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.

Brilliant just brilliant :T:rotfl::T:rotfl::T:rotfl:

I am so confused I dont do online shopping.

Basically, just because you see the rack of lamb on your online store, doesn't mean the store you go to stocks it. Its highly likely that your online shop would come from a different store to the one closest to you.

aaarrrggghhh

Do you think it's too soon to email Tesco and ask where the product price check is, as I believe it's been more than a week since they said it would return?

I'll tell you something. There was some manure smells coming out of Tesco HQ when they said that. :rotfl:

You are so right!! I have a number of Tesco's locally.. Whenever I've had an online shop it has come from about 10 miles away. Rather odd.

I've no idea why though. My local one is an Extra, & my shop comes from a smaller store!
