Tesco Maybe Stopping Using Coupons!!!!

katskorner

Used 10.50 worth of coupons today and ended up paying £1.75 for my shop. I was with two tiny kids and it was mayhem so I just handed him a wad and said I shall let you sort out what you can take. He scanned two £5 ones and a 50p and all my points coupons went through so ended up spedning £1.75 and getting 176 points with a further 160 added on at CS cos he gave me some back!!!

Good day.

For the first time in a long long time, they refused the magazine coupons, in fact he voided one off. And I had to endure his boring chat, his boring views on life etc (coz I thought he fitted the "coupon taker" description"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a good day today with coupons and extra points, I tend to go to the young student girls on the tills, hand all my vouchers/coupons over and say "if you could just check if they will go through and if not I'll have them back" and this line has worked with me for the past month.

The young blokey students are 'coupon phobic' I think.

£20 off in coupons and 715 extra points - very happy with shop today

My OH went ito our local Tescos yesterday armed with all her clothing vouchers, including blues, old quit, new quit and yellows and strategically picked the young male assistant and tried to divert his attention by chatting about all manner of irrelevant things. Failure, he methodically went through all the vouchers and only accepted the yellow £6 off and 2 quit £6 off. We bought £21 childrens clothes, £11 mens and OH £30.He wouldnt even scan the £10 blue and only took one Mail book token. Undetered I went back in to cs with my £10 blue coupon and stated that the cashier had not scanned the £10 one. No problem she said and gave me £10 back. So in total £28 in clothing coupons accepted, OH didnt like her £30 picks and will return them to the store this morning meaning we really only pay £4 for £32 worth of clothing.
On another note Tescos have Easter Eggs for £4.99 each or 2 for £8, we get home and scrutinise the bill and see that thet didnt take off the multi buy discount and we have been overcharged £1.98, DD 3.96 not quite a free egg but every penny helps:rotfl:

Update to my earlier post on being overcharged on the Easter eggs. My OH just got back from Tesco where she told me of her experience with a young cs assistant who was adamant that the multi discount didnt apply to her eggs. OH made the mistake of leaving the cs assistant go down on her own and you guessed it confirmed that the offer did not apply to the eggs she had bought. Undetered OH went down to the aisle and recovered the label that stated 2 for £8, it was wedged down behind the shelf edge.
Somehow I can't see a customer hiding a shelf edge label where thay are going to get a discount. The same girl then conceded my OH was right and offered her £1.98 as the overcharge to which my OH pointed out DTD. Grudgingly gave the full ammount of £3.96 back. Now I can accept mistakes being made by a store selling thousands of lines but the line is crossed when store individuals hide the evidence to prevent the customer getting back what they have been overcharged.. The battle lines have been drawn

I was once overcharged (price on cardboard display box was cheaper than SEL), when I pointed this out to CS, the display box has mysteriously dissapeared! :mad: There is no way a Customer would have taken the cardboard display box and scattered the contents all over the shelves.

Moral of the story is to ALWAYS accompany CS back to the shelf if you are overcharged.

I chose the wrong bored young boy yesterday. Wanted to use up my last Daily Mail book token, I have been using these successfully most shops for last 2 weeks.
Today he refused to accept it and called supervisor over (this was the only coupon I handed in). She confirmed that they never accept the book tokens. I did not want to argue that I knew they did !

Then asked the lad to cancel two of the items I had purchased (had only brought them to pad out my shopping). He said he would have to call supervisor again to void them. Did not want to draw any more attention to myself so paid for all shopping.

It does leave a nasty feeling when you get a rebuff like this.

Coupon-mad

oldbill, when you are next looking at this thread, what Easter Eggs did your OH buy? We'd all like to know I am sure, even though they are no longer free...
