    My local Paki shop sells stuff from Asda.


    I used to work in Asda before I retired and I mentioned it to my manager who said if people are daft enough to pay more to buy Asda stuff not from Asda that's their lookout.

    Is that allowed

    I presume you are not from Northern Pakistan so either go somewhere else then, or complain to the owners. Or explain you are not Kalash.
