please can i have some advice??
the only thing ive told them so far is i havent brought a phone, its true i didnt!!

thanks

Hi,i do feel sorry for your situation but what a silly thing to do.If you work for a company you have to protect your job and future refrences.Looks to me like someone has spotted your husband and put 2 and 2 together and reported you.I think you will have to see what happens on friday[ but remember they might have camera footage ]and learn for the future.Sorry if i sound so blunt .

Hi all.
Just to let you know...... I HIT THE PARACHUTE ON MY VERY LAST ATTEMPT TODAY :T:T:T:T:T

Hope this chocolate is worth the effort!!!!

Had a fab night's voucher shopping in T's followed by a good whoopsie session.
Found two really lovely male SA's in T's and Sainsbobs.
The one in T's put through nearly 40 coupons in total and was not in the least bit bothered. The lady behind me in the queue asked where I'd got them and as I left the shop I could hear her saying to her son.."Mission Control...put it in your phone!"

In Sainsbobs there was a lovely man doing the reductions and there were only a couple of us there (and the other chap was a veggie. :T)
He actually thanked me for buying his 80% steak markdowns....and said it was lovely to see a new face and hoped I'd come again!! ( I don't usually go there...but think I might start from now on!!)

Off to catch up now but before I go....just one other thing.

THANK YOU SO MUCH WEST IS BEST.......:T:T:T

Somebody loves meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :o:o:o :rotfl::rotfl: Thank you xxxxx

Off to T's in a mo.... I sure hope there will be a red wine glitch today!!!! :beer::beer:

Im planning on 2 near max JTD and 1 about £10 JTD.. for just a few pence spend....

I shall report when I get back.... if someone wants to listen to me.... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I'm all all streeeeeeeeeeeeeetched - was that you HC

Couple of peeps have said they are looking for cheap baby stuff. There is a Boots glitch on a small number of baby/childrens items where the items are half price and also on 3 for 2. In Boots terms, that means you get 3 for 1 and at the half-price amount, because they discount the third item at the 100% price. No idea if they are bargains say relative to buying in T, but may be worth a look

thank you i dont usually shop in boots but am having a good look at the site and will be ordering a few bits and bobs.

I do remember you as a contributor on various threads of T's in the past.

Peoples perception of saving money is different to others.

In the case of JTD you can view it as:

a) Not being able to shop at A's, so by shopping in T's using JTD, you can receive the same savings as shoppers in A's could get, even though you don't shop there. This then gives T's shoppers a reduction on the price of the item they bought, saving them money.

b) You could shop at the shop that gives you the best value in the place. However, not all can get to the chain with the best offer on that product.

Thanks for the reply.... I just wanted it confirmed in my head that other than you not having an Asda close to you and the fact you get club points there really is no other benefit of a JTD voucher.... just didn't want to miss a trick that was all.

yes i agree someone probly did recongized him, but how can they prove that i told him to go get them phones???

should i say im my meeting, please provided proof of me asking my partner to go get those phones??

what else should i say or ask?

i really need your help, im not a very confident person as it is..

I am not sure as this is not a situation which i have advised on or encountered with.

however, if I were to change the facts slightly. Lets assume that you work for a trading firm and you know that the price of share X was going to go up. Your friends/family then subsequently went and bought those shares and made a profit on them. In that scenario, you would be subjected to serious investigation of using "priviledge knowledge" to dishonestly benefit from it. However note that in this instance:
1. the information have to be privy to you
2. the information have to be non-public (SEL on shelf is very public)

there are other things that they would/may take into consideration in deciding what to do. examples are:
1. whether you are the person who is supposed to take off OOD SEL and you have intentionally left one on for you partner to get DTD
2. whether your partner is a serial abuser of the system (sorry if this ousnd harsh) and/or they can draw a link from his purchase history to information privy to you or tesco employees

sorry cant be of further help- i'd suggest you go to that meeting rather than skipping it.

Morning all. Did you enjoy your pancakes last night? I made a really easy Delia recipe as I never bought Betty Crocker last year and they were delicious.

I've just had my JTD/pricecheck voucher emailed through at 7am?! How strange, never had that time before. It didn't arrive yesterday afternoon.
It was for my £10 meal deal, the Fiano wine T=£6.99 A=£3.5 and the finest dauphinoise 450g T=£3.75 A=£1.75. the others are not comparable.

I submitted a few more receipts last night so wonder when they will come in.
