Asda's bias against babies

Norwich's Asda store has recently halved the number of parking spaces for people with young children. Yet they have kept the exrtaordianry amount of always empty disabled parking spots.

What has Asda got against people with children shopping there ?

In future I will do my major shopping at Sainsbury's in Costessey who have plenty parking spaces for people with prams and pushchairs.

P.S. And on a separate note, why do Asda and Sainsbury's own brand vinegars come in identical bottles (I know, they are bottled by the same company) but Asda's comes without a pourer in the top. Presumably that is so Asda can save the 0.1 pence that it costs to manufacture this. Asda really is the pits.

Asda/Walmart - The unacceptable face of capitalism

Asda have a policy of not including size zero (UK size 4) models in their adverts. However, in a show of utter hypocrisy, Asda will now stock size zero clothes in their George range of clothing. Read about it HERE.

It seems that ethics have no role to play in Asda or Walmart and that encourging or taking advantages of people with eating disorders is more important that having real values.

I'll be avoiding Asda. I'm sure they'll not miss my trade, but if others did the same ?

That's Asda Price

The War on Wany report about Asda, Tesco and Primark selling goods where the factory workers in impoverished countries are receiving as little as five pence an hour should not come as a shock.

I've bough a couple of T-shirts from Primark for as little as four pounds each. I never assumed the workers were earning the UK minimum wage because they wouldn't make a profit on just £4.

The fact is that UK shoppers want cheap clothes as an option.

What I was confused about was the War on Want wanted consumers to "write to the shops telling them how unhappy they" and want the government to "introduce leglislation". They don't actually make clear what they want the legislation to say or even tell us in their report what they would do.

I'm not advocating that paying slave wages is good, but 5p an hour relative to no income at all in a poor country where there is no welfare state is different from earning 5p an hour in the UK. We do need to look at it in relative terms. I would be happy to pay more for my T-shirts, but will all shoppers ?
