    B*gger - think I've made a boo - bought 9 bottles of Turner Road and they applied a 5% discount to 6 of them as that's a deal across all wines. On the Ts and Cs it says these don't count - will I have to take all my wine back and buy it in lots of 5?

    I had a DTD with 6 bottles I bought and loads of other people have but not sure if they have tightened the rules?

    Well, while I'm here, as may as well tell the tale of this afternoon's shop. Let's just say 'no problems' wasn't quite true...

    I did a DTD shop and proceeded to the checkout, £76 voucher in hand. I looked for the same cashier as last time, but she was on the basket till and wouldn't have been as happy as I anticipated with a trolley full of junk food, whisky and DVDs.

    Instead, I went for the unknown quantity of a middle-aged woman I'd been served by before DTD came along.

    She didn't know what to do with my voucher.

    Cue supervisor in headset running to her aid and my sphincter tightening at the thought of the grilling I was about to receive. My fingers began rubbing on the bit of the receipt that revealed my last £100 shop was paid for with a £92 voucher, but to no avail.

    I was moved to a different till, away from all other customers and I swear a bit of poo came out as beads of sweat began to form on my forehead.

    The supervisor asked the following questions:

    1. How did you get such a high amount?
    2. Have you done this before?
    3. Did you do it on purpose? (By which I think she meant, 'did I purposefully seek out goods priced higher in Tesco's than ASDA's')
    4. You did it on purpose, didn't you?

    Followed by:

    5. Go on, admit it.

    I answered with the following:

    Gamjupsssssssssssssssjjjjjjjjphhhhhhhhhh, before I pulled myself together and lied through my teeth, claiming it was both my mum and dad's birthday that week so I was stocking up on alcohol and just by chance it had been cheaper in ASDA.

    As she looked at me with more than a hint of suspicion in her eyes, my legs suddenly felt strong enough to carry me, very fast, out of the store never to be seen again.

    This, fortunately, was before she uttered the immortal words:

    'I've been doing this myself at ASDA - teeheehee'.

    My relief was audible and could be heard smashing several bottles of Pinot Grigio on the conveyor belts fifty feet away from me.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Lol, especially at the poo bit! Your mum and dad's birthday party will be a good one - anyone for another cornetto washed down with a glass of Jamesons??? :D

    The difference will be worked out on the full price before the 5% discount.

    I was asked if I found the fridge pack of baked beans better value. I just said we eat a lot of beans.:rotfl:

    Sorry to post this again but I was hoping one of you kind people could help?.......


    Help Please :o

    I got my 2nd voucher today :T the only problem is I'm working long hours for the next few days (won't be drinking much baileys ;)) and won't be able to go into a store.
    I am thinking of doing an online shop and take advantage of some BOGOF deals etc.. Has anyone had a DTD voucher successfully refunded when they have given it to the driver? I would be recycling one which was mostly paid for with another voucher so I'm a bit worried the driver will take the voucher and they will check it against the reciept and say I can't use it :( Don't know what to do really??

    :beer: CC

    i know someone who had her shopping refunded no problem but her voucher was only £20, however my very first shop this month was a normal shop and i couldn't and still can't get my receit to go into the price checker, i know there'll be nothing on it, i did email cs but just got a generic email back and have heard nothing since
    DEC GC £463.67/£450
    EF- £110/COLOR]/£1000

    Just got back from using my first DTD voucher for £55.80.

    The SA was a young lad who just smiled when he saw it. Called the supervisor who came over and told me my only problem was that my shopping only came to £53.75 and it had to be over the voucher amount.... :rotfl:.... You should have seen the face of the guy behind me in the queue while I sent OH to grab something quickly..lol.

    Other than that no problems, perfectly polite and they signed the old receipt but not the new one.

    I used this for a normal shop (lots of BOGOF's), my next shop will be a DTD and then I will use the voucher for a normal shop which seems fair to me.

    This was at the new Musselburgh Extra. :)
    perfectly polite and they signed the old receipt but not the new one i had this for voucher but on my normal shopping the over charged me for my dinner lol CS didnt look happy but i'd paid in cash for that trolly lol
