As it is now past the 9 0'clock watershed, might I be permitted to let you know about my first awkward DTD experience?

I am an older bloke, past the first mad flush of impetuous youth and I tend to be civil to all, but I do to get a bit upset with rude people. Enough of the background - on with the tale!

I called to a strange branch of Mr Cohen's today to use a DTD voucher. The voucher itself was a one that will be familiar to many who follow the DTD thread........three yogurts, a can of salmon and some non DTD things.

The young man on the checkout did not have any experience of these vouchers, and called for a supervisor. This lady was in a bad mood or perhaps had taken a dislike to me for some reason.

"How can you get £14 from a spend of £11", she inquired looking at the old receipt?

I gently and in a civil manner explained the promotion to her, and pointed out that quite simply on these goods Tesco were indeed more expensive than Asda - hence the DTD voucher.

"Ah", said she, "I see what you have done! You have only bought three yogurts rather than the four which are upon special offer"

"Madam", I replied, "I had not realized that it was necessary to buy four of the things when I require only three"

The lady then had the audacity to ask, "Why do you only buy three?" a second time.

I was upset but really prepared to go into my buying habits with a stranger, so I answered her thus:

"For my Jeremy's"

"What do you mean" quod she?

"I have troubles with my Plymouths, and I find the cooling aspect of the
yogurt to be of a beneficial nature. But I do not wish to discuss my medical condition any further with you."

She ignored me and turned to the young checkout man (who was obviously a Viz reader) and simply said "Scan it" and stormed off. The young man was barely able to control his delight as he finished the sales transaction.

Oh how I chuckled.

PMSL - just spat my beer over the keyboard!!

Hi all
I've just been to Mr T - most local, largish store - I've never had any bother there although I've never found anyone who really knows what they are doing with the vouchers. They didn't have some of the bits I wanted so didn't have a lot of shopping. Went to a youngish lad who said I need to get someone to check this. Another grumpy young man then came and asked for 'the other sheet'. Apparantly, there is a sheet of paper that details all the things the savings have been made on. I said I didn't have it, so he asked what the money had been saved on. As I looked down at a £30ish spend on groceries; milk, flour, cereal, courgettes, aubergine, salmon, comfort etc I could only admit to not knowing.
Anyway he said, I need to get a manager and she is in the cash room. She came down and signed the voucher - took the receipt (first time), and not really any problem other than she looked knackered and a bit fed up. I reckon its only the 5th time I've been in that store this month (I don't get out much!) so it can't be anything personal.

G'night all

ATTENTION ALL ANDROID USERS

Dont know if this has been mentioned before...

My OH has just figured out how to use the barcode finder to bring up asda's price. You need to download the barcode app, go onto custom search, type in http:// groceries.asda.com/asda-estore/search/searchcontainer.jsp?trailSize=1&searchString=%s (with no space after http:/) save that as your custom search, scan your item and press custom search and HEY PRESTO :j tried it on a few items and up it pops on the asda site on your phone

we used the app by ZXing team

http://groceries.asda.com/asda-estore/search/searchcontainer.jsp?trailSize=1&searchString=%s

Thanks for that! I see some having a few URL problems. If you have the barcode scanner app installed you can point it here :



After following the barcode link you can go to share via email, email and then click in the box with link - choose cut all. You can then go to the settings of the barcode app and paste (be sure it's empty).
