    It's not as pervy as it sounds but I had to rewind and watch it a couple of times before it sank in that there hadn't been some jiggery pokery to make it seem that quick.

    Hello all...

    Thank-you to whoever mentioned DTD on the batteries. Went shopping last night and saw a huge display box of batteries in the toy aisle with BOGOF written on the sides and top. I got 6 packs. Went to CS and showed the assistant the box.
    She called a manager who said 'I will give you a refund and sell them back to you at BOGOF'. I mentioned DTD and he then said ' we have a bulk purchase policy that limits you to buying 3 of any item'.
    I told him that I only intended to buy 3 packs and the other 3 packs should have been free according to the display box and asked him to show me in writing the bulk buy policy. He obviously couldn't.
    He then said that the till assistant should not have sold me 6 packs so DTD not apply.
    So I asked him why so many people in the store obviously get things wrong... with wrong prices on display, selling too many of an item and himself not knowing company policies.
    He then said begrudgingly 'you can have DTD on this occasion as a good will gesture'. I replied ' thank-you...by the way your tie would look better with a plain shirt rather than stripped. (patterned tie with dragons, daffodils and leaks and red and navy stripped shirt).

    My £10 and £15 L2S vouchers say redeemed. :) Still waiting on the other vouchers and the goody bags.

    It can get very confusing as to who is MSE and who isn't. There's lots I know and some I suspect, but suddenly in amongst the rather tongue in cheek tips and comments up pops a sensible and dare I say quite useful comment from someone who to all intents and purposes appears to be taking it seriously and may not know exactly what water they are putting their toe into.

    Good afternoon - thank you for new thread WestIsBest

    Just checked my SSM vouchers and I have 2 now saying redeemed for the L2S vouchers but I can't remember if I put any address details in - it seems such a long time ago, I guess time will tell if they arrive!

    Does anyone know if you womble a save £12 when you spend £80 or more will it be linked to the clubcard it was issued to?

    No , anyone should be able to use it!!:D
