Asda Superstore

Now, I must admit I’m not an ASDA fan (never have liked their store ambience) and prefer Sainsbury’s but we’ve not got one (unless you go to Sleaford or Spalding) or order online - but I do come for my prescriptions and I some of the Homeware and clothing ranges represent value and quality. I’ve always found the staff amenable and kind, but what bugs me is your entrance layout. Say you just want to visit for the Pharmacy - or even Travel Money - you’ve made the usual exit barriers ‘emergency exit only’. So, one has to go through the self service checkout to get out the store. Not so much an issue unless it’s a busy afternoon and you’ve got to get past people (who rightly believe you’re jumping the queue). I don’t understand why the exit barriers (by Customer Service) are not allowed to be used as once were in years past as an exit. One still has to pass by the manned security CCTV desk so it does not bypass this or mean a shoplifter is given some extra chance or avoiding detection. What it does do is cause people like me who have not come to shop in store more of a problem. Oh, and god help you if you go through the barriers (they are alarmed) and Mr Security is most unhappy and alarmed himself.

Friendly and helpful staff, always service with a smile! :) supermarket with lots of variety to offer including a cake shop, bakery, George home and clothing etc and a good sized customer restaurant and toilets in store too. Lots of parking, enough parent and child spaces too. Click and collect is simple and efficient as well.

It's a large supermarket in the centre of the town, so it becomes a staple weekly shop for many of the residents of Boston. It has everything you would need in terms of food (which vary in price depending on the quality you want i.e. Smart Price and Extra Special) and nutritional intake such as WeightWatchers products. Also sells a wide variety of clothes, books, stationary etc. which are also relatively cheaper than other places in Boston. This supermarket is always prepared for seasonal events such as Christmas and Easter, and have a range of season-related items to choose from. The staff have good customer service skills and are quick to attend to a problem you have, and keep the store organised and clean. This store also has a Cafe and Pharmacy but I personally wouldn't recommend either, which is why I rated ASDA Boston 4 stars. I would highly recommend going to other Cafes in town and a different pharmacy as this one for me has always been slow with prescriptions.
