i am desperate for a pinky but can't really afford to keep spending £5 to get them i tried to get one today with as little spend as possible. The till prompted the SA to give me one but she refused :mad: I know i hadn't quite spent the £5 as i handed over a voucher which took the amount down but the till saw i had spent the right amount so i should have got one why are they judge and jurry if the till says to give one then they should do their job. I asked if i could have it and she no and next please. Sorry rant over but i can't keep affording to waste money if im not going to get one.

That's awful if the till told her to give you one she should have, I have a till spit one (No7 etc) if you want, pm your addy

These never go through SS tills though as the barcode is behind opaque (ish) packaging and always has to be manually input by SA, IYSWIM

You wouldn't need to do this specifically at a SS everytime anyway as it's perfectly legit and none flustering at manned tills, so no need for SS....Although i do them at the SS - just hold the packaging firmly and stretch and they scan.

....But.... there is actually an overide button option on SS tills where you can type in the barcode yourself. I was forever doing this on the old style TD toners as the round bottle made it a nightmare to scan.

So there madam..! :rotfl:

Great shops today mostly on SS. Goods worth £80, spent £5 cash, gained £21 points!!

3 No7 compact powders for £1.50 each with 250points, used pinky and till spit.

No7 GWP and 2 facial suncare for 50p using pinky and till spit.

5 lots of mens TD free and 200points each time.

3 lots reduced TD with 200points.

Managed to collect a few SS spits, if anyone wants a swap SS for pinky let me know, swapped a pinky myself yesterday, didn't think I'd be getting any more SS ones, lol!!!

Hi everyone,
After posting on here last night about my fothcoming trip to Brent Cross today to do some Boosting (my 3rd Boots store since I got back from my holiday on Thursday night - I must be addicted!!!) or should I say just went to Brent Cross to get my youngest DD some school shoes, I was really pleased to see that they had self service tills. I am a now a wizz at the tescos SS tills and go on the tills sometimes for my job too so after finding that this store had the No7 lash Extensions mascara for £5.25 (I got it price checked as showing full price) and also saw the old pink No7 GWP box and the more recent GWP palette I thought I would check out the SS tills to see if they came up free and so armed with TS long hair intensive conditioner (£5.99) as they had run out of the pink serum and some TS blonde conditioner (£4.49), a TD gradual tan moisuriser (£5.50) and a mitchum spray deodorant and roll on (I finally got six to a page to print after reading a earlier page on here with the link to it - thanks alot whoever it was) I headed over to them. My two younger DD's were keen to put my stuff through and when I tried the palette it was £9.50 so I decided I didn't want it so clicked on the button to remove it and thought I was doing fine but it asked for an overide. The SA came over and started to mess about with it but she was having problems and deleted the wrong stuff and when she tried to put my TS voucher in she couldn't get it in and after spending 5 minutes trying to get it in she succeeded but because I picked up a pink No7 GWP box which scanned at £3 but didn't realise that it wouldn't work with the pink No7 tillspit that I tried to put in after she then got annoyed and said she would have to start it all over again. This meant that she had to open up the whole till to get my TS voucher out!! Opening up the till must have messed it up and it wouldnt recognise items being put in the bags and she got annoyed with it and took my shopping out and gave it to a normal till which I wish I had gone to in the first place!!!! I was also told by her and the next SA that I couldn't use the mitchum vouchers in the store because the mitchum is already on offer (although they let me use the Boots TD 200 points, the No7 250 points and the TS one!!!) so because I just wanted to get out I just paid for everything and left.
Sally06 - I know you are back from your holiday too and I just wondered if you had tried the mitchum vouchers in our local at all?
On a high note after a pretext of looking for the Apple Store and my DH and DD's went back to the car I went back to Boots and brought another No7 Lash extensions with my No7 pinkie for 25p and a TD toner for nothing but another 200 points and used my points to pay for a reduced Anna Sui Flight of Fantasy perfume - 75ml for £19.95 and my points have gone down to 225!!! No signs of any mags in here and I know my local had quite a few when I went in on Friday so I guess I will have to go back to my local to get a couple more before the vouchers and skincare till spits run out!!!
Sorry for the long post - just needed a little rant and to warn anyone lese thinking of tryng the SS tills!!!

Does anyone know if the 'save 1/3 on selected Toni & Guy' on .com is in stores too? Just wondering what's the cheapest I can buy to use the vouchers for 200 pts

Not sure if I'll bother with the Model Me ones though....... that's all quite expensive I think.

For what it's worth I'd just walk straight back in as if nothing's happened, the sooner the better, and do your shopping as normal. It's only since reading this that I've found out 'wombling' isn't allowed and I'm sure if I hadn't have read about it here, and spotted any vouchers that had been left, I'd have been tempted too. (Not likely to happen where I shop though - haven't ever seen any left at the tills lol).

There's no point in beating yourself up about it - people make mistakes all the time and in the scheme of things it all seems minor imho.

Good luck all the same x

Thankyou passion8, i went today, not been back home long. Nearly lost my advantage card. The till foze and so didn't get my recipt and forgot to get my card out, didn't reliase till the sa came after me as i was leaving the shop, it was really good of him to do that.
