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.

No, they don't scan the receipt.

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.

That's of even more importance here in NI. From my postcode, there are only 37 stores in a 50mile radius including one in Scotland! Of these, 11 are express or metro so that's only half the country I have to look for decent DTDs.

Out of interest sake, I tried the ex-in-laws postcode. In an 18 mile radius they have 71 stores to choose from of which 20 are superstore or bigger.

NI really is a small country :eek:

Sorry but in some cases they do e.g. when they're removing cc points.

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?

Possibly because he did not have official access to the financial information that was subsequently released to the market and caused the fall in share price? Does look suspicious though which is why some parts of the press picked up on it.

As part of the required training in my job I had to take courses on Insider Trading, use/abuse of privileged/commercially sensitive information etc. Although I don't now recall much of the detail I remember at the time it was a bit of an eyeopener as to what throw away comments in innocent conversations could lead to. Bit of a minefield I'm afraid

Helen4891 looking over your las few posts you have been getting DTD on lamb joints and baby items so you may well be flagged up on the system, sorry but I wouldn't risk my job for a sunday joint

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!

Me too ... BTW thanks for the JTD choco bar tip I'll be doing that cos I've got one of those as well :EasterBun

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**

True, altho Lloydy84 is furious at being banned from their store and Helen is scared witless at the prospect of losing her job!

Actually you are wrong. Very wrong. Out of 'uniform' you are just another customer and are entitled to the same compensation if you get overcharged. Tesco also can't hold you responsible for someone elses actions.

If they sack the OP I think she'd have pretty good grounds for unfair dismissal IMO.

In an ideal world yes i am wrong but we all know that this is not an ideal world.I know i sound hard but she did not think this through.If we play the tesco system [and we all know how hard that can be sometimes] the worst they can do to use is ban us from there store.But if you work for the company that is a whole different ball game.They can say she abused her position etc.
