Some folks are lucky and have various stores close by, I only have one within 7 miles, Im sure the same security guy sees me every day, so for the past two days I have boght my shopping paying cash each time.

I think it's just luck of the draw, My OH has been to the same T's every day for the last 10 days (I have told him not to but on his head be it:rotfl:) and never once been questioned. It's a very large T's that he goes to so probably doesnt draw much attention, but I'm fully expecting him to come back one day with his tail between his legs!!

Special purchase means nothing - doesn't everyone realise that?

Are you using the same car on every visit? Mr T has ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) in use through its fuel stations.

maybe they can employ this technology in itys store carparks as well?

Wow. I wouldn't actually be surprised by this, shockingly!

You could use them at another store maybe? Or give them to your OH/or a relative to use for you

I do use another store. (2 main others, and 2 secondary, so have been in 5 in total.)

It was stated that as they believe I am abusing it (and to be fair I am), they are pulling the offer. I could be shopping on behalf of several households, or even own a property empire, but T&C seems to boil down to their opinion.

They do use this in our supermarket, however its run by a private company, who scans your car on entry and your allowed a maximum of 3 hours in the car park or you get a £60 fine. I assume that once it gets to 15 minutes before 3 hours someone gets alerted that they might be able to give you a ticket.

Not sure if tesco have access to this.

Last month I pushed my luck, and got away with using over £200 of vouchers in my local. Was eventually told I was over the monthly limit, and couldnt use any more till April.

Went in on Tuesday and they had looked on the cctv and matched it up. Said that because i had abused the system they would accept no more vouchers from me, ever.

They even watched me walk through the carpark afterwards (I bumped into a work colleague who i decided to give a voucher, but they pulled her aside as soon as she stepped through the door, and swiftly confiscated the voucher+ receipt.)

Glad I'm not an identical twin then!

Bless - its hard enough raising money for charity without this added mess too - i hope you find another store!
