Clever, the way they've stripped out all the obvious differences between a warehouse (very high shelves, fork lifts everywhere, cold, less desirable work location for nipping out for lunch, etc etc etc) and a supermarket. Employers can, and do, have to pay more to attract people to work in less desirable environments. The gender balance in the different workplaces is entirely incidental to this case and the lawyers have made another clanging great big generalisation in attempting to disguise this. If there are men and women in both locations, then it is trivially easy to establish whether Asda pays equally by comparing like with like.
