Sales price £5:20. I hand them £10 plus 20p in change. looking for for a nice £5 :j If I can try and explain; a couple of time when I've been charged just over a £10 note, I add the difference in change to help the assistant give me back a plain £5. A few times they count of the original change and also had back the change…

Sainsburys 'double' Nectar points offer!
Our Nectar points come from our Sainsburys purchases only so when my OH redeemed points for a voucher doubling up the value, she thought that was a really good deal. However, since Sainsburys halved points earlier in the year, this is hardly a great deal is it!

Just a quick warning. I sent off a picture to the Picanova offer and entered the discount code, expecting to receive two prints of the picture I sent. Only one arrived and when I asked why they said it was because I had only sent one picture. There was no warning that I had to send two pictures so be careful you don't get…

Why do I feel PETTY when shops overcharge me?
So today I was overcharged by 90p in total, across three items. I never used to complain for the odd 10/20p, but in these times I've been a lot more on the ball with my receipts. However in requesting the money back I just feel realllllly petty and an inconvenience, when I know I shouldn't, as it's the principal right? But…

Bet365 viewing football a bit of a con!
I have used streaming sites in the past and they were not very good. I was advised to use bet365, so I gave it a go, it took time to register and make a deposit.

Currys/PC World false advertising & unbelieavably inept customer service

Apple Store getting a bit arrogant and complacent
I went into an Apple Store today to check out a couple of things and to see if there was any point in resurrecting an old iPhone. They didn't have any available slots to see a techie, and the bloke taking the bookings was brusque and matter of fact. They've got a new trackpad out, but the two demo units had run out of…
