What is R & R ?

Those were the old days. Refund and replace If you were overcharged they refunded the cost and you got to keep the product fo free.

Afternoon all.
I read somewhere on here about the go cook knife sets going for £25 but had 342 stickers on the front but not kicking in! Well, I decided to give it a go @ Hengrove. Went to self scan just in case it didn't work so I could make an excuse and leave! Didn't kick in and paid £75 cash. Trotted off to CS, showed her the reciept and stickers. She went straight on the tannoy and put a call out for a member of P I :eek:
Thought she called a private investigator:eek: I was now shaking! But before anyone turned up She handed me £50 and apologised for the error and to have a nice day!!! Result!:D

Me,me (Sticks hand up quickly) I know the answer miss, because I was talking to the P.I. manager yesterday. Price Integrity

Dear Mrs. Murray,

While we thank you for your valued custom and use of the Tesco Loyalty Card, the Manager of our store in Banbury is considering banning you and your family from shopping with us, unless your husband stops his antics.

Below is a list of offences over the past few months all verified by our surveillance cameras:

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's trolleys when they weren't looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to feminine products aisle.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in housewares..... and watched what happened.

5.. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

6. September 15: Set up a tent in the outdoor clothing department and told shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring sausages and a Calor gas stove.

7. September 23: When the Deputy Manager asked if she could help him, he began to cry and asked, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

8. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, picked his nose, and ate it.

9. November 10: While appearing to be choosing kitchen knives in the Housewares aisle asked an assistant if he knew where the anti-depressants were.

10. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.

11. December 6: In the kitchenware aisle, practised the 'Madonna look' using different size funnels.

12. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed, yelled 'PICK ME!' 'PICK ME!'

13. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, assumed the foetal position and screamed 'NO! NO! It's those voices again.'

And; last, but not least:

14. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited a while; then yelled, very loudly, 'There is no toilet paper in here.'

Yours sincerely,


Charles Brown
Store Manager

It's not just people who make themselves obvious in this way that get banned. Please just take care, however righteous you feel about whether you've done nothing wrong and it's all the fault of Mr T;), I can do no more than that in advising to take care based on my own personal experience and being on earlier incarnations of this thread in it's heyday.

Artha you are intriguing me, are you going to tell us more?

just come back from £astbourne extra. but whilst in there we saw a lady eyeing up the casserole dishes, and she was definatly looking for the "right one". we went nearer and i looked up and saw a new box of them. i asked her if she was "a freind of martins" to which she replied "yes". :wave::wave:
i thought she safe ( not staff) and i got the box of the top shelf, much to my sons disaproval . they were the right code and we had one each. i put 2 on the shelf, i didnt know what to do with the empty box, so put it back on the top shelf .

and good karma came back to me. the lady (whose name i cant remember ,sorry) said there is a woman giving away free dove conditioner down the health aisle.thank you.
i doubt you will read this though as you have a 2 hour drive home to ashf0rd. and this thread moves quickly.

I got some Dove conditioner yesterday in our local store from a very serious lady in a short white coat like a dentist would wear. Looked at my hair & said it was very dry & out of condition, thanks very much I thought :mad:, especially as it was actually greasy as I'd rushed out quickly and not had time to wash it.
