Just a quick question. Can the APG's be traced back if you use an unmarked receipt for a second go? The CS didn't mark my receipt today so wondering if its safe to use it again?

This question has been asked a couple of times recently, and compaired to golden tickets after DTD. The general consensus is no, they perhaps should not be used again. Apart from the honesty issue, theres bound to be some way of it being traced, and if this becomes the norm, or seen as abuse, the APG could be scrapped or tightened up significantly.

Much better to play fair, stay under the radar and continue to benefit from the current system;)

Hi.
Just catching up and the same thing happened to me.I know FK has some strong views on this after reading his comments.

Mmmm. Sipping some elderflower champagne. Despite the claims, it is certainly alcoholic.

I bought some swing top bottles from
Ikea recently. They are now being sterilised with Milton ready to receive my home made nectar. Just thought I'd try some whilst I'm waiting, hic
It's GOOD. . almost too good to gift.

Its a fine line really and everyone has to make their own decision about things like this, so please dont think i was taking the moral ground, just paraphrasing what Ive seen discussed recently.

Its interesting really, as some would say buying glitches intentionally (the wine being a good example) or knowingly buying mispriced items for DTD etc could also be seen as wrong. (mainly people who have not been educated in MSE ways!)

Everyone has to make their own call about what they feel happy doind, and how far they want to 'bend' the rules. But at least this is a good place to get advice about glitches and discuss how far to safely go;)

Afternoon all,

Sorry not posted recently, but I do skim read and catch up when I can.... never manage to get to Asd@ so no wine for me, but never mind!

Got a moral dilemma though, and need some thoughts please.....

Went Ts this morning, for some school uniform and some bits of shopping (fruit, veg, eggs, bread, loo roll, marmite, lollies, beer.) At the till, I did what I always do if I have a box of beer - put everything else on the belt, then ask the SA to use wand to scan beer box to save lifting in and out. She leant over, scanned it, then carried on scanning the shopping.

Totalled up, I paid, not really taking much notice as wasnt using coupons or anything. It wasnt till I got home, put it all away and looked at the receipt - the beer wasnt on it :eek:

Part of me thinks :beer: but the other part is :eek:

She definitely scanned it, as it beeped, so I dont know what happened

Should I do anything about it now???

I know what I would do personally... I would ring customer services. They will most certainly say not to worry. At least you have a clean conscience then.

Good on ya.
