Former B&M and Asda employee reveals 'rudest' customer habits behind the scenes

A former B&M employee has shared what it's really like behind the scenes at the iconic bargain store.
Beloved for its treasure trove of deals hidden within its packed aisles, bargain hunters can spend hours scouring its shelves for deals of all kinds.

Looking back to his time at other stores, Darren also shared the 'rudest' customer habits. He said customers would leave staff "in tears" when he worked at Asda.
It's no secret that you want to be first to the yellow sticker products. However, Darren says some customers would get pushy and impatient.

"People would hang around waiting to be the very first to
