Milliesmum

Feeling a bit upset by an experience in my local T's earlier today.

Went armed with all my MOCs as usual. As my son is going off back to uni very shortly I'd done my homework in advance to make the best use of my MOCs (I'd made a list of all the things I wanted to buy, then looked on the T website to get the prices, then worked out how much I could fit within my MOC budget without having to hand over too much hard cash !)

Got to my favourite SA's checkout & unloaded. No sooner do I reach the till than an older "gentleman" comes up to take over from my favourite.

I've been to this older guy's till before in the past with no problem; however, just lately (call me paranoid !) whenever I've seen him in the shop he's scowled at me and made me feel very uncomfortable.

Anyway, as my friendly SA left the till, he said to the grumpy gent "you'll need your hand scanner, she's got loads of vouchers!" Grumpy just grunted.

Throughout the whole transaction he said nothing and didn't manage eye contact. He tried scanning my Lidl voucher, then after the till beeped and he examined the voucher, he literally threw it across the till at me, saying "well that just isn't going to scan, you can hear the till beeping - and anyway it's for LIDL, so of COURSE we don't take it".

I remained calm, and pushed the MOC back to him, and pointed out that the voucher had been accepted earlier in the week as it was a week-long promotion. He shrugged and said, "well it's not going to scan so we can't accept it".

I bit my tongue, then asked him to call the Supervisor just to check, as I knew the voucher had to be put through as a special item (non scan I think). He shrugged and lit his light. When the supervisor arrived she confirmed what I'd just told him.

He didn't even look at me then, and certainly didn't attempt an apology. All he said was "I'll do that one at the end".

My shopping came to just a few pence (as I'd planned), and he managed to mutter the total through clenched teeth (his mouth looked like a dog's bottom by this time, and his face was a kind of puce colour).

I thanked him and went on my way, but felt very unsettled by the whole experience.

Anyway, later this afternoon, I went with my daughter while she bought herself a sandwich in T's. We managed to go to my favourite SA, and he told me that as soon as I'd left the store, the elderly gent had exploded in a complete hissy fit, saying that what I was doing was fraudulent and completely immoral, and that I had no right to do it.

The SA (who's completely on my side, and always asks customers if they've got any vouchers to use) couldn't understand what he'd got so worked up over - he agreed with me that a great many of the staff use vouchers, and that loads more customers are using them in these credit crunch times.

On another note, he told me that their Team 5 bulletin (some kind of internal newsletter I think) today had told them they could no longer sell giftcards in return for vouchers. Also they'd been told that no vouchers could be accepted if they started with 90 up to 99. Not sure what that means, as all the ones I used today have scanned fine.

Seems we have a male would-be trout in my local, and it's not a nice feeling to have a brush with him, I can tell you...

It won't put me off, as I can't afford not to use them, but I don't know why some of them have to be so horrid, when others are so proactively positive about it.

I emailed a couple of months ago as some people had been receiving booklets thru' the door. At the time was told none left but they obviously kept my details on file. Might be worth you emailing them too.

I emailed McCains months ago and never even got a reply, never mind any moc's

I had an email from airwick to my email address for £2 off cool linen & white lilac
printed it on my computer at my house. my mum also had the email to her email address and printed it on her computer at her house but both are exactly the same, same pin number & number under the barcode on the top right hand side.

Will airwick give the store their money back as they are both the same
