Hmmmm....surely not a high value television perchance?

I just couldn't resist quoting that again. 24 carat gold!

I'll be up at 6.00 tomorrow for "Operation Shock and Awe" in pursuit of the telly. I'll be trying to break my own record of 10 stores by lunchtime, depending on traffic levels.

Even if I don't bag the star prize I'll aim to get a bootload of meat and booze as consolation prizes.

Remember guys and gals... banknotes only and NO Clubcard.

Thanks, the group therapy is really helping.

Why do CS sometimes ask you for your name and address ?

Is it to discourage 'insider fraud' ?

I worked for a large retailer once and the girls on checkout were not allowed to serve family or friends. This was before barcode scanning and itemised bills (product descriptions), just a manually entered price for each item.

Do Tesco follow up a certain number of refund transactions with the customers to double check what happened ?

Shrinkage was a major problem, lost an awful lot of spirits over a few months, the 'Backdoor Manager' was in on a fraud where he was signing in stock that never made it into the warehouse. They were using a fork lift to dump a pallet over the adjoining wall to the business next door, straight into a skip, that was then removed ASAP.

The only 'problem' with the TV is you have to fill in a form for the TV Licence scammers. :mad: Tesco will then have your Name and Address, so be prepared to use your 'correct' one.:rotfl:

Its in inverted comma's...don't think he meant correct in that way :rolleyes:

I'm sure someone will go off later and look up the legal implications of giving a false address to the TV license people

You could tell them it is for your parents, how would that work with TV licensing?
