5.3.11 ASDA 10% Offer

What a bloody joke that is!  A simple fact regarding the non-availability of stuff means that the promise to be cheaper than other supermarkets or there'll be a 10% refund available is a waste of time.  Example as follows:

I wanted to purchase 20 cans of Carlsberg at £13.  But the shelf was empty.  So, I was forced to purchase 12 cans for £10 instead, the only other option.  So, instead of 65p per can, I paid 83.3p per can.  That's an increased cost of 18.3p over the cheaper price, and so a forced increase of 28.2%.  So much for charging less!  Within ASDA's own fuckin branch, there was a hike in price far greater than any supposed/perceived saving against prices (including offers) from other supermarkets.  So, NOT 10% cheaper or a refund - 28% more expensive than your own fuckin goods!

ASDA - get sorted, and stop fucking us about!
