Asda. Quite possibly the worst company in the world at the moment.

Had a few of the lads over last Saturday for beers in the garden and a bit of horse racing on the telly. Friday afternoon booked a home delivery for a load of ale and some crisps. Saturday morning comes, the driver knocks on my door with a bag of crisps! Told me the rest of the stuff was out of stock.
Phoned the store and some cheeky bastard says, "mate, we get over 600 home deliveries per weekend, do you expect us to contact everyone when something is out of stock?". I went all ghetto and high pitched on him and screeched down the phone, "who are you talkin to yer little maggot!!!" to which he put the phone down.

By now I'm starting to sweat, its 8am on Saturday and at 12pm I've got 8 lads coming to ours. Spoke to their customer service which is based overseas and was told at the time they picked my order there was no stock, they would refund my money the same day.
Ended up getting a cab up to the store to find the shelves stacked with ale galore so had to spend more money replacing what they failed to deliver.

By Tuesday they hadn't refunded my money, so despite phone calls and emails they kept trying to blame the bank, it eventually goes in on Thursday night. At this stage I got hold of the CEO's email and sent him a strongly worded letter of complaint.
Gets a reply yesterday, "yeah sorry about that, valued customer, blah, blah, blah, heres some e-vouchers, 2x £10 1x£5 ones". Just gone online, booked a slot, got a load of shopping and went to use my voucher, can only use one per transaction!

Phoned them again, was told "oh yeah, its a known glitch, keep trying or maybe try tomorrow". Absolute farce of a set up.

ASDA are twats and their pickers are often lazy c*nts who can't be arsed picking the heavy booze items to just say it's out of stock.

I wish I could spend the day watching football, smoking cannabis and eating pizza. A: I’m at the in-laws with my daughters. Great people but none of them are into football. B: cannabis is illegal where I live. C: we’re definitely not having pizza for dinner.

There's every chance that an online shopping order gets ruined by a lazy fucker doing the picking, but there is a chance that the shelf was empty when the picking was done, especially in the summer. At my store there's a three hour window between the start of picking, and all of the delivery being out on the shelves. Big problem with the online shopping is that when you're picking you're put under a lot of pressure with your picks per hour, and get a lot of shit if you substitute an item for something that ends up being sent back anyway, so you're reticent to replace cans with bottles, or pick a different brand.

I only do it when I'm free or when their department is short-staffed so don't have to worry about my timings so much, but the system basically pushes them into having to value output above standards unfortunately. Even to the point that they don't have time to go and look for one bulk order unless it's sitting right next to where it goes on the shelf.

No excuse for shite customer service and a broken website.

Stuff like beer gets hammered this time of the year too. If we take stock to the Tesco RDC in Goole, we have to do a store delivery on the way back home. Picked this trailer up for the Hindley store, summer, lovely weather and Euros going on. I thought the trailer felt a bit heavy, when I got there it was mainly beer. Store staff said they were getting hammered for beer, it was flying out as soon as it hit the shelves.

Sunburn. Went to the play off game today between Stockport County and Hartlepool, it was dull when I left the house so didn't even think of putting sun cream on, as soon as I got in the ground the sun comes out and we are in a stand with no roof so now I'm like a lobster.

That includes some members of my own family.

Fuck off ya snobby twats!

"You could get a fucking bus through there"

Normally you could - unless the other vehicle insisted on leaving a 4 foot gap between them and the stationery vehicle they're passing.

I know it's the ideal when passing a parked car to leave an open car door's width, but when there's limited space and another vehicle's coming in the opposite direction, that has to go out the fucking window,

It's not even that difficult, all you have to do is look at each car, is there anyone sat on that side of the car? No? Then its safe.

Scrolling twitter and seen one of those stupid money saving hacks.

Something like "Savvy mum shows how to save a guaranteed £5000 in six months with envelope trick."

The savvy mum's envelope trick was put £200 in an envelope every week for six months.

Or those articles about people in their early / mid-twenties and how they managed to buy their first home all by themselves (with a hefty deposit from mum and dad, buried somewhere in the fourth paragraph).

Jesus Christ, if either of our parents could afford to give us a deposit then we wouldn’t be paying more in rent for a two bedroom flat than we would on a three bedroom semi, would we?

[AndyMuller]

I watched a video doing the rounds of this American woman explaining how she pays £0 for a range rover and a ferrari or something. The way she done it was spend $800,000 on a building and then charges rent for each apartment which covered the car payments each month. What a load of shite.

A mother stops dead in front of me yesterday, while she and her offspring take up the entire pavement on a busy road.

A cyclist on the fucking pavement weaving all over the place while I was on a run.

Mate, this isn't the Monaco GP, you don't need to warm your tyres up.

Either learn to ride in a straight line or fuck the bike off and walk.

I worked there for 5 years - do they still push “pick rates”? Was a massive kick off with the union in our store after the HS mgr basically told the team they needed to pick 130 items per hour or their jobs would be at risk. Americanised model of pushing shit out as quickly as possible with little to no emphasis on quality. You go in the back to find an item not out on the shelves and you’ve lost 10-15 items from your “rate” and risk a disciplinary. Scummy

People who can't take feedback.

I work for a company that has a mobile app.

That app has many different versions.

There is a certain feature that is only available on the latest version of the app.

We have been rolling out that feature bit by bit to customers on the latest version of said app. We've prioritised customers who use the app the most first.

We've now finished that roll out to all customers who've used the latest version of the app.

We've seen no real impact on the call center of customers unable to use the feature. This scares people.

So they want to "test" 100k digitally not active customers who are on an old version of the app.

You know, the old version that doesn't have the feature.

We are rolling out a feature to customers that can't use that feature.

These people are paid a six figure salary.

Walking through downtown Chicago just now, place is a ghost town, closed down businesses everywhere, it's depressing. But the office buildings have nice landscaping out front, shrubs, flowers etc., which create nice little areas to sit for a coffee. Then I see this girl - I'd estimate 14 yrs old - just blatantly lob this massive milkshake type drink, with a lid that came off mid-throw, into these shrubs. I was stunned and opened my mouth to say something, but just left it. Disgusting.
