    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).

    I wrote a letter and was send an email promising a call back for today.

    But no call has been made as of yet, and I'm not up for returning into store until this issue is finally sorted, as the security were quite intimidating.

    Are you expecting them to lift the ban?

    Also do you use the magnitude of coupons you use in tesco in sainsburys with your nectar card?
  • Yes it has been lifted.

    I was told using anymore than two coupons a week, was Coupon Abuse.

    Unacceptable.

    Stop with your personal diggs. If your not willing to give constructive criticism or advise, please don't even reply to this thread I have created.

    If Sainsbury's offered the same policy, I would.

    Something smells funny you not having a clubcard and then using ALOT of coupons. Tim was right something does seem funny.

    and am I no longer allowed an opinion?
  • Your welcome to your opinion, but NOT if it's a personal digg against anyone on here, like a few of your posts.

    2 coupons per week/fortnight for 2 months?
    Around 10-15 coupons over the last 2 months?
    Still smelling like coupon abuse to you?

    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.

    might not just be blaming you, but anyone they feel are 'abusing' the coupon policy as uktim
    pointed out, if the store is sending in more vouchers for an item than the actual units sold they won't get any money back for them so, as this policy is at managers discretion (from what i read earlier) certain stores may be getting told by head office to clamp down a bit more (possibility, I've worked in large companies before and there were a few differences from one place to another, even if it was against 'general' terms (sorry if that sounds a bit rambly lol)
