looby hope your ok -sending hugs

i would have been so shook up, strangely enough i was thinking exactly this today-that my voucher generated by my apg shop today of £25 with such a small recipt would draw attention to myself, i will perhaps wait and use it in a different store, problem is we only have one big store in such a small town

good advice though thanks

also consider spreading apg voucher use among different stores, Sa's get to recognise you:o

evening guys and gals

just wanted to warn you when planning your APG shop....I was trouted this afternoon in epic proportions , although depsite being accused of everything under the sun, and being able to prove my innocence....they still refused to accept my APG of £27 from this mornings shop......Compliance Manager,Store Manager and Security Manager...and H/O apparently all saying that I'd taken advantage of the APG scheme and they had the right to refuse a coupon.

I am now £27.xx 'out of pocket'......just in essence for pushing the boundaries in terms of going back twice in one day, buying the same products to regenerate APG etc...

Other than that, I've not broken any rules or T&Cs and I will be taking the matter a lot further, due to the events which took place. I'm not going into detail on here as it doesnt really matter...I just would like to warn others that generating large APGs might not be the best idea....might be better to do 2 or 3 at a time generating a few quid on each one so its less conspicuous, as I sincerely wouldnt want any of you guys to have to endure what I did earlier xx

Sorry to hear that.
Hope things get sorted for you.

Must admit that reading that gave me a bit of a start. I do tend to be on the paranoid side though!
Think the idea of a few smaller ones is a good one.
Especially since my store is new and not all the SA's are sure what to do with them, so wouldn't want to be drawing attention to myself with large amounts.

£1.98 each and then a multibuy deduction in my 'local' at 8.35 pm.

Strange mine scanned at £1 each so £4 for 4 bottles but Mr T was £2.52 who knows so 69p a bottle

These were fanta zero and sprite zero

re looby's experience-perhaps those criticising leenie a day or two ago can now understand the paranoia of getting trouted:(

edit me thinks asda may be feeling like there is a "cottage industry" of savvy shoppers after their profits, after the dom jolly glitch, muller and pop glitches , however we are doing legitimate shops, do they expect all their customers to be braindead clueless shoppers who don't research their shopping before writing their list?

I suspect it was the large vouchers and the similar shops each time that drew attention

can't keep my eyes open

OMG I have just had the mother of all rows in T's:o:o:oWent to a T's for whoopsie time that I swore I'd never go back to because it's a scrum but its reductions are always fab. The family that are always their were there so my heart sunk a bit because the husband is huuuuuge and about 6ft and just blocks the stuff so no one gets anything.Tonight they brought out two green crates of stuff and everyone dived in:eek:Well he got the hump and said" BEEP this, I'm having the lot and promptly picked up the two crates and put them on top of his trolley:eek::eek:Well I just saw red:mad:I said "what exactly do you you think your doing?" and he said "you can beep off these are mine"...So I shouted at the lady on the fish counter to help sort it out and within about 30 seconds their were about 10 staff and the manager and I just went mad, manager took me to one side and apologised and said I can see you're upset we'll ban him hes done it before:T:TBy then because I'd started, everyone else started shouting at the bloke with the stuff, who then left quite quickly:TMe and my gob but for once I just lost it and thought no you're not getting away with it again, in fact at one time I think I told him he was no more than a big bully:o:oCa't believe I shouted at him but noone intimidates a Lala:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Definately could have done with Happy at my side tonight;)

Well done you.:beer::beer:

I can't believe he actually did that though.:(
