ASDA reviews

Management never backed up the staff if it didn't suit them. Manager made me sell a woman Paracetemol over the legally accepted amount - I was told initially this was a fireable offence but then treated like a jobsworth when I tried to enforce it. If someone didn't turn up to relieve you, you were expected to wait until they said so, even if that meant staying an hour after your shift ended. Rules changed depending on who it suited. Again told that I must never, ever leave the till unattended - when I called a runner to fetch a replacement for a customer (something which is a huge part of their job...) I was told to stop being lazy and go get it myself, leaving till unattended for a few minutes, only to be told off by a 2nd runner on my way back for leaving. Management were also extremely clique-y and the environment was very toxic. Food hygiene rules utterly ignored - a pack of raw meat burst on my till, spilling meat juices everywhere, but once I'd cleared up the obvious evidence on the belt, I asked to wash my hands and they said not to bother, and if I was going to be really that fussy I could spray my hands with the industrial disinfectant. Training almost non-existent - shown the very basics for five minutes then made to work on a busy shift immediately. Overall the unhappiest I have ever been in a job.

SOME management can be disrespectful, mostly towards the younger colleagues. Excessive workload. Repetitive work.
