An interesting difference between Asda and Sainsburys is Asda have all their cleaning staff on their own payroll rather than outsourced. And the shops are noticeably spotless compared to others.

ASDA also have an infinitely better frozen vegetarian section, better pop selection, worse clothing selection, better own-brand low fat yoghurt selection and my local one also has a McDonald's in it.

I suspect so, my Asda Supermarket is an ex Netto as well.

33 points to the man in the pink Levis, yes that is indeed Fflint.
Ha ha I worked for a few weeks in peacocks there so I thought it looked familiar.

Only worse.

Peter Kay does a whole routine about working there in one of his earlier standup shows - either Top of t' Tower or Bolton Albert Halls.

I'd go as far as saying Asda have a better food section. Fresh fruit and veg from Sainsbury's seems to be largely tasteless and you're lucky to find things before they start to go soft/mouldy.
Sainsbury's pies - appalling and tasteless. The taste the difference pizzas used to be stand-out, but then for no obvious reason they reduced the range down to bare-bones so your only option is the disappointing veggie pizza if you were hoping to pick up a late pizza on the way home.

Asda's fresh fruit and veg on the other hand (in my experience in a reasonably local large superstore and very local tiny superstore) seems to be always fresh, always tasty and always good value. The Extra Special brand has also taken up the slack where Sainsbury's has slipped.

If this merger does go ahead, I hope it's not at the expense of Asda's product/supply lines!

How many Asdas have a McDonald's in them? The only one I've ever seen is the one next to the trafford centre.
