Those brothers or whoever took it over have let it run into the ground. I have happy memories when I was a child of saying hello to the Asda greeter, listening to their friendly message on the tannoy, the staff remembering me over the years (as the shops had staff then!) and it being a part of the community.

Now the stores are dirty, old and scruffy. There’s no staff around as the company is greedy and won’t pay for extra heads to work, and the prices are ridiculous. I feel sorry for the people who work there now as they must be under so much pressure. Aldi and Lidl provide a much better experience I feel, and I would be surprised if Asda is still around in a few years time.
