everything from the reduced section into her trolley as it was being done. She was blocking out three or four other people who wanted to look.She took the whole lot - a small trolley full to the brim. When I got to the checkout, she was in front of me. She'd bought loads of salad and stir fries amongst other things. It's going to be some midnight feast in her house tonight!

Most likely owns a restaurant and will be used as the 'special' for the coming week

Or like me has livestock and buys whoopsied veg and fruit during the winter to supplement their diet

i love a good root through the ys section but have come to the conclusion by the look and aroma off some people their need is greater than mine...i have stopped looking in asda and go to the coop...much calmer

By the same token I have no doubt you increase the !!!!!! to decent people ratio wherever you shop.

More likely a nursing home.

I used to work at ASDA in my teens and I was once reducing bread down to 11p, a woman came up to me and asked me to reduce it down further. When I told her no, she spat on the ground in front of me and huffed off. Classless as well as cheap!

Should have gone to the manager and ask them to have been removed from the building for at least that night if not ever

I got the security guard to remove them.
We ended up changing the policy so that any items that people had picked up would not be reduced upon asking. If they didn't want them at that price, they were taken out back, repriced, and brought back out 5 minutes later.

Got a fab whoops lastnight though, Asda were reducing all their Christmas desserts. Profiterole platter half price, good until Jan 2nd! Not in the usual whoops section, and had just been reduced as I got there, very lucky! :T :T :T

£8 dessert in Morrisons for £1.50 was my highlight! My local Morrisons is pretty good, so if you ask nicely when they're extra reducing things, they'll do it for what you have.

Such a huge difference between asking nicely and hoping, and demanding!
