Asda offer free soup , roll and unlimited tea and coffee for over 60s

For the sake of an offer on soup and bread, I can't be bothered to look into it all.
Have soup, don't have it.

It's that simple.

MissAdventure - I think they all have "extras" but Asda does talk theirs up a lot!
I've read quite a lot now about comparisons and some offer 20% off on shopping as well as paying more in the first place.
What Asda does is a "bonus" which amounted to £400-and-something last year.
(£8 to £9 a week if spread over the year).

Here's a recent article about the current wages comparing the supermarkets. It doesn't go into detail about any "extras".

Our ASDA closed down the cafe. The nearest one is 7 miles away!

It's a nice idea in theory but are there any caveats? Would you be expected to vacate your table as doon as you've finished, as opposed to lingering for a while?

Would you get a seat anyway if there's a stampede of us all wanting the same thing at the same time?

All the supermarkets pay similar, but Asda, although down the lower end, offers employees the best bonuses, apparently.

Maybe this is how they will fund the soop offer.

Just read that Asda to cut delivery drivers’ pay by 12% despite staff shortage - I think yhis is after a "premium" scheme but it is already the lowest-paying of big supermarkets apparently.

Maybe this is how they will

As vegansrock says -

It emerged recently that some Asda employees were having to skip household bill payments, take out loans, and even use food banks to get through the month due to regular payroll errors that have seen some underpaid by £500 or more. Asda apologised at the time and said it was taking action to ensure it never happened again

Just read Asda is cutting its wages for its delivery drivers by 14%. So maybe not such a philanthropic organisation as they’d like us to think.

I’m turning 60, two weeks today. Sadly Asda closed its cafe in the pandemic and will not reopen

Asda recently did up it's cafe here, I think it's very good of Asda to do this for people who need it.

volver

Some folk are never pleased...

My thoughts exactly. I can't see what's not to like about this? Maybe other supermarkets will follow suit.

Oh, TiggyW- please may I join you?

I recently discovered Bald Foodie Guy on YouTube who does regular price and taste comparisons. He's really good.

Not sure what our Asda has - it's been open quite a few years but I've only been in once. There was a fight going on in one of the aisles and a police caravan is permanently parked outside. It rather put me off...

Maybe start a new thread Crumbs?

I really enjoyed it up to last year, was the one program I looked forward to. Won’t be watching anymore.

Crumbs

Meant as a new thread ooops!

The same question has been asked for the last few years. While people are still voting, and ‘celebrities’ are willing to earn money, it’ll still go on.

Meant as a new thread ooops!

Has Strictly run it’s course? In my opinion it has, I wouldn’t be surprised if ratings have nosedived.
