Now, I know it is Saturday and I was in the busy, main branch. I also know that reductions are there to be sold etc etc but I saw the nasty side of Bootsing today.

A determined [strike]lady[/strike] woman was systematically stripping the shelves of the few reductions. She took EVERY SINGLE reduced toothbrush, and then searched the stand for more. Her basket appeared to have lots of toothpaste too. Far more than one familywill use in a year, but none left for anybody else Ugly, ugly.So, not much of a shopping trip!

Some people are just extremely greedy - we've seen this in the sale and I think jessie_yi experienced a similar thing last week. Hopefully not an MS'er/Bootser, these people aren't even ashamed if you tell them how greedy they are being. Let's hope it made her very happy to buy all of the shelf, sad woman that she is!!!

Hi babes. I think I am taking it back. Tried it again this morning and all the dark markings are still showing! Boohiss. I was thinking I would look super glam with it on and not look like a dartboard! Oh well. Not sure I want to take it back though as the Clinique woman was not nice.

Hi mimi

Why don't you go back and ask the Clinique SA to demonstrate how it should be applied as it may be that you aren't blending it in right which is why it looks strange. Let her do it and then you can see if the shade is correct then.

Just lift the 'Cant be used on reduced items restrictions'

[snipped ... obviously ]

Tbh Polls, I'd rather see those signs than see people being refused, and not always in a nice way. But the reduced items should be reduced again imo

That way, people can buy sensibly priced reductions and still have their vouchers - a bit like having one's cake and eating it But I've only come around to that way of thinking within the last few days Looking at the No7 accessories for instance, is a good one - because some items just aren't worth the money imo - voucher or no voucher.

Then, I felt awful posting up that I'd managed to get not one, but two reduced foundations (£3.xx) one day. Becaue the policy changed yet again the day after, and I wondered how many people had gone shopping that day to try and get the same bargain, and been refused. It makes us posters hesitant in posting about reductions, iyswim?

But I agree with SS. Some peeps probably have started looking elsewhere, and realised that bigger reductions can be found elsewhere. We get sucked in too much by points offers and vouchers.

This might look like a strange observation on my part, because I do tend to find bargains* but some days that can mean travelling to as many as 10 little village stores, which costs a fortune in petrol (and parking sometimes) when I could probably get just as much, if not more, by popping into Superdr*g, or even the £1 shop

*I found a neat little shaver yesterday - down to £3.50 from just under £30, but I didn't even go out for a shaver LOL.

Take care peeps, I'm off before I get chucked off, lol.

For those of you who got the stay perfect compact and have found it to be a bit thick , my local SA suggested using a damp sponge to apply x

I could be wrong daisy, but I'm sure another poster used a voucher on that set. hth

I'm no good at wombling either, but I spotted one the last time around in the large store in York. But I felt like I'd spotted a fiver and didn't want to be seen picking it up (don't ask me why - it's totally irrational LOL) so I said to OH out of the corner of my mouth :
"Bluey coming up".
He says: "Where?"
Me: "There, LOOK, there!". So out of the corner of his mouth (LOL) He says: "But where???"
Me (still talking out of the side of my mouth): "On the floor you numpty"
Him: But whereabouts?"
Me: "Three o'clock" ...!!

I was nearly on the floor laughing at it all. What a palaver :rotfl: :rotfl: But then, to make it worse, this old dear must have been watching it, and came up and placed one in my hand saying "Here you go luvvie" :rotfl:

I had to walk out LOL I daren't think what we must have looked like on CCTV :rotfl:

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: This would have made a good sketch for comic relief. Wish I had been there to see it. (too funny to snip)

hi

For anyone in Edinburgh (leith Kirkgate branch) they have Colgate toothbrushes reduced to 69p. Nothing much else worth buying though - a bit disappointing ;-(

Thanks Polls, it was a 'had to be there moment' that I had to try and describe in a couple of paragraphs, but the dialogue went on for much longer (I didn't actually call him a 'numpty' either - he'd have left me stranded if I had :rotfl: )
