Ray,
I must admit the thought of going to a supermarket doesn't appeal to
me. I'm quite happy shopping with Sainsburys or Tesco, both have their =
pros
and cons. I like doing my shopping with a glass of vino in hand, seems =
much
more civilized somehow!
I'm never going to live down the L3o9ie thing am I? *Smile. Tink was
so much easier, but I kept getting too close to signing work emails with =
my
nick, so figured better safe than sorry and to hell with some =
applications
not liking the accent.
Regards,
L=E9onie.=20

Must say , Graham's comment obliges me to say that I have never seen
L=3DE9onie as we must call her now, as an ASDA customer!
I love fish fingers, and bought some ata similar price at Saver Centre =
in
Oldbury. Doubt that much fish, if any found its way into them! Point =
of
saying all this?
Try and live very neara supermarket, as I do. You aren't much tempted =
to
get into all the tech access issues that keep coming up here. Maybe =
some
physical access issues but that's maybe OT on this list.

Graham and all,
Thanks for your responses. Until recently, I too wasn't in an area that =
Asda
delivered to. Considering I live in a city, only a couple of =3D miles =
from a
large Asda, this has always struck me as strange, but that's not =3D why =
I
sent the email.
I was disappointed to find the Asda site much more difficult to use than
either Tesco or Sainsbury. No headings or lists that I could find, =
missing
alt text in some awkward places, too much JavaScript all over =3D the =
place
and the most ridiculous chicken counter I've ever come across.
OK, so the last one has nothing to do with accessibility or usability, =
but
am I the only one that finds the following completely =3D daft?
You can choose from a selection of chickens weighing in at around 1.2k
through 1.5k, but nothing bigger. Given Asda is a family =3D =
supermarket, this
is strange in itself, but it gets worse.
There are a couple of chickens which you can buy on a per kilo basis. =
The
price per kilo is given, but there is no way to choose the =3D weight =
you'd
like.
I spoke with customer services, who shrugged and said, well "you just =
buy
the chicken". I asked how I would know what size chicken I'd be getting =
or
what price I'd be charged and there was a long pause and then =3D the =
person
eventually said, "I have no idea, I can't help you out on this =3D one".
Maybe I was unlucky, maybe I am missing something, but either way, I'm =
back
to Sainsburys in a hurry I think.
Regards,
L=3DE9onie.
