Thank for that, but beyond about 12 inches I have a real problem judging distance, so I still don't know how far 120 feet or 36 metres is

Even if their packing is not to blame, Supermarkets will replace broken wine bottles as it encourages customers to report or clear up the broken glass, thereby reducing the chance of someone else injuring themselves on it and claiming £1000s from the company.

I think the OP left it on the checkout. How on earth can someone steal something from your trolley when you're standing there with it ? Unless the OP is blind in which case i apologise.

Best thread in ages! Thanks OP.

Maybe OP put the clothes on and forgot?

40 yards = 36.923 metres.

1 yard = 36 inches
1 metre = 39 inches

40 * (36 / 39) = 36.923

Are these proper inches or 'mans inches'?

I think the OP's user name [last part thereof] gives the game away.

This is absolutely amazing - you honestly think it's their fault?!

Best thread of the year, 5 stars. I can't honestly believe someone would blame Asda in this instance though.

So you expect Asda to keep an eye on everyone entering and leaving the carpark? Babysitting for adults doesn't happen in the real world. Shocking news - you now have to look after your own belongings!

I believe this is appropriate:

I was so embarrassed reading the OP that I curled into ball and fell off my chair onto the floor where I lay for several minutes making mewling noises like a stricken cat.

As far as I was aware as soon as you have paid for an item and its in a carrier bag which you are holding then the responsibility becomes the customers to look after the goods, even if you still are in the shop. Ive lost count of the number of times a customer has come up to me and said have you seen my phone/bag/etc I had it here just a second ago when I came to the till and expect me to know where it is.Personally I always keep my receipts separate from my bag of goods incase it does get nicked, then they cant get a cash refund. Occasionally where I work we notice things straight away like left umbrellas/walking sticks/carrier bags and hand it over to our security dept. Outside the shop usually supermarkets have disclaimer signs up in their car parks saying any theft/damage to cars, etc is at the owners own risk and they cannot be held responsible. Lots of employers also have signs like this up too, so personal items left lying around are at your own risk.

You were in a car park, they are not responsible for what happens in their car park. People get pick pocketed in stores all the time and on the high street in general, stores try to stop it but they can't be everywhere all of the time. You are responsible, keep your wits about you, it could have been your purse/handbag, thank yourself it was only an eight quid top and not your handbag with everything in it!!!

Everybody is so keen for other people to take the responsibility for something that has happened to them rather than take responsibility themselves. Asda are not liable for anything.
