    I've been using this site for quite a while, but this is my first ever post as today was the first time I tried the DTD when I spotted the Barbie School at my local Tesco. Stickered at £12.50 I nervously checked the price at the self service tills, which came up at £25. (There seemed to be a lot of staff round the self service area. It's a shame there isn't another way of checking the price before buying.) Thought I was going to get rumbled when a helpful assistant tried to show me how to bag the item and looked at me as if I was mad when I said I'd remembered I'd got more shopping to do, I had a half-full trolley at this point. Anyway went back to get another and continued with my shopping. No problem at the till but I had a full trolley including other toys. I haven't gone to the CS yet for my refund as there was quite a queue but will try tomorrow. I do feel a bit guilty but I spend a fortune in there. (That shop alone was £220)
    Thank you so much to the OP.

    hmm... I would never leave it until tomorrow... I always do it there and then... Otherwise it gives them more excuses for no dtd(you've put the stickers on yourself, didn't you?!you have a sticker and sel factory at home!:eek:)

    Not meaning to scare you off your first dtd and I hope you get it tomorrow no probs... I just like to walk out of the store knowing my money is on the way back to me already :cool:

    And gosh, 220GBP!!! :eek: I didn't spend so much in T altogether since March! :rotfl:

    I did exactly what you do, sticker side down, bar code towards the cashier, but she still spotted them going through at the wrong price, so amended the price on the till. I returned them today for a refund, but am tempted to go back and try again if they are still on the shelf!;)

    wrong SA then! :p

  • Pr*scot, Merseyside had the cars but no sticker. No school sets but had the polly pocket boats in the season isle with sticker and scanning full price. Didnt get any cuz ive already got one for an xmas present for friends little girl. No sewing machines either which I really wanted. In the main isle they had a yellow tub thing with disney cars/toy story and disney princess/fairies wrapping paper for 10p. There are also packs of happy birthday napkins for 12p in the seasonal isle along with some cheap birthday banners 10p and gift bags. Hth xoxo
    Thank you for your post and post the other day, I got two of the polly pocket boat today from this store ;)

    Hurray, I went straight back to the shop after Czerniach's advice, and got DTD back ! The young lad on the desk did go off to check when I asked about DTD but was all smiles when he came back and apologised for the mistake as he credited my card £50. Thank you
