Asda out of date offers

Happyroly

Shopping in Asda today I noticed two very out of date offers.
They had some ready meals marked as 2 for £3 (I think they were £1.74 each). The offer was detailed on two separate cards in front of the items. On closer inspection I noticed the offer expired on the 15th August, 2005!
I pointed this out to an assistant and he removed the offending cards.
I went round the corner and was looking at some soft cheese which again were marked as an offer, this time two for £1.50, and, unbelievably, this offer was also well out of date. I found same assistant and he again removed cards and then went all round the chiller area checking dates.
I don't know whether or not the offer would have registered if the items had been taken to the till (I wasn't intending to buy the ready meals only the soft cheese) but think it highly unlikely.
I just wonder how many people have been misled by both these offers during the past few weeks.
I regularly have to point out that items have passed their sell by date.
What would be the best course of action in future because someone is obviously not doing their job?

You could do it one of two ways - continue to point out the errors and write a letter to the store manager.

Or, you could pick up all the offers and ask them to honour them...when they don't, report it to their head office and wait for the grovelling letter!!

You could always report it to trading standards as well but in my experience, they don't always follow these things up.

Good luck!!

Buy them then make them fulfil offer if you wanted the products.

buy them, and then go to Customer Services, and take them to the sign. they will have to honour it.

It happened to us last time on a BOGOF, it was one day out of date.
