    Is this across their whole business?
    Finance, petrol, insurance etc As they make more than 4% net from the food retail operation

    Don't know, lol.:D

    I'm sure I read somewhere yesterday that Mt T is the third largest retailer in the world so this promotion isn't going to bankrupt him especially as I still think it's only a minority of customers who are shopping selectively. Most of the population haven't got much of a clue and aren't that interested if my friends are anything to go by.

    You've missed people getting falsely called fraudsters/ thieves in public by Tesco staff.
    Yes, the first time i tried to use a voucher I was called a thief and told my voucher was a fake, in front of an ever growing queue.
    The second time I tried to use the voucher ( after being assured by customer services that it wasnt and i would have no more problems )
    I was still treated with suspicion, and kept waiting for 15 minutes while 2 sales assistants decided wether to accept my voucher.
    Eventually they did let me, but after being humiliated twice in the same store, i will never step foot in that shop ever again!
    :mad:

    i agree
    i mean despite all the publicity on friday how many people do you actually think get it and understood what they were going on about?

    spoke to a couple of my brothers(both lawers!!) about it today who both had seen the news and neither had clocked on to what the whole thing actually means until i sat them down and explained.

    and no one else has yet to come on, and say their store had had this same email and the DTD was being suspended....... one would have thought, if this was so, amongst the users on this thread, others would have also commentated...
