    I think the easiest solution is NOT to use a self service checkout???

    I would face the same problem :confused:
  • The only reason why I feel that I have been banned is because the store might have received a lot of coupon abuse over the last few months or so, and have just pointed the blame on me.

    I am going into see the manager again, to hopefully once and for all, clear this matter up and will let you know the outcome.
    I've been thinking about this, and it's the Clubcard bit that's getting to me.

    You are quite happy to use a manufacturers coupon (that you have to go to the hassle of printing out, etc) to get them to subsidise your shopping when you don't buy their products, but you thought to use a Clubcard as well would be asking too much?
    I find this hard to believe.

    is the real reason that you don't use a Clubcard the fact that you don't want Tesco to see what you have been doing? Is this a regular ploy of people who use coupons?
    If you had have used a Clubcard all this time, do you think Tesco would have seen something they didn't like?

    Nothing you have done is an excuse for the way that they haven't told you what their issue is, but it seems to me that you know you have been doing something very close to, if not overstepping, the line.
    We're here to help you. We don't know who you are, so it doesn't matter if you tell us the truth. If you've done something illegal then you may get slated for it, but so what. There's no point in a bunch of people you don't know being all supportive because you've only told half the story.

    So come on, why do YOU honestly think you have been banned? And to what extent are you guilty of what you think they are accusing you of?

    But then why did you write that reply? You wanted to get your point of view across right?

    So did I.

    Point taken :p - but it is all summising (sp?) - which is in my little 'ole opinion - pointless.
  • I really hate people who make money out of people when they can just share the widely available vouchers in the first place.

    Could we all report the seller on eBay, as the vouchers are not to be resold, and this is what I would class as Coupon Misuse.

    bit pointless in the seller saying they will post worldwide when the vouchers are for uk only

    Hope that wasn't personally aimed at myself, as I am totally against reselling tickets/coupons to make money.

    Did you manage to get back to Tesco today?

    I was thinking about you earlier, it must be very stressful to be banned from your local supermarket. Let us know how you get on (and stay away from the self scan tills in future - that way they've only got their own till assistants to blame).

    Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."
