    Dear TE
    Its so nice to see someone take their working life and responsibilities so seriously. All this extra time and effort to help the little people(such as myself) from being deprived of our hard earned wages by a multi billion pound corporation. So strange isnt it, that such an outstandingly profitable company, who undoubtedly hire the most expensively trained accountants to "re adjust" and creatively manipulate their profit and loss for tax purposes ,cant seem to ever ,ever add up my bill correctly!!!!!! Still I m sure you will be justly rewarded. Maybe they ll slip you the odd backhander of 100 points or turn a blind eye when you nick the odd sausage roll for your tea break. Id like to think that you ll get your reward in heaven but !!!!!!!!!!!

    I do believe my original post does not mention e-mails or anything being 'stored on a computer';)

    I did mention this the other day, but TE evaded the issue. Well, he didn't evade..he completely ignored it. ;)

    Ironic thing is that by tescoemployee posting on here making r+ring more 'underground' is going to make things worse for tesco. As although alot of people browse here the vast majority dont really go out on R+R trips and just take advantage on the off chance of a free DVD/pork chops when they go shopping. Now say where as constantine/spa would of previously picked up when someone reported that there was an Xbox or some other high value misprice Tesco's would be able to act more quickly on it. Although they get posted 'underground' the major R+R players will be able to hit several stores if they wish before Tesco's will even realise whats going off. Then by the time they do realise whats happening it would of probably been made public anyway. So although TescoEmployee thinks he's helping Tescos in the long run he is actually hindering them by stopping them finding out about any major inaccuracies early on before there 'exploited'.

    Just my 2 cents anyway....

    Just a thought, the sales figures that TE is so proud of include all the xbox's everyone bought in multiples from September onwards don't they (and all the other goods bought in their dozens by R&Rers).

    OK, so Tesco have had to refund on many of our purchases, but the original sales would presumably still count towards 'sales growth'?

    So TE has us to thank for part of the increase in sales, lmao! :rotfl:

    You've also said that you make R&Ring as hard as possible for those who you consider to be abusing the policy, going as far as making them wait for ages for their refunds, etc.

    As I said earlier, I have no problem with you using this site to correct your prices. It annoys me that you feel the need to boast and antagonise people, though. Spa2K (PID) has also stated that it's how you post, not who you work for that annoys people.

    But again with respect MUNT(I shouldnt have to keep saying this(with respect)...you should know by now).......wasnt this the argument the other night.....re goading and baiting.

    Unfortunately, theres always a bit of each in TE's posts.
    Couponing....."every little hurts"

    Half of the people can be part right all of the time, Some of the people can be all right part of the time.
    But all the people can't be all right all the time. .........I think Abraham Lincoln said that.
