Just saying what though?

Do you really think the sales assistant thought you didn't have debit or credit cards?
And why would it be such a problem if they did?

System

Sometimes we have to ask customers how they are paying if the card machine is playing up , i have never once had a customer react the way the op did .

Are you having a bad day OP?

its easy to take offence at the slightest thing if its the last straw of a long day.

I carry cash and cards if I was wanting to pay cash I would be a bit miffed that I wasn't advised I couldn't even though I would have the means on me to pay otherwise. So its not necessarily they didn't think you had a card just that you might not be wanting to use it.

That's standard Asda dress code isn't it?

Oh no not another snob.
My Sister often says that people who use Asda are not her kind of people.

I went to the local ASDA today for a few items etc. I promptly made my way to the self service belt. As I was about to put the items on the belt an assistant said that is for cards only you need the next one for cash. I looked at her in amazement as to suggest I would not be deemed to have cards.

Thinking about this, it's happened to me too in Tesco.

But I didn't think the sales assistant was suggesting that I wasn't the sort of person who didn't have credit cards.
I thought she was just being helpful so replied 'OK, thanks, but I'm paying by card anyway'.

Every so often one or another machine partly breaks down, and can only take cash OR card payments. So they put up a sign...and they still have to tell people because they don't read the sign. SA was just trying to help/save you time/stop you getting annoyed and frustrated.

Full length picture of yourself as you looked when you visited Asda.

Then we can comment on her opinion and your amazement.

Sometimes the signs on the self service machines are hand-written and not obvious ... I've been caught out by this before.

There's a new young man , who has been put on the self checkout section of our Tesco and I was quite amused when, last week, he approached me, asking if I knew how to use the machine; just me, so I must look too old to cope by myself.:rotfl:
