This is because it is still on the spreadsheet, just struck through (which is just a formating of font, like red or green text) - hence the Mr T program cannot 'see' these expired items as being expired.

Me for one do not really understand why they stay on the spreadsheet for so long after expiration, it does make Mr T's brill app a bit less than perfect through no fault of bez's.:(

I'm sure he will fix it eventually (as he seems to like a challenge!)

we leave them on to save people reporting them every time they come back on their receipt.

And, to be fair, the spreadsheet has been formatted that way for weeks - long before Bez's app came along. I don't think it's fair to complain about the spreadsheet on the basis that an app which someone has built to feed off it, which we have nothing to do with and which we weren't asked about before hand, doesn't quite work perfectly because of the way we designed our spreadsheet.

Just being paranoid here but does anyone know when security change their shifts? It's been the same guy all week and If they change shifts at a reasonable hour I may choose a different time to shop, or I could go to a different store but then that is unfamiliar territory and more petrol? hmmm

Why are you worried about security - you are not shoplifting just going about your business shopping?

Of course I am not shoplifting!! :eek:

What I mean is I don't want to be pulled up for using more than my monthly allowance of vouchers, or do security not get funny about daily shops or coming in more than once a day?

Thank you - i will post result!

No 'over the limit' email received - instead a lovely £19 voucher! Result. That'll be another litre of Gordon's;) (which incidentally doesn't seem to be on the ss anymore - still £13 in Asda and still £19.49 in my local Tesco - any ideas why???)

From a shop yesterday
confirmed today
1 x CADBURYS TIME OUT 9 PACK £ 1.28 £ 1.00
1 x TESCO FC PINEAPPLE JUICE 1 LITRE £ 1.00 £ 0.87
1x WARBURTONS MEDIUM SLICED WHITE BREAD 800G £ 1.39 £ 1.35

What does FC mean? Is this just the less perishable juice that isn't from the fridge? Yellow carton?

LOL

How the heck does the security know what you are spending and what is it to do with him?? Just walk in the store and go about your business, obviously don't try to make eye contact with security or anything daft like that. I'd be more worried about being 'trouted' than spoken to by a security jobsworth.

Here is my today's tale!
I did 2 separate shops today and on my second, When I was leaving, an 'important looking manager' comes towards me and say hello. I think here comes trouble ( having used 2 £20 vouchers at that visit). He said: hope you have had a Nice time at our shop and that our checkout colleague has been efficient and corteous)! By then my legs were shaking and all I could muster was 'yes, very, thank you'. Bless him if he only knew.... ;-)

Sorry it wasn't meant to be a complaint, although I see it looked that way.

I didn't know why items stayed on the sheet, now I do.

I know the s/s came first and is the basis for Mr T, so we just have to work with it.

Perhaps a collaborative approach from Bez might make minor invisible changes to the s/s and this might make his app work better?
