Hubby got trouted last night! I love that phrase:D It's the 1st time and it actually made both of us a bit nervous and paranoid. He'd gone on his own and he'd got a young female SA - and she'd just started scanning his mocs when the supervisor came over and told her to go for her toilet break. She then started looking through the mocs and said that she wouldn't be able to take all of them cos they had changed the policy as somebody had been abusing it cos they had paid a couple of pence for £20 of shopping. So she took £4ish off £18 shop when the system aparently bleeped to say no more. Hubby came home to tell me this - thinking they must mean him cos we've done a few shops paying small amounts of cash - checked my figures and we haven't done a shop for anywhere near £20 paying pence, nearest we've done is about £12 when we've paid only a few pence - so think it must be someone else, but it did make me quite nervous about using the mocs.

So was unsure what to do whether to go in and try and use mocs as normal, go and use less mocs, or go and speak to CS and see whats what. Anyway I decided to ring the store - explained to them how I was using coupons and that I never split shopping or go more than once a day or split with my family members etc - upshot got confirmation that store policy is as national policy and it hasn't changed - got names to quote if there is a problem.

Phew - so why do I still feel so nervous about going in tonight??

The very worst trouts always pretend that the policy has just changed - and sometimes they insist it's a national change too. It's all lies so don't accept it.

If ever I get trouted I insist on a Duty Manager as I know what they are saying is not correct.
I won't be lied to and told the policy has changed when it hasn't, been there done that too many times in the past. I will hold up the queue if need be - if so it's the trout's fault not mine (they never try it with me again).

It's great fun to call their bluff and I encourage everyone here to do the same at the till and 'out the trout' (exposing their lies by embarrassing them with a Duty Manager who agrees with the customer!). :rotfl:

I haven't been successfully trouted for over a year - but I have outed a few. And there's nothing wrong with paying pence for a £20 shop in a store that allows the national policy. Tell your hubby to be proud of his moneysaving and not to believe the lies of said old trout next time she sails into view.

I still fail to see why we get "trouted". Let's face it, they aint gonna get a promotion to the "self-serve" for being studious regarding our MOC's. In fact, most supervisors are fed up with the red light going on repeatedly because the OT's still have a problem with the national policy.

Trouted is a colloquial term (on this thread) for a sour faced old moo who jealously refuses your MOC's

Sher congrats that is fab. :T:T:T What day are you going? Me and mum are going on Saturday. :j:j:j:j

We were there in Nov last year too and there weren't as many mocs as the Nov before. :eek::eek::eek:

Don't forget your small suitcase on wheels for all the freebies and mocs (we learnt the hard way the first year lol) :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Me and my sister are going on Wednesday :j So when you say small suitcase are you kidding or do they actually give out loads of freebies and what sort of things do they give, we are dead excited......
