    In my experience (although happy to be corrected) ASDA don't often do just interviews. They tend to hold short recruitment events with a few different activities included - take a look at this for an idea - http://www.asda.jobs/site-support/Asda-Magic

    Did they say it was definitely just an interview or did it sound like there could be more involved?

    In terms of dress, I'd go with the smart option. Even if the job itself is less formal or requires uniform, smart dress to the interview shows you can present yourself professionally and respect the fact that you're going through a formal recruitment process.

    Good luck!

    I went in a suit to my supermarket interview. (At the time, it was the only thing that fitted me). 20 of us were taken on. Most of them dressed smart causal. :)
