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?

[-] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

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

[-] scholar@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

It has a close competitor named Qwerty

[-] KryptonNerd@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 months ago

It's short for associated dairies

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

[-] trueheresy@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

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 3 months ago

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

[-] trueheresy@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

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.
