If it is to show that Asda sell christmas table decorations, then what a waste of an ad. They sell so much more.
Asda should have saved the money spent on Julie Walters and made fun, happy ads showing their christmas range with a load of different age, Mums, Dads and kids.
I used to like Julie Walters, but these ads make her out to be very short tempered and abrupt.
all the adverts are staged and if anyone asda collegue was to act like they do on the ads then they would be sacked.
horrible company to work for since walmart took over, they claim to lower prices on over 1000 products, but look very closely at other items they add 1p or sometimes 10p to other items to balance it out.
how can a company seel pro evo at £37 then drop it to £30, right before xmas put it back to £40???
just ask the asda collegues what they got for double discount day!!! every year past food was included as well as pratically everything else in store except petrol and ****.
this year, booze only.
If these celebs knew what really went on in stores/warehouse then i doubt they would do the adverts
1) no they dont
2) yes they do
3) I still have nightmares about the horrible school choir
4) she most certainly is
There's an interesting documentry about Walmart that's been doing the rounds on Sky Movies (on the Indie channel I think). You might find it interesting, none of the above is surprising after watching that.
But like others, the whole table setting/turkey cooking setups are weird. I was under the impression that Asda was starting to do Christmas parties or something!
I notice that you omit the fact that you get a staff discount of 10% on everything that you buy all year round.
And for those who have asked, yes Asda do have staff parties for Christmas. They was a store party last Sunday night in one of the best local places and tomorrow night the girl's from the George section are having a separate party which Asda are contributing towards the cost of.
And don't forget the £20 gift card all employees received either.
In the Bill Bailey stand-up tour the other week, he said he was asked to do one of these Asda ads....and then he performs a song about how he told them to get lost. It's called 'Asda! I ain't gonna be your bitch!'
Sounds almost as bad as working for Wilkinsons
take it your a asda "company man"??????
yeah i did get 10% discount, but so do tesco workers.
£20 gift card at xmas, true.
but how about when no-one got the bonus 2 years ago??? profits were down or so they said, but months later they announced record profits!!!!:rolleyes:
how about asda excpecting workers (warehouse) to pick 1400 cases per shift for no more money and tighter control over what people are doing!
if anyone has the chance to join asda, go on the dole or find somewhere else, watch the walmart film on sky movies, its just like that over here now.
ho before i forget did anyone see the atricle in the sun about a mother of 2 who got sacked for 2p for misuse of her discount card????
Seems to me "ASDA" are now the "Scrooge" of the retail world, yes you will get"jobsworths" saying rules are rules but this is overkill
because of me saying stuff that could be classed as libel on here if you goto google and typr gmb in asda, check there message boards and see what the collegues are saying about pratically every depot.
Ad-men treat us like morons.
Julie has defo sold out.
