Shoppers say their trips to a north Bristol supermarket are becoming a nuisance due to trolley shortages at the store. Asda has confirmed that it is aware of trolleys being "taken" from its Filton branch.
The store is close to the UWE (University of the West of England) campus, and one customer claims she was told that university students were suspected to be responsible. Asda has not confirmed this, however, and a UWE spokesperson said that if any abandoned trolleys are ever found on campus they are returned by staff.
Betty Goodfellow, who lives by Filton Abbeywood station, has made a number of complaints to the the store. She said: “This has been an issue for months now and no matter how many times you complain you get the same answer. When I spoke to the duty manager he said that the students at UWE were taking the trolleys but offered no resolution to the problem."
