Bloody Reward Cards! and other stuff while we're at it...

I think they ask for loyaly cards automatically, prob in the same sentance as 'hello' or 'how would you like to pay'

Rest assured, the second the person forgot to ask, then the person getting served would go mental and say they had a loyalty card and whinge about missing out on points!

Probabaly in case the RSPCA get involved. Especially if it's for a child, as children under 12 aren't supposed to buy pets themselves, so if they sold an animal that ended up being mistreated, the RSPCA might check to see whether the shop they'd bought it from had sold it to a child.

One of thems dead now

Oops! Well I guess you're ok as long as no-one reports you to the RSPCA! (I don't think they bother much about goldfish though!)

It's like the Spanish Inquisition every time you go shopping. "Would you like school vouchers?" "Would you like a carrier bag?" "Would you like cashback?" "Do you want a hotpicks number?" "Would you be interested in our new insurance policy?" "Would you like insurance with that?"

No, it's not just you, it drives me mad too :mad: That's why I stick to internet shopping as much as possible

... and I can shop at 3am :-)

Any time

Off to bed now ... gonna get up early, go round my local Tesco and ask all the checkout boys and girls if they would like to sign up for Tesco's clubcard :rotfl: I'll let you know how many new swear words I learn.

After a year staff get a discount card which also acts as a clubcard.

Hello, please would a few good people be able to comment here?

Every time I go to Sainsburys, Tescos, Staples, ANYWHERE.. They keep on asking me if I have a bloody reward card!!

I don't want one. I don't need one. And I don't have a spare purse to carry every one of these cards from every one of these places.

And... the final thing that get's me.... They all ask, "do you have one?" But.... they never ask, "Would you like one?"

Insurance!!!!! I bought a pair of £3.50 ear studs the other day in Argos and the woman asked if I wanted to take out bloody insurance for £1.50 incase they broke!!!!!!!! BROKE!!! Earings don't break, they fall out.

Help!! Shopping today is driving me round the bend. I just want to buy what I buy and be left alone.

I am starting to suspect that these companies are just trying to wind us all up. Let's not even go down the route of talking about something that's faulty. We then go from initial OTT smarmy customer service when you buy something, straight through to sheer bloody awkwardness when you take something back.

It's not just me is it?

they have to ask, i worked for sainsburys and we were told to ask the customer for their nectar card and if they didnt have one ask if they would like one, its to do with the mystery shopper

I used to work in sainsburys...bloody nightmare - if I asked, they got lairy. If I didn't ask, they got lairy. That and the fact you get a bollocking if you don't ask - Staff face disiplinary action if they do not talk to customers.

After about...oooh, 3 minutes of working there you could tell who wasn't in the mood for polite conversation (I know you don't care to tell me if you're having a nice day - to be perfectly honest, I don't care either but this is my crappy weekend job and my supervisor gets mardy if I don't) and so you make it as brief as possible before they strangle you.

I no longer work there, thank god. :T

its whats known as 21st century living ... why get annoyed about it, there are much more important things to worry about (such as does the grass need cut .. I trim it and it looks all neat and tidy, but then those little b****ds keep growing .. every day they wait until I am not looking and then they spring up all untidily spoiling my stripes .. they never do it whan I am looking, they are sneaky and must wait until I go out in the morning to work)

The post office is the worst place for that. I went to post a letter that needed a COP, not recorded del just something to show the date I posted it. I got the the full Spanish inquisition about was I sure I didn't need a signature at the other end, who did I get my home phone from, was I planning any big purchases or would I find a credit card handy the run up to Christmas (this was last week!!!) and then finally when was my home insurance due. This was all for a 31p stamp and a receipt.

All I wanted to do was send the b!oody letter
