Self and son went to a big Extra today, and as it was bust thought we'd do 2 each, so all 4 of my vouchers.

I had 3 x £20 or thereabouts and a £7.50 as we'd bought a new summer quilt so reduced a voucher quite a lot.

Anyway, got some sun cream, some L'Oreal wipes, Simple day cream and lots of other new stuff (all in stock) they even had that !!!!!! toothbrush (which I left as didn't need it as a booster right now).

Chose a young girl on checkout as she looked clearly a student, and bored to death.:)

Anyhow, 4 shops one after another on same belt, she didn't bat an eyelid, perfectly pleasant, and put them through without signing or even checking voucher details, a done deal. Fab, good ole' Stockport.:money:


How about this for a question - I won't be reprinting the vouchers (as I have enough per day and couldn't cope with 4 more!) but what if I left my old receipt in my trolley, and somebody wombled it, tapped it in using their e-mail address and the compare popped up there and then for them (as it would do), they would have my voucher already used but would have no idea that was the case (except the lack of waiting for the results); what is the situation there I wonder?

I will destroy my receipts obviously, but the thought crossed my mind. They were cash receipts with no clubcard too so no tracking.

Bit of an anomoly methinks.

Stockport staff are great arent they ~ visited for the first time today too !!!!

You've been playing with your nuts too long - Monkey. All of these receipts, with clubcard, is tracking.

I know this.
But the tracking would always be afterwards.
So even if they could say "oh dear, Monkeynut has done 4 shops everyday, and used £x00 vouchers.. Naughty naughty Monkeynut..."

But then I go to the next Tesco, do another shop not using my CLubcard, so they have no idea that I am in fact Monkeynut, get the voucher, spend the voucher, enter receipt for the next voucher, print next voucher, use next voucher... and on and on.

Get points after, when if they ever did track it, they can say "Even naughty Monkeynut, they've done even more over the limit shopping. But it's done now, so hey ho, what can we do."

What can they do?
My friends and family that I've told about DTD that don't have CCs so give me their receipts so the points don't go to waste - that's not against any policy is it!! ?

Must say they first story I read on here about them being tracked by CCTV etc, was from a poster who I've seen causing trouble and trying to stir things up on another thread, so think they may have been trying to scare people.

Now Monkey, I understand were you are coming from. I don't think the worry is about getting tracked - more the fact getting chucked off the clubcard scheme - of which I have nearly 3k of vouchers, and wouldn't like this 'perk' to go. And that is without weekly shopping at Tesco's;)

Okay, DTD tale of woe #2:

For the first time ever, tried putting two shops through consecutively using two £20 vouchers. In my store, a supervisor is called over every time one of the vouchers is used. They check the numbers against the receipt, sign it, then hand both to the cashier to keep - I'm fine with that. So, a supervisor is called as I'd been nice enough to let the SA know I'd be using two vouchers (and explaining the scheme to her). He arrives and this is the conversation I have with him:

HIM: Oooh, dead on £20 for both, eh?

ME: Yeah, amazing coincidence...

(long pause while he signs both receipts off)

HIM: You look like someone who's about to become very famous, very, very soon...

(cue bit of poo coming out)

ME: Oh, really?

(even longer pause as he tells the SA what to do with the vouchers)

HIM: Yeah, you're about to get hounded by people all over the place (full turd exits). There's a guy on American Idol, great voice - you're a dead ringer for him. An absolute dead ringer, don't you think, SA?

SA: I don't watch it.

I'd just managed to pick myself up off the floor to pack my second lot of shopping when my nemesis supervisor turned up - I'd previously had jokey run-ins with her before where she's told me that she shops for bargains, has no loyalty to Tesco, etc, which then turned into 'I'm going to ban you' when I kept turning up day after day with similar items and voucher in hand - and screamed, 'Not you again! I'm gonna ban you! I am!'

Cue many customers looking at me with many frowns upon their faces. I managed to get her talking about toothache very quickly, thankfully - last thing I need is people thinking she wasn't joking.

And I've checked all of the current American Idol contestants and I don't look like any of them.
