  • As I posted over on the other thread..I've reached the end of the line at my small local Boots. I was going in every lunchtime this week to pick up a TD product but today I was refused my one item purchase.

    They obviously recognized me as I approached the TD shelf. The shelf packer ran off to alert the SA's and security was called over to the front till to stand guard.

    As I handed the SA the item, she grabbed it off me and told me it was one per customer across all Boots stores. I said that wasn't on the voucher terms. She said I was abusing the offer. I said she was making me feel like a shoplifter (what with the queue of interested people behind me). We reached deadlock so I said I'd give the voucher to someone else.

    I wonder if I am now in the Boots file under "Voucher Abuser". I can't show my face there again - it was highly embarrassing.

    Yep, I got 11 packs of face wipes today as the only thing on the shelf at under a fiver!! The girl behind the till was really sweet about it and just said I couldn't have a refund as they were cosmetics!!!! (Potters Bar Branch)

    I'd loved to have seen that - can't you go in disguise next time?!!!

    You're not the abuser - it's their marketing department have mucked up!

    I went to St. Annes and Lytham today ...NOTHING
  • Have scoured the shelves in Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Stowmarket and Norwich today!!!! All the products are mysteriously (not) 'out of stock'. So hope I am saving you a wasted journey. Mind you, tis my own fault for telling all my friends! There was a stampede out of my office the other lunchtime. Hilarious. Good old Boots xx
