    just a quick question for you all about SS tills and the TS version of the pinky. I have used the pinky and the ts version on the self scan - pinky goes through fine and asks me to put it in the slot - the ts version also scans fine - says 'free item' and then asks me to put the item in the bagging area. this has happened twice in 2 different stores and then, as i havent had anything to put in the bagging area it has prompted the sa to come over - who has luckily just scanned a code in and gone away again without looking at it too much. so my question is - is there any way to stop this from happening as obviously there is more risk of the coupons not being allowed if this happens....

    thanks xxx

    Hi

    Excellent shop.

    Did these go through without beeping. I tried this last week, it beeped and the cashier refused to override.

  • Just want to check that the following combo will work...

    No7 For Men Anti-shine lotion x3 at £6.50 each = £19.50
    No7 For Men GWP bag
    342 kicks in so £13.00
    TS + pinky = £3.00 to pay

    TIA :)

    Sorry if this is simple, bu what is TS - i understand pinky ( the pink No7 voucher) but not sure what this is - this sounds like a bargain to be had!!

    Thanks in advance

    Whats a pinkie? :o
  • TS= till spit, a voucher printed by the till.

    Currently you are given a pink No 7 voucher, "pinkie", on a £5 spend by the SA. In some stores these vouchers are issued in the form of a till spit instead of a "pinkie".
    If you are lucky enough to have a tillspit and a pinkie these can be used together to get a total of £10 off

    Hi Mel

    Yup, went through with no beeps. Not sure if the lipstick vouchers are still in date (the printable ones that were around a few weeks ago) but possible 441 there ! ;)

    The lippy ones have run out - I had to throw mine away yesterday.
    I totally forgot to use them! Doh!
    "Buy me, Lady", said the frock, "and I will make you into a BEAUTIFUL & WHOLE & COMPLETE human being".
    "Do not be silly", said the Man, "for a frock alone cannot do that".
    "True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".
