Hi

Not really sure if this should go on here or on the discount vouchers board so please feel free to pm for a move if its wrong.

Does anyone know if you can give moc to delivery drivers if you have your groceries delivered? I asked my Asda man and he said 'never heard of it being done'

Thanks in advance :beer:

    I assume you mean Money Off Coupons ?? just guessing.

    No, I wouldn't think so. The admin involved would be quite onerous. The driver will make a number of deliveries in one trip, if each delivery recipient gave him a fistful of labels/newspaper cuttings/bits printed off a computer, they would have to be carefully stored, seperately for each delivery, taken back to the store, where a staff member would have to pull up the order and scan/enter the coupons before the order charge could be raised. A nightmare to administer, and pretty open to abuse too I'd guess, not even considering those complaints "I gave the driver a 10p off voucher for my fairy liquid, you must have lost it."

    Nope, I would suggest the convenience of groceries delivered to your door is worth the small sacrifice of not redeeming coupons.
    I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say. :)

    That was my thinking but I have a friend who says she gives her Sainsburys man her vouchers and then gets a refund into her bank within 5 days ?
