    Wow its quiet in here when doc goes to bed early:rotfl:

    So today i think I was trouted and anti trouted all at the same time.
    Made the cardinal sin of going to Mr M with coupons on a sat afternoon:eek:Loveley girl put em all through quickly but seemed to be having an issue or 2 with the manual input ones.anyway checkout and take my trolly off to the side to pack it all properly and have a look at my reciept.I realise that she has put most of the manual input ones through at the same as the tassimo one £3.99( i recon i was undercharged by about £5).So i debated what best to do decided i should go see the help desk and explain that i think i have had more deducted than i should.Cue a 15 min conversation where i try to explain what the problem is and the supervisor looks at me like im crazy or something as i try to say i dont want the girl to get in trouble or them to stop taking coupons because of an honest mistake.God i think i felt worse than i do when i get a good trouting,it was like i was trying to steal from them.:o

    Anyway after collecting the coupons out of the register and looking at all the totals the supervisor decreed that what the girl had done was fine and that i s!!!!!d just go away and if it all went wrong at the end of the day she knew what had happened.

    don't think i have ever felt so embarassed trying to do the right thing!Gotta love my local mozzies though so totally clueless when it comes to coupons!(but unlike Ts in a good way)

    Is a Naked Wine £40 off wine voucher if you spend more than £59.99 on any case of wine, with code and password, any good to anybody?

    Nobody we know drinks wine and we would never spend that much on wine for others.

    Hi gastronomix, so would you buy this in Asda and then get the £12.97 back from them?
