    Well i've had my say and expressed my opinion, maybe from a supermarkets perspective.
    I may apoligise for maybe being a slight bit rude in my first post, calling people pathetic, but it did make my blood boil that people were exploiting the loophole ( heading straight down to there local Tesco just to earn a quick £30 ).
    I enjoy lurking and reading posts on this forum so I will stay on this forum despite a poster above suggesting this place may not be for me :beer:

    Just as well you weren't around when we were all dashing down to pick up free xbox360, playstations and psp's your arteries would have collapsed.

    Not in the 3 large stores I visited yesterday, although one had completely emptied a long stretch of shelving which had suncream type labels on... not sure whether they were removing or adding the suncream at that time :(

    Oh Craig2108 if you're such an angel, I would like to know how Tesco feel about their STAFF selling on clubcard vouchers. I think they might be more interested to find out one of their staff is profiteering from their generosity (Tesco give staff 10% discount on shopping and give extra clubcard points per pound).


    yes we get 10% discount. but we dont get any extra clubcard points. i dont know where you got that info from but it is wrong sorry.

    As it says above I did not sell the clubcard vouchers thank you very much.
    For the record also, staff do not get extra clubcard points per pound.
    So nobody has anything to say about the scamming of the supermarket which my opinion is based on?


    You still offered them for sale.

    Just out of interest, what is your role at Tesco? Can't imagine it being a highly paid position based on your apparent lack of intelligence!

    At the end of the day if Tesco are that bothered by DTD then they should either a) Get their prices correct in the first place or b) remove the DTD promise full stop.

    We are not scamming Tesco we are simply taking advantage of the mistakes made by the imbeciles working there!

    I didn't know people were so worse off in life that they had to go and scam a supermarket. Pathetic people.
    Well, maybe you should know. There are people in the UK living in absolute poverty, not relative poverty, but absolute poverty (look it up) for the first time since the 2nd world war. Do you know why some of these people are living below the breadline? I'll tell you why, because corporations such as your employer are more or less running the economy, have their tongues so far up politician's backsides, control the price of a pint of milk and a loaf of bread and run small businesses out of town leaving ordinary, hardworking people bankrupt, jobless and homeless. This is happening right now, in the UK, where we all live and where the last time I checked, was not listed as a 3rd world country.
    You can moralise to ordinary people getting a wee bonus when you are not working for one of the most corrupt, greedy, capitalist corporations in the world, pal. The only 'pathetic' people in this country are the CEOs and shareholders whose greed is ruining the lives of others. Oh, and twits like you who are getting shafted left, right and centre for a cr*p wage while your bosses get richer by the day.

    Jog on and educate yourself.
    Come ride with me, through the veins of history...

  • I pity poor MrT. He's so reliable, honest and decent. The staff he employs are always so friendly and trustworthy. He never gets anything wrong and he never makes any money! He's truely selfless and would be broken hearted to think that any customer had ever been overcharged in error.

    ^^^ I lied :)
    I love getting revenge through taking advantage of their pricing glitches. Don't even think for a second that they'd care less every time a customer gets overcharged and doesn't realise. They make lots more money from that than we do from taking advantage of their pricing blunders.
