Have you ever been to an asda?

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The only "asda" I know are the letters I type when I'm trying to make sure my keyboard works. (Sometimes "f" sneaks in there too.)

It's a cheap supermarket in the UK

Thanks, that clarifies the... Aliens?

I think they're saying poor people are so weird and gross they must be aliens.

Nah, I just know the expression "Walmartians" and I wanted to translate it into a European context.

It was a cheap supermarket in the UK. According to Which it’s more expensive than 4 or 5 other supermarkets now.

Hmm, I wonder how they named it? Maybe with a keyboard they weren't sure was working?

[–] scholar@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

It has a close competitor named Qwerty

[–] KryptonNerd@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

It's short for associated dairies

[–] trueheresy@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s owned by Walmart and is not too dissimilar if that helps give some context. The big superstores much more so, the smaller stores have much less product variety.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Apparently 10% owned by Wal*Mart and 67% owned by TDR Capital.

Oh wow, I was way off with my info! Thanks for letting me know… I know nothing of TDR Capital and yet have a feeling I don’t even want to look into them for the sake of my mental health.
