    Actually I had a few receipts I needed the points adding for. I didn't realise the Roses receipt was in among them. When she unfolded them and I saw it I thought "oh !!!!!!".

    Oh right
    Sorry I'll not be as quick to jump to conclusions x

    Oh, and when I went to Danestone today to look for the mouse I took my receipt that detailed 45 boxes of Roses from there to collect the 2 clubcard points for using my own bags. The trout on CS had a 5 minute rant at me about it. I told her there was an article in the newspaper at the end of last year and that one of the top guys from Tesco said it isn't a glitch and that they are genuine buys but she wasn't wearing it. I'm tempted to print it off and give it to her the next time I see her.

    You should have seen her face though when I told her I had got over 100 boxes of Roses from 3 stores over 4 days. I thought she was going to explode!

    emm happy chappy, i think you need to weigh up what's more important to you... the 2 points or the 45 boxes of 1p chocs. all you have done is gained an enemy and perhaps made it more difficult for any other people to get any 1p items in this store, as you have now highlighted the fact to the jobsworth staff :(

    As I said, I didn't realise until it was too late.

    fair enough but you said you had a number of receipts that had points to add on, perhaps you should be better organised before encountering the trouts, especially as you further wound her up by telling her how many 1p items you had got:eek:

    I am one of the most disorganised persons I know. I blame it on the Autism. And going by her 5 minute rant she knew fine will there are/were 1p items in the store so by her seeing the receipt I wasn't informing her of something she didn't already know. She said they are not allowed to sell them and even got the security card and two other CS to back her up. She wasn't wearing any of it when I told her about the newspaper article. I can't seem to find it now so I can print it off.

    Oh and the staff in the Ellon store were only too happy to sell them to me. I asked if they had any of the 1p small boxes of roses and she asked how many I wanted and when I said 'how many have you got?' she came back with 3 boxes from the store room.

    happy chappy i understand things are harder for you due to autism... i understand you didn't mean to rile her but you did probably more by boasting about how many you had managed to buy, it would have been better to walk away and go to the store without trouts.
