What you mean the stores actually redeem them?? I can only think H/O will pass credit for the stores accepting them but in the end they will simply be a loss on bottom line profits.

That's what I tried to explain to the bod at Asda. Can't see how they can possibly redeem them, as they clearly state that they are for use by the person named on the front and accepted only by Tesco stores. However, he seemed quite adamant that Asda does try to redeem them. He wasn't very high up the Asda food chain, though... I thought it was just a marketing gimmick to entice customers away from Tesco. The loss to be offset against the extra sales generated.

Tesco talk - Bucket Numbers, Team 5, Rumble, Shrink, Mis-Match.........new managers always say they need a Tesco dictonary to understand some of the term's used:rolleyes:

That thing of kicking out the jargon did not last very long (Stock Record Error always seemed a very long winded thing to say ). Job 14/21...PV'ing...but my favorite had to be London Book Stock

A manager recently joined Tesco and was telling us of some Asda horror stories - Such as when items are 'reduced to clear' they don't put the reduction sticker over the barcode in the hope that the customer will not realise and get charged the full price and then if they do relaise will not bother to make the trip back to the store to complain:rolleyes:

Tesco have been known to do this also

I can see it now - An ASDA buyer stocking up on baked beans in a Tesco store:rotfl:

Tesco value beans, no less. take them back to a depot somewhere and stick Asda Smartprice labels on them.

Nothing would suprise me - With falling sales they need all the help they can get:rolleyes:...And they would probably try to flog them as standard ASDA beans rather than Smartprice ones

constantine how are the areas marked out (for area managers)?
is it county wise or number of stores or locality or distance from store
