    Nicely done:D

    I think I'll leave the strawberries well alone today :rotfl::rotfl:

    i know you've already had it drilled into you, but thought I'd share my experience (again!) :)

    I had 3 DTDs in one of my locals...the 3rd caused a bit of a hoo-haa as Ts system wasnt allowing refunds onto certain debit cards (their system problem)...and they wanted to give me my DTD on a giftcard...I refused as it was a large amount and eventually they gave me cash.

    The next time I went in,I was followed by security (I didnt know this until later)..I got a few bits of food and the go cook 342 knife sets and at the SS till the duty Manager came over and said she knew what I was doing and they wouldnt give me DTD on the knives...i hadnt even scanned them at that point, let alone paid for them!! I asked her what her problem was and she said they'd been watching me since my DTD and knew I was actively seeking DTD and then banned me!!

    This was last October....about 6 weeks ago, me, hubby and the kids went back in thinking they might have forgotton....but she spotted me putting apples in the trolley and demanded I leave!!

    So for me, I didnt really abuse DTD (she only knew about the Barbie car I did in there, not the 2 lots of phones and printer!!), yet the outcome was grim, and most certainly here, there doesnt seem to be a great turnover of staff, so unlikely I'll be back in there for a long time!!!

    My nearest Ts isnt that great for deals or DTD, but if I spot one, I dont do it...if its that great I'll get hubby to go in...but I'm not risking another ban.

    I generally only go for the biggies to make it worth my while...or those that you can justifiably buy in bulk and make a profit on (like the suntan lotion)....but the smaller things like strawberries/biscuits etc I leave as would rather they didnt remember my face :rotfl::rotfl:

    my advice would be like others - lay low and hope that theres a change of staff when you next go in....or save that store for glitches instead and use another for DTD :cool:
    hoping for a very MSE Ts glitching 2012!

    I can confirm the Radox glitch is working in Boots, just got 3 for £1.01 was a bit wary as the SEL was £1.99 but took a chance and it worked, SA was lovely and asked if it worked in any other flavours and went off to check!!

    Town was a riot of Union jacks!! every where was getting in to the spirit...I saw a slogan in one shop "it's a once in a lifetime celebration" I may have to change my signature......

    loads of product in the union flag livery and as Celebrate mentioned earlier, these will be good to look for after the Jubilee/olympics!
