Im getting slightly peeeee'd off with an old dragon (deb) at my local Tesco's in Shrewsbury, whenever i go with coupons she says comments like... 'we are stopping coupons soon' 'do you realise you are holding the people up behind you' 'where did you get these from' 'have you used these before' 'we cant accept these' shes very rude and stroppy and if i was a woman id be tempted to slap the trout.... all the other assistants are fine, its just her, do i write a complaint or just take it on the chin and smile?

Hi all,
Have had a busy couponing week, so as I am pretty new to it, I thought I’d let you guys know how I’ve got on. I started off with the intention of getting the Sun coupons every day and one thing led to another. There have been highs and lows but all in all it was worth it. I couldn’t have done it without the persistent encouragement from this forum. :beer:
I’ve spent ages doing my sums and here are my vital statistics:

Total spend: £112.81
includes £33.08 on printer ink and paper
£24.38 on papers/magazines I don't usually get
£9.80 on magazines I didn’t want

Coupons used: £71.24 :T

Coupons acquired: £122.48
includes 15 x £5 Sun coupons :j

Clubcard points: 106
Free novels: 2

Average number of shops visited per day: 3.6
Average spend per trip: £5.13 (range £1.32 - £30.12)

Proportion of spend paid for in coupons: 63.15%
Best spend: £3.05 in coupons for £3.10 spend (98.39%)
Worst spend: 30p in coupons for £2.40 spend (12.5%)

I don’t expect to keep this up – I’m quite exhausted after trudging around so many shops this week. Not planning any shopping on Sunday apart from a brief trip to get the NOTW. I shall spend the day recovering and working my way through the tons of reading matter I’ve accumulated. :rotfl:

Hope you all have a good Bank Holiday weekend. :beer:

ha ha, well done,you deff need a break, we can manage about 3 days then have to catch up and chill b4 we start again,keep up the good work,:beer::beer::beer:

we named and shamed an old trout,got lovely letter back from head office saying they would inform the store and refresh them on the policy, 3 weeks later we got "a life time ban" to this day we havent been told why, so not always a good idea, just avoid [deb] her if you can,:eek::eek::eek:

'we are stopping coupons soon' well when you do stop accepting them I'll pay in cool hard cash like you do!
'do you realise you are holding the people up behind you' I know, I was kept waiting by somone paying by card, the machine took ages!
'where did you get these from' internet, magazines, newspapers, all the normal places really!
'have you used these before' if an internet coupon no as I am limited by the manufacturer but the others, quite possible as you can use as many as you can get. Only 1 of each per transaction though.
'we cant accept these' Oh really, well try this one instead.
shes very rude and stroppy and if i was a woman id be tempted to slap the trout.... all the other assistants are fine, its just her, do i write a complaint or just take it on the chin and smile?

Once she has a bit of tongue lashing back I am sure she'll know that you can give as good as she can. She knows the policy but insists on harrassing you so perhaps a slight query as to whether she speaks to all customers in the same manner might alert her to the fact she is out of order, she already knows this, but addressing her might make her think the manager could be your next port of call.
Not saying actually do anything but call her bluff & play it by ear.

If she still persists avoid her until she !!!!es off another couponer who isn't quite as restrained as you & slays her with their sword....she deserves it....this is a cyber death not for real. No dragons should actually be hurt...well their feeling can be damaged but no blood please :rotfl:

Worst comment I've ever had was as I was leaving the till she said "I can't stand people like that" :eek: I assume she meant couponers, and not me personally:eek::eek:

Can't believe how dim I can be - haven't printed any coupons for nearly a week so thought perfect opportunity while the forums down to get all the latest pinted off, of course I didn't have any access to the links did I? duh!:o

I save the first page to my desktop when there is a shut down, that way I can still access the links. Also you can get the links from pts.
