    Just grabbed 27 roses from by the Aston Vile ground and a member of staff came over and said you can't have them coz they are 1p,I said but they have scanned at 1p,she then called over 2 managers and they said they are waste,but they let me keep em :)

    Good for you
  • am seriously !!!!!! off with tesco. i found some of the 1p tin pencil cases. i got 3, then got caught up in the beer glitch. 2 hours later i went back and tried to get some more pencil cases, these were for charit shoe boxes at xmas. and was told they aint on the system. i said i brought some 2 hours earlier, i was basically called a liar, i then produced my reciept. and was told "dont matter you still aint having them" they aint on the system so have to GO IN THE BIN!:eek::eek:

    how can tesco seriously chuck something in the bin, that aint outta date, and a customer is willing to pay cold hard cash for? i am ringing cs later . see what they say. i asl dont understand how something can come "off the system" in 2 hours. this was just after the beer glitch.


    I would go back, request to see the manager and ask them, privately, if they would sell them to you (or give them if he's generous!) for your charity. Explain the situation and say you were very disappointed to be spoken to like that by the staff. If he says yes then great and if not then write a complaint to head office about the staff treatment of basically calling you a liar. I would ask manager first though and complain to him, as he might have the power to give you the pencil cases before they get "thrown away" *cough* sold to staff *cough*. HTH

    am waiting for the managaer to get out of "a meeting" which was meant to end at 10am, but as its 10.15 i think thats another untruth.

    but the chappie on the phone was agreeable that chucking them was awful. i dont mind paying for them (1p!)but too just chuck them is disgusting.
    life is like a loo roll. the nearer the end you get, the faster it goes.

    Thanks to everyone on here - I found my first 1p item yesterday!!!
    A single box of bashed choc brazils stuffed beside the rest of the chocs lol! I grabbed them and tried a couple of the harpics and took them to the price checker - but alas it was only the brazils that were 1p!

    I am venturing out to Tesco Ayr today - anyone found any bargains in there - or anyone know how I can find out if there is a price checker in store?

    :)

    Tesco are hiding the Roses :mad:

    Went in late last night and I saw a full box of the mini roses in the cage thingy, I tried to get them out but couldn't as they where about half way down and stuck, so I thought oh well, I'll go back in the morning and grab them.

    Went back this morning and nothing, not even a gap on the shelf where they should be. Checked everywhere, up, down.:eek:

    Still no corn, no more peanuts, no more harpic.

    I feel cheated today :p
    :j First mini munchkin due 05/04/2013 :j
