Whenever someone tells a story.. its biased towards their end.

If you had built up a stash similar to henlans.. a simple way to 'build up' enough 20 quid vouchers to achieve such g.oods (guestimate of up to 16 visits to tescos a day.. needing 32 active vouchers to allow for problems when coupons didnt come) would be to reuse vouchers given back unsigned etc.

The cover of 'i didnt have the receipts' for not one but multiple vouchers suggests perhaps a 'misuse' of vouchers.. i.e reusing them over and over. Because ... as pointed out above to get 32 legit vouchers you'd have to invest some (32*20) 640 quid to get them... whereas if people were giving you the recipts back you could've invested much less but got up to higher levels.

What they did was complete bull either way.. but i suspect a case of 'give voucher without receipt' and then reprint voucher to reuse again syndrone.. which is tantamount to just printing 20 quid notes out.. very wrong.

Either way you both made good out of promo so lets leave it at that etc. Me i go into tesco maybe every other day or was doing.... i dont go in enough to be above radar etc... but you seemed to be.

It is in the power of the manager to simply ban you from store so no idea why they tried to detain then.

I'm not going to force you to believe me. It's up to you.

Tried to detain me? They were sat on top of me! lol!

Helanas + brother - Symnz,

Please do not listen to the bitter, jealous, *** on here who are telling you in some way or another that you deserved it. I don't care what you did, or how you got your stash (many folke have bigger stashes, trust me). The security were simply wrong to do what they did and you have ample grounds for a prosecution. They may come back with tapes of you hammering the promo but don't worry, that's simple T&C law, not criminal law.

Take them for everything you can and get yourself to the doctor. I'm sure they hurt you when restraining you. Make sure you get your lawyer ASAP and do not let this sit. I've seen this all too often (I worked in a supermarket whilst at Uni) and I can tell you that the SGs will be dismissed straight away if you make contact with their bosses. Get on it, and get the officer's name that tried to justify your assault with you getting a good run in Tesco!

Honestly, some people. Every signle person who bought an item knowing it was cheaper at ASDA for the purpose of generating a voucher (i.e. everyone on this thread), broke a T&C. How many, or how often is irrelevant.

Please keep us updated.

Perhaps I wasnt clear. What tgey did was wrong even uf u had been abusing system.. And id sue em

yummy.scrummy.mummy

to be honest when i saw henlans "stash" i was pretty shocked, what i was more shocked about was how openly he/she was bragging. posting it in the signature etc... as something to be proud of. if you had nothing to do with your time than to parade around 5 tescos a day to abuse this then i wouldn't be proud. i think theres a huge difference to those that did it on the odd day and people like henlans who had major stashes of everything. its just greedy and it shocked me quite a bit to see how this had become their LIFE. and now to see that you will be taking legal action on tescos, cause more trouble please! you probably deserved it, and the way you tell your story im sure that theres more to it, you are trying to act innocent when you and your brother know that youve taken the right p*** with this promotion and now you want someone sacked for doing it. yes physical assault isnt the answer, but youve probably made it sound a lot worse than it was. quit while youre ahead and stop parading on internet forums seeking back up for something which you simply got caught out on - its time to move on from your hating tescos parade to try and gain for yourself some more. youve gained ENOUGH

Attacking someone is never justified. End of.

What I did is completely legal as I had receipts to back up the vouchers.

As I said before, I am very lucky that I was not hurt on the broken wine bottle. They did not observe this danger what so ever. The isle was closed off, and two of them and they couldn't control themselves. I was completely calm the whole time, they had no self control at all.

Whats the weather like in cloud cuckoo land ?
You pushed it to far, and got rumbled, and think you now may even have an opportunity to sue your benefactor.
Martial arts, huge frame, all muscle, taken down by a couple of puny security men, yeah dead likely.
Get real, or better still start writing fiction for money, but dont expect any but the feeble minded to beleive the tripe your spouting.
