Customer Service

Pros:

  • "I eventually got through to the store and spoke to the very helpful Nicola."

  • "Asked a young male assistant for help with finding a product and he tutted and dropped the box that he was holding."

Store Experience

Pros:

  • "The store is well stocked and every member of staff is very busy merchandising. All areas are clearly marked and shelves are clean and organized."
  • "A pretty good store, massive variety and a really good clothes section. Only issue really is it does look a little outdated in places."
  • "This is a great Asda, very large in size and well stocked with all the usual quality products at relatively low prices you would expect to find here."
  • "I love Asda it's so friendly easy to get round and has everything I need."
  • "This Asda is exceptionally big and appeared to be well organised and stocked up."
  • "This store is big and has good availability of products."
  • "Asda is a store that gives me value for my money the fruit & veg is always fresh and Asda has a lot of products including household."

Cons:

  • "Some workers in the Farnborough store look like they just come off the streets and have very bad hygiene yuk!!!"
  • "Very poor service and management! They need to have a look at who they hire in their store."
  • "Fresh veg does not have much life in it and chicken breasts are as described in the industry as 'woody' meaning it is tough and used to be passed into the animal food chain."
  • "This has got to be the worse Asda I have been in. The minute you enter the shop you get hit by the smell of wee coming from the toilet."
  • "Some aspects are good such as price but not by much. Fresh produce is definitely going downhill."
  • "Worse self checkouts ever. The machines are out dated."
  • "They don't answer their phones, their glasses are shoddy and their staff are lacking in every department."

Parking and Accessibility

Pros:

  • "Good parking and extended opening hours is a convenience for working people."
  • "Good as many Asda shops, with a click n collect. has parking.. and it's PAY AND DISPLAY... reasonable charges though."
  • "I've never paid to park here. I must've missed the signs. I've never been fined either."
  • "Can easily access the other part of centre from this Asda car park, and there is a Post office within Asda."
  • "Staff were friendly & helpful and the car park is huge."
  • "Really handy place to shop, with good value for money goods. This location is especially handy as there is a post office, pharmacy and opticians also within the store."
  • "This is a useful supermarket with good, low prices, main Royal Mail Post Office & collection point, Pharmacy, Opticians, George clothing department, toilet facilities, bank ATM."

Cons:

  • "Stay away from this store if you are driving, they charge for parking at the store and fine you when you are unaware that they are almost the only store in the country to charge you to park and the signage is poor, also most of the machines don't work... disgraceful!!!!"
  • "Total con artist parking. Dropped in to both asda and decathlon (£100 spend in 60 mins) and got a surprise parking ticket from a third party a few weeks later."
  • "PARKING CHARGES BEWARE ASDA Farnborough have now have a private parking company issuing tickets."
  • "Parking is pay and display and no refund at tills like most supermarkets that charge for parking do."
  • "Terrible signage, got a £70 parking ticket for less than an hour's stay."
  • "Got fined by Asda for picking up parcel from decathlon. No clear signage of parking rules and no explanation that parking opposite decathlon belongs to ASDA."
  • "It's a cruel fishing trap. I am waiting for the £70 charge to come."

Online Shopping Experience

Pros:

  • "We had a food delivery from Asda Farnborough today and our frozen food was not there and a cake was squashed. I phoned the store and spoke to the manager of the delivery department and with in 15 mins all our missing items were delivered and due to the store not having another cake they sent a bigger and better cake. Cannot fault the customer service from this manager."
  • "I quite like click and collect and never had a problem."
  • "Couldn't fault click and collect very good customer service."
  • "The que management becomes difficult on Sundays and busy hours so try scan and go that works best and cuts waiting time completely."
