    On to other things - RE JTD. To all those who are saying "blah blah has (s)poilt it for all of us" - shut it! I'm sorry if that's rude but you're simply just jealous. If you had the time, inclination or the brainpower to do it you would be.

    That is rude. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and to voice it.

    No chance.

    Never under estimate anyone.

    Tesco used DTD instore as a way to avoid trading standards jumping on them. Their price integrity team is frankly shocking and for this reason they have the incentive. All customer service operators have been trained by their franchise managers (allthough I haven't had one that will go on record saying it yet as it's not official policy) [hmm, thinking of this I may post on the FB page - hmm] to be elusive and offer to "resell" at the normal cost thus avoiding DTD. They then have to ring and authorise DTD should you ask for it.

    Not true CS can authorize dtd, no phone call required.

    They are just trouts - pure and simple. I have been on the receiving end of a failed DTD, yes failed, in that I bought 15 items and even after conversations with HO and the Exec himself, I had no joy. For this reason I am currently in conversation with trading standards. This is the only way to combat it. Unfortunately this has raised my profile in a store (13 miles away) so I don't go to that (my 8th choice store) anymore.

    Again very rude, they are people doing a job.

    AKA p1ssing in the wind.

    People can choose to do a coupon more than once, use DTD knowing the price on just one item, eat a grape on the way round, womble more than two receipts in 14 days, use other people's conditional spend coupons, do more than £100 JTD in a month and any number of small things that are breaking the T&Cs. Why if someone does 1-10 are they better than someone who does 10-20. What is the cut off point? Can you give me a figure? NO! WEll don't bloody bother.

    No need to swear.

    You know what, get of this bloody thread if you don't like the glitching. I hate jobsworths with a passion! :mad::mad::mad:

    Not for you to be telling people to get off this thread now is it ?

    Hate is usually a sign of something you see in others that you also see in yourself, so self resentment, but channeled at another person.

    Anyway, big hugs to all those that hammer Tesco - long may it continue! :money::D:rotfl::A

    On this we agree.

    You seem very angry, calm down.

    That's what they do at my local

    My local just reprice in at the fridge so was a bit confused - I was already getting tired and annoyed as I was finding it hard to find anything 2 of our extras have pretty similar layouts but this 3rd is completely different so takes longer to find anything

    I got teeny tiny hands/fingers (ring finger is a size I) I saw a receipt trapped in the middle of a large line of trolleys so wiggled my finger into the gap in the trolley and was "folding" the receipt up with 1 finger so I could get it through the bars, welllllllllll my finger got stuck, took me about 3 minutes as I wouldn't let go of the receipt :) it was right by the taxi bay too :o

    That's Nannylala, once she's spotted one she won't let go;)
    When Westie and I were in town earlier some kids wanted to take my picture and get my autograph because they thought I was Zack Dingle from Emmerdale! :eek:

    I love it:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
