    Well, I've had a lovely afternoon in Tesco, NOT....!

    I went in today to spend my second voucher. This one was for £18.88 and was from a receipt from last Monday.

    My shopping last Monday was partially paid for with a £10.18 voucher.

    The store absolutely completely REFUSED to take my voucher, because it was generated from a receipt that had had a DTD on it.

    I telephoned customer service, they telephoned the store to say they had to take the voucher.

    The store STILL refused to take it, and a duty manager came to see me. She said it was store specific and that they had put a blanket ban on all vouchers if the receipt they had been generated from had been paid for at all with a DTD voucher.

    I phoned customer services again, they yet again agreed she was wrong. He spoke to her for about quarter of an hour. She argued with him and still absolutely refused to take it. She said they'd decided and that was that. I am totally lost as to what to do!

    I have of course emailed tesco, but am not holding my breath for a reply after reading of others' experiences on here.

    Not happy. :(

    I really can't see why the Store Manager has to be so stuck up about it. From what I know they are refunded by the 'national' pot anyway, so in fact it would look better on the store. Sounds like a Trout in a Managers Suit. Did she look like this?

    BEEF
    So here is the deal for those of you wanting to get the beef.

    Stealing this from Colmc post.

    1- The correct beef joint begins with barcode no 02365

    2- It needs to cost approx £9-12 due to the £/kg

    3- Silverside doesn't work

    4- It is called British beef Topside/Top rump joint @ £8.48/kg

    Please make a note of the above and you cannot go wrong!!

    I am saying no more about beef! :wall:

    I had an interesting experience in my store today. Got told by the sa that every time she gets a DTD voucher she has to call the supervisor or she gets a right row. Supervisor arrives and says you are buying things with a voucher that you used to buy DTD things. Did I? says me trying to look dumb and not stir it. I need to get the manager she says. Well a queue appeared behind me and she voids the till and takes me over to the side. Manager and her whispering for a full 8 minutes ( I timed them ) and then said don't do it again. It is for proper shopping and not just people like me who buy stuff mentioned on that website ( What website ;)I didn't say a word) Just paid for my shopping and left.
    This is the only Tesco near me as I would be an hour each way on the bus to the next one so please Tesco train your staff to be nicer to old ladies like me who are just trying to eek out a pension.

    Print out a copy of the T&C from the price check website and take them with you. If this happens again ask them to show you exactly where in the T&C it says that you can't use it if you have paid with a voucher previously.

    I say Tesco found it EASY to make promises it still cannot keep.
