Made worse by driving 25 miles away to do the deed.

Doesn't your "friend" live 25 miles away and you went to her house for coffee that day. It just so happens that you passed a T en route....

Very sound advice given yesterdays post by someone saying Ts have been told to check here.

I agree!! You also posted about a childs toy when you noticed the SEL was out of date... So you knew when you brought the item you would recieve DTD... If this was the store you work in it probably set alarm bells ringing that maybe you shouldnt have done this...
I presume tesco employ someone to check this thread along with others, and although they can't do much (although they sometimes do) about non tesco staff using glitches dtds etc to get money back they are probably less likeley to be happy about their own staff knowingly ripping them off - especially when you used your staff discount card and admitted openly on a public forum that you knew you were going to get a DTD after checking the OOD SEL.
I think if I worked for tescos, unfortunatley my job would have to come before getting dtds etc... at the end of the day DTD/JTD/Wombling isnt going to pay your bills...Your salary is..
Don't mean to sound harsh but just remember tesco have a lot of info about you in particular with your staff discount card/clubcard so the last thing you want to be doing is posting on here.
Really hope you don't loose your job over this but I probably wouldnt risk my job for a DTD...it just isnt worth it. Hugs and hope you only recieve a warning.

Yes but this relies on the premise that people actually give a flying banana about getting store bans. I don't.....the only thing that surprises me is that I've not had one yet! :rotfl:

Its like a badge of honour...like an ASBO...."I have a Tesco store ban".... **said with nose flung in the air**

That would depend really on how many branches you had locally.

I'm pretty sure you mentioned visiting >10 branches in a day so a ban wouldn't hurt you - you'd still have plenty of branches to visit.

To anyone with only one or two nearby it could be a real pain.

thanks for the replys

me and my partner havent been in the shop together for over a week, i was not seen looking at the phones with him.
im assuming some body recongized my partner and most of told him to go and get them. but i cant see how they can prove that i told him about the phones.
i do not change the sel as thats not my job.

but thanks for pointing that out, i will use that..

I don't know Tesco system well enough, but when you return an item they scan the receipt. This will be logged into a system somewhere, so that refunds etc can be tracked and charged back to the store the sale was made (this is standard in large companies so that the refund comes of the income for the store where the sale was made, but the stock also gets moved to the store where the refund was done.). It is perfectly possible that either you where seen doing the refund by another staff member who recognised you, or (more likely) that the store you did the refund at rang your store to inform them, expecially as it was a DTD with details written all over the receipt. Your store then asked for CCTV of the person doing the refund, so they could identify them for the future and saw it was you? I know that in store detectives will work in more than one store to avoid getting "known" by regular shoplifters so possible one of them saw you?

I don't think this will be anything to do with your boyfriend buying the phones, but more your returning them. If he had returned them, then I don't think they would have a case.

Unfortunately, there have been tales on here of tesco staff being sacked for taking advantages of glitches in the past, the Choc Orange one sorings to mind, so I would be careful how you proceed. Are you a member of a Union at all? They would be worht a call.

Sorry...

This time, your shop would have been £ 17.98 cheaper at ASDA so we'll give you a voucher for the difference back!**:beer:




One of my L'oreal deo men didn't compare. But I'm still happy with £18 plus £5 of £40 spend and a few MOC's for products :T

To the person who is in trouble - I wouldn't tell any more lies e.g. having a friend who lives 25 miles from you etc because you will dig a deeper hle. I would get rid of all your posts on here regarding it and ask others to do the same.

To the person who asked about the Options - it worked for me on different ones to the white chocolate ones. I can't check whicxh because I am rushing to go out.

I agree.

But how do tesco explain this...

THE Tesco executive who made a fortune selling shares before a massive profit warning has been moved from his role at the supermarket.

Bob Robbins made £200,000 days before Tesco warned on profits - and wiped £5billion from its share price.
A memo today revealed that Tesco has switched the exec out of his position as deputy chief exec of its empire.
He will now work in an undefined role for the overall boss Phillip Clarke - on a "number of initiatives".


Why wasn't he sacked?

simple explanation: human capital

After learning what a goldie is... I am guessing the 'lady posting in trouble' will probably loose her job.
Even more likely if mr t's get the evidence off here...(not helped that are screen name includes what I am guessing is her real name:eek:)
Ovibously getting dtd (that you know about by date of SEL)/goldie normally is dishonest...but doing it as a t's employee is...well quite brave and stupid, especially if you have rent/mortage to pay and mouths to feed!!! Sorry to sound harsh but you sort of dug yourself into this!!
