    keep them, i can see any way teso would know that they had not been issued correctly, dont they just give you them, i dont think they scan them or anything like that.
    think of it as a bonus for your school and a little less profit for tesco

    I used to work for Tesco for 3 years (I left in september 2004 to go to uni) and you guys are right, thee stroes don't have any accurate ways on measuring how many have/should have been given out.

    For example, at the end of the transaction it comes up on the till asking if the customer wants the vouchers. And then the ammount of people that say no, then realise that they do want them or knows someone that does then change their mind. So if that happened to me I just gave them out anyway. Plus schools need a stupid ammount to get anything good

    dont worry i work for tesco's lets put it this way they know how many came in but dont monitor how many actaully go out properly at all, they have loads and when they run out they order more
  • Forgot to mention in my last post - If anyone wants to donate spare vouchers - very small school less than 50 families (classed as rural deprived area) al help gratefully recd

    Will send stamped address envelope for any vouchers and I think the idea of donation to charity for any recd is a great idea - but MSE will have to PM me as I don't know how to do it

    PS any sainsbury sports vouchers or the vouchers of the cereal boxes for free school books also wanted

    thanking you all in advance
    I want to...........?
