I'm struggling to see why this thread is here, there isn't a grabbit, tesco haven't stopped genuine shoppers using TD vouchers and it is, if anything encouraging people to abuse the system. I suggest it is removed by a mod.

Yeah I think it should too, its going over old ground. Yes it is annoying but my motto is "what goes around comes around". I'm sure Karma will catch up with them in the end (might have already by reading the other thread).

Seems to have been the South Coast - believe it was Chichester and surrounding areas (you didn't hear that from me either!).

OMG that's my neck of the woods :eek: I did already know about the person you are already referring to, and had already read the police story some weeks back (or it seems that long ago anyway) but I had no idea they may be near me. That may be why I've been having more trouble that usual lately.

Well we can all see why Tesco stopped DTD. Greedy people will always ruin it for all.

I know I'm reasonably new here, and I obviously haven't read everything, however, there are plenty of
People who read these forums without ever posting or even registering and whilst it is frustrating when someone openly admits to you about committing this act, there's probably ten times more people who do it and are just clever enough not to spout off about it.

The only thing I hope I that the few fools out there who try to promote it do so not at the expense of this site.
When mse gets bad press because of it then I shall care. Until then, it happens. Some people have no morals and this will always be the case.

No matter where some people come from or how far up or down the food chain they are there will always be those who do all they can to get more for themselves than they are either morally or legally entitled to. Some of the worst offenders are the very rich and those in high office - just look at some of the worlds leaders. So I suppose we shouldn't be surprised when some people see what these greedy powerful people do they then decide to join in by whatever means they have available to them. Just very sad that the honest genuine people seem to be those that suffer most from the greed of others.

What's a moral?

I do not agree with commiting fraud, but I think what must not be lost sight of is that Mr T is happy to suggest that his prices are the “best” when clearly they are not. When he is then caught out he loses his bottle.

What I find amazing is that everyone seems happy for Mr T to commit what to all intents and purposes is fraudulent misrepresentation but gets a bit irked when it is a customer shafting him. And let's also not forget their very clever marketing that's designed to deceive their customers (bigger pack better value, smaller packs working out cheaper tha bigger ones, packaging designed to mimic premium brands, etc etc) Mr T doesn't care about his custoners only their £££.

Lets not forget that the grocery industry in the UK is the biggets rip off in Europe and probably the world. Their margins far outstrip what similar retail make elsewhere (by 2 or 3 times). Why do you think Mr T and his competitors in the UK post massive profits compared to their equivalents abroad?

Let's get some perspective on this. £400 is a joke to Mr T. He made his bed now let him deal with the consequences!

i think the reason people dont want it highlighted on this board is because a lot of people have already worked this out and are reprinting the vouchers if the sa doesent take the receipt .
