Hi AB Thought I might see you in store to ask this question, but doubt it now as I feel all fluey But what's the reasoning behind no more TS's?

Tia.

now then passion you sexy little beast! Hope your feeling a bit better.

There has been no official word as to why they are stopping the till spits AFAIK. From a staff point of view, we much prefer to have paper vouchers than the till spits (in our store anyway) for various reasons. There's nothing more annoying having a till roll that doesn't have the red mark to indicated it's about to run out, then the roll runs out during printing of the receipt or till spit!

Don't suppose anyone has got or has spotted a picture of the new 17 GWP?

*Hopeful look*

last week I got a no.7 eyeshadow paid with pinky and £2, should I have got another pinky?
Also when you pay for something over a £5 with point should you get a pinky? Cos I didn't!

No, and no hun. You would have had to buy something else to make your spend up to £5 after using the pinky in order to gain a new pinky. Also you can't use any vouchers when paying with points, and you can't earn any either unfortunately.

Question for Boots staff - does your staff discount card get scanned at the beginning of a transaction or at the end?

Trying to work out whether I'll need to actually spend £20 on No7 for the GWP

The discount card can be swiped at any time from the start of the transaction right up until the end, as long as no forms of payment have been accepted i.e. manufacturers coupon.

now this is a first, me asking you lot for advice

The S&G GWP, what did it contain and what size?

If you we're to put a value on it, how much would you reckon it's RRP would be?

No sign of any new gwp's in Oxford city centre
Was really looking forward to having a look at the new No 7 ltd edition Christmas bits, but they were not on display and the SA's were packing away to go home!

Bought P&P day and night cream today, so gutted I missed out on the 500 points ACM vouchers! How annoying is it that the P&P night cream is £19.50- just 50 tiny pennies away from qualifying for the gwp

Well done to all those who managed to get sneaky peaks of the new gwp's :beer: The No.17 gwp sounds ace - v good value to get a mascara as well as the eyeshadows

Sally- sorry to hear about your bad experience with the R&M glitch- hope it wasn't too horrible and that you go back to that store with your head held high (& your basket full of goodies :j) very soon indeed

Its a lovely set, i'm regretting not getting one now. I wouldn't have paid more than £10 for it though. HTH

It contains:

50ml Flake Away
50ml Righteous Butter
75ml Calm one Calm all
75ml Clean on me
50ml Hair supply

I would say it is worth about £10.00 as the minis are priced at £2.00 to £2.25.

This may appear a silly question, but here goes!
There seems to be lots of lovely boots staff posting here, and you might know.
Are the toys showing OOS now, likely to be replenished on the website before Xmas, or is that it? IYKWIM. A lot of stuff on .com is not in the shops. (not mine anyway)
Don't know whether to try and sit patiently for a bit longer, or cut my losses and shop elsewhere?
Can anyone shed any light??
Thank you

Ok I'll try my best so here goes.

When we use the instore ordering system, if something comes up 'out of stock' it means that they are likely to be getting more in. If it comes up 'sold out' there is no more stock and it is now discontinued.

Transferring that knowledge to .com, my prespective of it is this:
If it says 'currently out of stock', it is likely that more stock will come in.
If it says 'out of stock' (without the currently) then it is discontinued.

As a guide, item code 2144336 is a discontinued product, item 5600030 is sold out but not discontinued.

That is my take on it, but it may be wrong! You can alwyas give .com customer service a call. They should have an approximate idea of when something should arrive back in stock, but bare in mind (especially at this time of year) that these can change.

HTH
