Chaos at Asda over Tubs of Chocolates
Other
Just been to Asda, absolute chaos over 2 tubs of chocolates for £5 lol , tills crashed, stacks of tubs everywhere due to people not understanding 2 per customer only women Infront of us had 24 tubs in her trolley, had to switch to another checkout, unbelievable
Tubs are smaller 550grams
Leannexxx we watched her and an Asda worker helped her fill the trolley, when she went to checkout she was told she could only have 2 lol
martinlufc5637 i bet she didn’t put them tubs back even though it probably said 2 tubs max per customer
jms19 no they didn't put them back, just piled up on top of the rest that was left, they where all over the floor, I had to kick tubs out of way just to walk past, people shouting and carrying on because the app was down
Leannexxx ...Takes me back to when my friend & I were at Tesco in the well heeled part of Sheffield..
The punnets of Strawberries were knocked down to 50p a punnet & these two GREEDY women had a TROLLEY FULL of punnets ,my friend grabbed one of the punnets left telling me to get one for myself before those women took them all..
The GREEDY women just looked so smug..
janphoenix51 honestly I really don't get it why take it all ? I can honestly I've never done anything like that even when people went crazy before lockdown I think it's just selfish
.n@Leannexxx ....EXACTLY, if there is a bargain to be had I do buy something sometimes BUT if there's only enough ..
I HATE greed of any kind...
It's the same in my local store. People with their trollies stacked full, queues of people stressing their not going to get any. It takes me back to COVID and toilet roll gate 
. It's tubs of sweets ffs, get a life 
Sammycb worse than COVID lol smaller tubs too, definitely not normal size tubs you'd usually buy, last year's tubs 600 this year's 550 , top tub is this year's, bottom last year's
martinlufc5637 That's actually shocking. My dad was just saying last week how the tubs of Celebrations looked smaller. He'd obviously been eyeing them up as their his favourite 
Sammycb we save the tubs because my wife's bakes cakes and they are perfect size to put them in, there is no way she'll get a cake in these smaller tubs
Our of curiosity I checked this tub which is in my cupboard and holds a lot of my cake making stuff. I expect next year will be even smaller. (Not sure how long I have had this).
Lynibis we have one from last year and it's the same as this 650g, this year's 550g, this year's doesn't have the wrapper weight, so it's less than 550
Absolute madness in my local store, people buying these sweets not getting voucher App to work , clogging up the tills. Limited number of stressed staff trying to sort things. What an ill thought out idea by Asda
jms19 you can go down and they'll do them for 2 for £5, that's what they was doing earlier
martinlufc5637 Hmm in the Asda I went they were saying there was nothing they could do so a lot of people were just leaving the chocolate boxes all across the store. Luckily for me the app came back on line before i left so i managed to nab a couple of boxes.
jms19 they just put it through the till at £2.50 each, and we still have the unused voucher
martinlufc5637 I didn't even bother in the end. I've decided just to buy larger bars of chocolate and look out for deals on the bigger size share bags. My family will appreciate that much better 
A lot of them take them to sell on for profit or in there shops. I've seen it so many times
The Asda app is working again. I’ve taken a screenshot of the cho offer plus I have a free £5 off voucher.
Sad that any deal would cause actual chaos - let alone over chocolate! I won't be buying any 
Why are people so greedy, if it was printed in huge print for customers to see they would still choose to ignore it. I’d get a couple and that’s it but probably none left now.
Surprisingly my Asda was quite calm. My. Dad went and he said the code wasn't scanning and that was literally the only problem.
I don't tend to buy the tubs of chocolate but I am shocked that it has caused so much chaos. I'm rarely in my local Asda but usually not enough staff anyway so ours was probably mad too. 24 tubs is just ridiculous.
The tubs are £6 each or two for £9 and there is an additional £4 off I think on the app that can be used once to make it £5 for two. I assume you can buy the offer multiple times at £9 but can only apply the £4 off once on the app. It doesn't seem complicated to me but so many people are completely unreasonable.
You can maybe understand this sort of behaviour if you are trying to save a fair old chunk on a TV or similar on Black Friday, but do people really forget how to act properly for the sake of a couple of quid on some chocolates!
Yeah the way its going you will need to use an atomic microscope to find these chocolates in the future. Shrinkflation is getting ridiculous. I could have gone to Asda today to get the offer but the app isn't working and won't be going over the weekend. It would be nice if they extended the offer to Monday as well consider the app wasn't working but I doubt they will do that.
I seriously don’t see the panic. It’s tubs of chocolate 
It’s just what the retailers want - more publicity for their offers without coughing up more for ads
Swizzle Tubs were HALF PRICE at £2.50 in Iceland, I was shopping there on Thursday afternoon after walking from work.. There was a lady who bought 6 tubs after asking the till operator if the offer was limited to 2 tubs, it wasn't...
TheChimp ...No, buying for Hallowéen & to give to her family, I think she helps out at a children's centre...
That is sheer madness, these items will be back on offer at different supermarkets probably quite a few times between now and Xmas.
I went to Asda yesterday and their app was down, but the cashiers had printed coupon codes so you could still get the offer, but single use per app of course.
The tubs of chocolates aren't as tasty as they used to be. They were much better when they were in tins. And larger too.
I hope Asda have a couple of tubs tomorrow for me. I’ll keep my fingers crossed as they are a gift for the couple we’re going to have lunch with.
Omg 
that’s really greedy behaviour pfft and read the damn terms and conditions ffs 
urgh these people are awful
It’s crazy the way people can be. No issue in ours they didn’t even have them yesterday afternoon, when I popped in especially thinking that on a Saturday I stood a chance. I was expecting big pallet loads like they usually have - no doubt they will appear on Monday!!!
I did see in another supermarket that the celebrations tubs had shrunk again so it might not have been a huge loss after all.
I always have memories of being a kid (80s) and my Gran buying Roses and Quality Street tins or the jars and they seemed massive compared to, today’s
I managed to get to Asda today. First time I used their app, fortunately a lovely member of staff at checkout helped. She scanned my membership then the screenshots for the 2 tubs of chocolates plus my free £5 voucher.
24 tubs of chocolates that's just greedy. Bet she's going to sell them on afterwards. Selfish actions if a few
