Asda - Melted ice cream.

Not sure what's happening at my local Asda store in Leyton. Seem to be going downhill fast with their over the top almost weekly price hikes (compared to other supermarkets).
Now we seem to have melted ice cream. Bought two of their own brand cornetto over a weekly period and when getting home (less than 8 minutes walk), find that they have melted, gone out of shape and re frozen. Happened with a pack of Solero I bought yesterday as well. Never had this problem in the summer last year.

Can only guess they are being left out in the heat to melt after coming off the lorry.

    I expect it's more sat on the dolly on the shop floor waiting for them to fill the freezer.
