oh no ? give them a year or two .......

Only too aware of how soon this technology will be phasing in, i believe that marks and spencer are already using it instores within parts of their clothing range.

When it rolls out fully expect to see some major job cuts in all retail establishments....

on a side note....dude did you have more luck in hull store than a certain footy team did in the same town?

The blue labels have an RFID chip in them. This chip activates the chip that is in your clubcard as soon as you view the label. The chip in your clubcard then activates the individual tracking satellite that is allocated to you personally. From the very moment that you view the blue SEL your every move is tracked and logged by this satellite. The information gleaned is then sold to the highest bidder with a complete secrecy clause in the contract........

Your every transaction (in any shop) is then tracked, including the use of coupons, discount vouchers, credit cards, even cash. Every item that you purchase from any shop is logged by the spy satellite (it can see through walls, roofing etc) and stored in the massive clubcard database which is held in the millenium dome (the only building large enough to hold the storage facility).

The reason i know this is because my mates mums uncle's sister in law was told about it by an insider.



Spa2k... that was pure class.

Which is why I cant abide using those damn self scanners. Each one of those is doing someone out of a cashier job. And the savings Tesco makes when they dont employ someone - their not passed onto YOU when you do their job for them.

Its slightly off topic but so far there have bee no job cuts due to the self scan tills. Its really an extension of the self scan system that Sainsburys and Safeway (AKA morrisons) use, you simply use a checkout instead of a hand scanner. It is not just Tesco that have them either, M&S and Asda have them and that bloody womans voice is the same in each shop!!

The march of technology is relentless, it has come to most walks of life and retail is catching up quickly!

The manufacturing industry was revolutionised by it - not in a good way by all accounts and it wont be long before retailing is too.

Some ideas - as I`ve done both of these.

* Trade in at GAME. They give £25 trade for Splinter Cell, or have a special trade in of £30 against the new game Call of Duty 3. Lego Star Wars II was only worth £21 as a trade in. Still, I have loads of credit there now, and will be able to get all the latest 360 games I want over Xmas for free. (and 360 accesories, DS games, and DS accesories, you get the idea) GAME cash values are rubbish. BTW, dont forget GAME have now stopped there 10 day returns policy - so you will be stuck with a game once the seal is opened.

* Really cheeky one, this. Take one of each of the (sealed) games to your local friendly Sainsburys. I have politely asked Sainsburys if I could swap them for other titles, as my wife had bought them for me, got something I know I dont like, but now lost the receipt. Amazing how friendly and helpful Sainsburys staff are. (maybe cos they dont have R + Rs to fight all day long) Got two new titles that I wanted that way.

Either way - thanks again Mr Ts ! your incompetence and arrogance is a real treat. :T

good figures there

i took 2 copies of lego and a copy of splinter cell in and he offered £45 for all three.

I told the guy id rather throw them in the river than let him have 3 unopened games for £45 that he would sell as new :rotfl:

so could i trade my 15 titles against and actual xbox 360?

Ebay is the best bet, you should get around £30 ish for each game.

BaileyB

With Game you can trade with anything. But taking 15 copies of the same 2/3 games will look very dodgy and with them all sealed they might not take it. But you won't know till you ask. And yes you can trade for Xbox360

Or you could try Blockbuster

I'm sure its been mentioned but how do i go about attempting to obtain copies of cctv footage and also that of phone calls between myself and head office and also of the store and head office relating to an overcharge where i have been accused of manufacturing an SEL for Splinter Cell on the 360 and then putting it on the shelf of not one but 2 seperate stores...

Also do i inform head office that i have audio recordings made on my mobile of these accusations or keep that under my hat for now?
