    Well done :T:T they have lots of the price flop mags too :T and they aren't on the ball with tickets :D
    tip: BWS and H&B are their weak points haha :p



    I had completely forgotten about my £25 one..


    I see your 'not going to Tesco' didn't last long:rotfl::rotfl:
    I have kept myself away after their treatment. Took your advise and phoned CS, they didn't do much. Just phoned the store and give me ref number:(.

    Hope MMW is recovering well.

    Congratulations to Mr n Mrs 3Dogs and Dr Karlie:T:T

    Lindos, Regarding the jam and Shef*d store. I wouldn't bother its a really small store and I've never seen that variety in there. They only have a tiny range of products. Anyway to many lurkers here, even if they had some it would have been cleared by now.

    yeah:o:o:o:p (i love the place! lol)

    that's rubbish :mad: it all depends on who you speak to. I'm sure someone said just hang up and ring again until you get somewhere. Unsure who said it though, sorry!

    hi all,

    i went to 3 stores. I got 6 packs of belly pork in LE" Va444y.
    :beer: no other packs.

    in 2nd store picked up 10 packs but got trouted. She realised that bogof wasn't going through. Said i couldn't wait around to sort out issue and left them there.

    3rd store has some but my least favourite sa are there. so didn't bother.

    i didn't find coffee but found 4p socks and some kosher marmalade.

    we love the bbq packs so quite happy.

    Urgghhhh!
    Decided that the delivery I was expecting wasn't going to turn up so I decided to dye my hair. Yep! Knock on the door and it's the delivery man. I said you've probably seen everything on your rounds haven't you? And he said, I have, but in thirteen years I've never seen anyone wearing a Tesco bag on her head! Well, he has now!!!!

    hi maryan
    i would email as well, uncle philips email address is on the 1st page of the thread

    usually you get a better response, ensure you say how upsetting the whole experience was, if you have never done a dtd in that store before they have no grounds to accuse you of whatever they did.....not sure exactly what they said or accused you of but personally if it was me i would call it slander (unfortunately i'm not usually innocent;););)) say how anxiety stricken you are to go in that store and walk past the same staff. I would demand an apology and explanation, video and any other evidence to back up their !!!! and bull stories. Nothing less than a personal apology from the store manager and further training for the CS staff. hopefully you might get a bit of compensation too but i wouldn't let that SA get away with reducing you to tears. Not on!

    By the way you need a thick skin if you are going to attempt a DTD. If they say no personally I have learnt as FK also advises not to push it. Once or twice I have wanted to show them who was right but tbh they are more likely to remember your face for next time if you do that. Keep the item and ring CS later. Never accept a refund there and then, never offer to let them resell it at the offer price. Ensure you personally go back with CS to SEL, ensure you make a mental note of her name and also the manager who usually comes down if needed.

    Hope you are feeling a bit better now and sooooooo sorry i forgot to answer you pm the other day, my memory is like a sieve and i read your pm at work, by the time i've caught up with the thread i've usually gone into a coma:(:(:(:(:A:A:A

    lol the lady with the eyebrows served me today, i have always found her to be very professional and usually quite helpful, but we have had problems with the blonde one that was on c/s desk with her today,my husband especially has had problems with her over a dtd for a phone,in the end we had to phone customer services who backed us up, i think she might have received some training since then, dont be fooled by the facade :D

    LOL...funny that you recognised my descriptions though!;)

    So you have a husband...so you havent got aviator glasses and curly blonde hair then....or is that your OH? :)

    OMG! Just had a complete nightmare! Went to T's this avo and grabbed myself a few boxes of cheap Cheerios that had been whoopsied down coz the boxes were damaged.

    Anyway, got home and went up to my stash in the loft, and to my horror it was baking :eek:. My 1p Thorntons egg that I had been saving until post Weight-Watchers was completely melted :(.
    Why did I not think about this before. Has been lovely and cold up there over the winter:o

    Hey-ho, have now re-located all food-related items to the kids bedroom (under the beds and on top of the wardrobe lol)

    What a plonker:rotfl:
