I agree with that fully.

Picking up on your earlier comments though, Tesco's DTD policy is not a hidden perk, its printed in black and white behind the CS desk and staff would be entitled to it too, provided of course they didn't gain the DTD by using info they were privvy to as an employee.

2 things niggle me with the OP's case though...........mainly why her OH used a false name as he was (i assume) in the store she worked in and surely must have known that he'd be known.

Secondly, do they have evidence of her taking it back. Was the receipt a goldie and did the store she returned it to keep the receipt?

If they don't have any evidence of her being actually aware of his actions in any way then really its a matter for Tesco to take up with him imo and not her, after all this isn't a criminal matter, they simply don't like being stuffed by their own policies. They can't hold her responsible for someone else doing that provided she can't be shown to know about it.

whats a goldie?:o

i showed my son my till reciept yesterday it had 21 £1 coupons and six 75p coupons on it. he reply was "i am glad i wasnt with you":o

He will learn!

My daughter now 24 and still lives at home at the moment loves using coupons now, she has come to realise now she is out in the real world and earning (one of the lucky ones) that every coupon we use is money saved for something else:T

Stop moaning, you never thank my posts but I'm not complaining.....I can handle the rejection! :D

Awwww I didn't realise you were keeping track FK. If it means so much to you would you like me to go back and thank all your posts?

Not quite sure how you've made this about you but whatever makes you feel all warm and fuzzy :D

i believe its a reciept that you have been given DTD (double the diference) on but the customer service person didnt write on it in any way so the product could then be returned for the price you originally paid.

never done it myself but thats what i think it means from things i have read. im sure someone will give you the correct meaning if im wrong.

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.


Ta,

Sorry if I'm repeating something that someone else has already said (I haven't read back) but IMO the beauty of JTD is when there's a specific promotion on ... like:

• £5 off £40 spend cos basically with a good JTD you're spending £40 - JTD to get the £5 off next shop
• a £10 meal deal where in fact you're getting 3 courses plus a bottle of wine for £10 - JTD (which could be as much as £4-£5)

agree to disagree...

frankly, i dont think we have enough info to work with....

you are quite correct to point out that employees should be treated as customers and entitled to DTD -i do not remember reading about exclusion regarding employees or immediate family members re DTD.

However, it depends on the intent and history (these are among the things which would be considered or brought up in a tribunal/court tesco decides to pursue it)-

INTENT:
-providing fake name and postcode
-returning the phone to a shop 25 miles away

HISTORY:
- i think the OP has posted about previous DTDs..it depends on how many was done and whether these items were all returned.

unfair dismissal - not sure if you have good grounds for this correlation can be proven... i am happy to be corrected is someone know better.

I've had a look at the OP's previous posts and I don't like the fact they have done DTD's before and used their privelege card. They will use this against them for sure.

Intent....the OP didn't give a false name so no intent by her at all. She wasn't even there.

If it were me, I'd be tempted to go along the lines of.....I'd had a couple of DTD's before (meat and baby item)...OH saw phones and did those without my knowledge not realising it could get me into trouble. I went mad at him for it as he'd given false name and addy so paicked and took the item back for refund. Offer to repay the money or offer it to charity.

Annoys the hell out of me as so many Tesco managers are bent and abuse their positions. I could recount literally dozens of examples on here of things I've aactually witnessed with my own eyes. As usual though, those in senior well paid positions get away with it and the lowly ones suffer.

Hope the OP just gets a written warning.

To the OP with the "special meeting on Friday" (I'm not even going to quote you or your name)

I'd suggest deleting your posts. You don't know who might be reading!! You can't do anything at the moment anyway Good luck

I think it'll fall on deaf ears unfortunately That's one deal I haven't done in a long long time (can't afford to justify a meal that would cost even £6 including wine!).

When JTD works, it works well but I'm afraid I've now lost the will to live!

And still no thanks in the follow up!

Is that maths correct or would you like to complain that you have to now spend that 42p JTD in Ts?

Well done Caz, my sentiments exactly. Londinium totally missed the point.

posted the above without reading your subsequent posts. now that ive read them:

1 - you went into the shop with your OH and looked at the phone
2 - your OH went in to get the phones and provided a fake name and postcode for the DTD
3 - you returned the phones to a store 25 miles away


depending on what sort of evidence they are basing the investigation on,..the odds dont look very good, IMHO

I think this and Lloydy84's story provide a salutary warning to those tearing the backside out of DTD, despite what some may think T's are not stupid!:cool:
