Do you know who youre talking to, chompy chops ?

Not a clue, why?

Who is chompy chops, me or Sir Brainy?

I was a bit taken aback by the bluntness of the comment, yes. I think stargazer may have been too, but that's just my opinion. Not sure they needed to be challenged as to why they shopped online.
As for the rest of my comment..it was somewhat tongue in cheek..hence the

It should do. Just make sure you book delivery before 7th June.

Just had a proper nightmare at T's. Went to use a couple of small vouchers from Turners just under £12 to buy some plants. The SA said as it was just over the £10 mark it came up on the screen to check with team leader. She came and took the receipt away, came back with another supervisor who said the Tesco receipt was not acceptable as 'our receipts do not have scissor marks on them so this is not acceptable'. I said I was 100% sure it was fine ans she went off to find the duty manager. The duty manager came along and said the same 'our receipts do not have scissor marks on them' implying that I had done something dodgy with the receipt. I said did they think I had printed Tesco receipts? She said I could call head office customer service if I wanted to. I said that indeed I did. I left the goods and went to the CS desk, all they gave me was a number to call. My OH, who hates vouchers and coupons with a passion was mortified by all this, wanted to get back for the race at 1pm so we went home to call CS. Called them but closed, and tomorrow for bank holiday. I looked at some of my friends old receipts and some of those had these scissor marks on them.

Decided to return to store to get CS to reprint my receipt to show that they were indeed exactly the same, and to show the scissor marks on the other receipts with different dates and till numbers on. I asked the guy on CS to please reprint my receipts for me and explained that I was made to feel like a criminal and and was very upset and embarressed. He was very nice and went 'out the back' to see if he could do so. He returned saying that he is very sorry and wanted to help me but the duty manager says he cannot do it, and that he is not to go back on what she said. The other team leader came across and asked me what they had said on the phone. I told her they were closed. I told her I was extremeley upset at what had happened, that I felt like they were saying I was a criminal, even worse a stupid criminal. She tried to wriggle out of it by saying she only said she had never seen these scissor marks on a receipt before, but I corrected her with the exact words she had said ' our receipts do not have scissor marks' and that she had showed me the blank till roll to prove this!!!!!!!!!!!! The cs lady also looked across and said exactly the same and even more problems there was some other writing on the receipt that showed it was not real. On close inspection this is the same details as at the bottom of the receipt only in reverse.
So now I have to wait until Tuesday with my blood boiling until I can complain to anyone. Question is has anyone else noticed these scissor marks? Or this back ward righting? Or am I going mad? What do they mean? What do I do now? Thanks for reading and sorry for the rambling I was so upset I didnt get my parsnips or yorkies for lunch.

Rosy,
Tesco shop receipts are printed on heat sensitive paper. I know because we used to use similar paper to this in the drawing office, albeit A1 size width! If they want to test an original receipt against what they think is a photocopy all they have to do is put your fingernail on the front and scratch across it really quickly. This will make a black line as the friction heats it up. A photocopy or scanned inkjet copy will not do this! Not many have access to heat sensitive till roll paper so this may help in your quest!

Turner Road was in the chiller cabinet in the Tescos near me.

Well done to your local Tesco for not trying to hide the Turner Road wines from the deal!

I hadn't planned getting the meal deal but when I saw the chicken & asparagus I thought I'd give it a try. It took me ages to find the wine as it wasn't signposted (iykwim) in the booze section. I just kept scanning the shelves for the merlot and even when I found it, there was no indication it was included. I have to admit I was hoping it wouldn't come off the meal deal so I'd get DTD but alas it did work. Fingers crossed for the voucher tomorrow now :j

Should be. If it's not okay it should pop up & tell you. Also, I've just remembered...with the wine, put no subs, or perhaps put Turner Road merlot only instead of the chardonnay & vice-versa.
