In the village stores in God's own county but if it helps, I mainly shop in Hull, York, and Beverley, so it's like the surrounding areas of those places. But I really think that these will be in the larger stores and nationwide tomorrow or just after. hth x

(Don't all rush up/down here at once, and cancel that coach trip Angie100 :rotfl: )

coolcait - Latin comes in handy when getting through those swear filters doesn't it? but I was amazed to see the same phrase used twice on the same page! Spooky stuff

SNAP!:p:D:rotfl::T

Oh, I had to thank you for that, pollsdolls.

Even though I'm not sure that I deserved the compliment

Now, what products can I get in Boots which will alleviate getting a big head? :rotfl:

Just caught up on the last few pages and had to express my horror at Sandra Scarlett's nasty incident today.Its dreadful that some SAs can get us into this state.It seems that some of them have peeps on the verge of a nervous breakdown trying to use a perfectly legetimate coupon or cause upset and distress by what imo appears to be bullying tactics when reasonable questions are asked.

I think we are very fair on this thread as there are often comments on lovely SAs:A but at the moment there are a few too many with an attitude problem.:mad:

Sandra you acted with dignity and courtesy as ever.The supervisor was undoubtedly envious of your grasp of the system and the articulate way you expressed yourself.:T

Arrived, full of hope and expectation at Bluewater to find:

P & P serum full price (though it was still half price after midnight)

They wouldn't take my £5 voucher anyway, cos that was off skincare, even though were more than willing to take it last week
They had no Pinkies :eek:

The T & D had a SEL price of £6.86 instead of £5.86, and the SA got shirty when I asked her to scan it, and it was £5.86

SA got really shirtier with me when I bought my boring stuff, cos I produced the over £25 voucher, and then later, relayed this to a group of staff at the No 7 counter - just as I was coming up behind her

I listened to her, watching the other 3 members of staff, and a supervisor, and when she'd finished, I tapped her on the shoulder and said "Excuse me, but have you finished talking about me"

She scuttled off, and I asked if I could see the Manager, and the supervisor, who was the one who was rude to me last week, said "I'm the Manager".

I said I believe you told me last week you were a supervisor. She said that the manager wasn't in, and she was in charge, so I asked if she thought that was a professional way for a member of staff to act.

She said she hadn't heard all the conversation, but she had been there from when I arrived. So I said it would have been nice to have had an apology, and that I didn't come shopping to be upset, to which she said "well, you don't look very upset to me".

I asked what her criteria for "looking upset" was, and what expression I should have. And should I be shouting, or talking quietly, as I was. She replied "as I said Madam, you don't look upset to me".

So I said "I probably don't look like I've got Breast Cancer either, but I have." At this, all the other SAs looked at me in horror. But still this supervisor didn't say anything. The No 7 girl who was packing my stuff gripped my hand, as I now had tears pouring down my face, and she looked at the supervisor, and then at me, and said "I'm so sorry".

And still the supervisor said nothing, and then she looked at me, like she was smirking, so I asked if she wanted to see my Macmillan card, and the other SAs were frozen. Then she said "That's not necessary, my mother died of BC last year".

So I said "And what would your reaction have been if she had come home and relayed the identical story that I'm going to relay to my daughter about what happened today to me?" And still she said nothing, but sniffed a bit.

I thanked the No 7 SA for her professionalism, her courtesy, her helpfulness, and her compassion, and said I would be telling HO how impressed I was with her.

And then I said "Do you know, it costs nothing to say 'I'm sorry' and yet those words choke some people". I just couldn't get out the place quick enough, and sat outside crying for about 10 minutes.

I certainly shan't tell my DD who would go up there, guns blazing, and though I shall compliment the No 7 SA, via an email to CS, I just can't cope with going through the whole thing with CS.

So, miserably, we went to Lakeside on the way home. What a difference. The SA on the No 7 saw me looking at the P & P, and said they'd only heard that morning that it was going back to full price, and had I seen the new £5 vouchers. I said that I hadn't and she said "here you are then" and gave me a Pinkie, which I think looks so gorgeous, and shiney, and such a lovely sort of lilacish colour.

Then I bought some boring things and got another, Dee wombled one left on the floor and I wombled a Wrinklie and Hairy from the baskets, so that made up for the miserable morning.

I still have a No 7 P & P £5, which suddenly can't be used on Body, even if I wanted it at full price! But joy of joys, my twin Shinies are nestling in my brag book, which I shall put under my pillow tonight!

Oh SS, I am so sorry to hear that, the SA's had no right to get you so upset, you really ought to tell CS about it, they shouldn't treat anyone like that.
Lots of hugs to you, I didn't know about your breast cancer either, my heart goes out to you. You are amazing how you cope with things yet still come on here and cheer us all up.
