I usually shop at Tescos who are great and accommodating to NHS employees. After a long day at work Ive gone to the front of the queue on a few occasions and Tescos have always let me in when I've shown my NHS card. The checkout assistants in store have even told me that that is Tescos policy to do this for NHS staff.
I went into the Asda in Huyton and was told by a rude little male member of staff that I could not have priority entry as NHS staff, and I should come back between 8-9 Mon Wed and Friday 'when NHS can shop'. I told him I couldn't do this as I have to do the school run at this time before rushing into a long day at work, but he still wouldn't let me go in.
SHAME ON YOU ASDA!
