    S&G Scarlett :) (And "Boots" down the side of the gold ones? That's bad, lol)

    I agree! I hadn't noticed it at first and was showing them off to daughter and saying "Look, you can give your friends their xmas presents in style" and she said "oooh look, they all say "Boots"........ good job all their presents are FROM Boots" :rolleyes: :rotfl:

    It's on each side, by the 'crease', so you wouldn't notice it straight away I suspect :)
    You can't control everything in life....... your hair was put on your head to remind you of that :p

    My OH is buying me a bottle of Sensuous for Christmas. I've just done a virtual shopping basket on .com, consisting of a 100ml bottle (£65), plus Estee Lauder lip gloss gift set (£25) and EL holiday eyeshadow set (£20) plus free EL sample duo. Total £110 but with 3940 points back, which in bootsing logic means the lot is really costing £70.60 - the two gift sets are costing only £5.60 more than he was going to spend on the perfume anyway......

    Think he'll "buy" it? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:


    GHD IV are O/S on .com (another xmas present) and I really wanted them whilst the 1500 points are on offer - anyone know if the mini GHD's are as good? Or how they differ from the mark IV's? TIA :beer: http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=48764&callingViewName=&langId=-1&catalogId=11051

    Cs just phoned me back, they are going to do a investiagtion, it looks like its all been blamed on me, they are going to check the cctv footage so see if i have been abusive and imidating, also they are going to get the loss preventation team to look in to my account as according to the store i have been using lots of vouchers. So if they find i have been doing what they say i have, i will have my card took off me and if any further incidents happen then they will issue a ban to that store. I have never been abusive and imtidating and i have not used lots of vouchers, i learnt my lesson back in may. I have asked for it to be send to me in writting.
    I wouldn't wait for the outcome of the investigation - go and spend all your points tomorrow. (In another store of course!)

    As long as the vouchers you've been using are legit then you've no problems there.

    This all sounds to me like the sods have stitched you up cos you've complained.

    Ask for a copy of the CCTV footage that shows you being intimidating and abusive.

    It was cs that i first made the complaint to, have spoken to the manager of the store today and they are going to speak to the staff and they said sorry and that they were disspointed in their staff, they gave me their name in case i had any other problems in the store. There was no mention of points been offered, do you think i should phone cs back and ask them.

    I realise that others have given you some good advice moneysaver12, but the last thing I'd do is ask for any points in relation to 'bad' service. When I complained to CS once, I was so fed up of the attitude of a small minority of SAs in our larger store, that I specifically asked CS not to give me any extra points, and that I'd rather have a better quality of service - like good manners etc - than points. It actually had the reverse effect and I did get points added, but I'd far rather have seen an improvement in staff training than points.

    If I was you, I'd draft a letter, not an email, and run it by a poster on here that you know you can trust (not in the main forum, by PM), as the less you say publicly from now on, the better it seems imho. I'm sure by what you've already posted that Boots have 'marked' your card, so catalogue everything that's happened to you in the last few months and get it down in writing whilst it's all still fresh in your memory.

    I'm seriously considering writing another mail myself, about the same small minority of SAs that are guaranteed to make what should be a pleasant day's shopping into a chore. Boots might think that you're only one person, but you're also one person that can influence how others reading this forum can see how Boots and Boots CS are treating certain shoppers. And in your case, although there's only one side to it so far, it all seems pretty shabby.

    But get those points spent asap.

    Good luck.

    Forget the last part of my post - it seems you've got rid of a few points :);)
