Dear Diary What I day I've had!
Today I have had the worst trouting ever an uber trouting.
I will try and keep the story short.
Taken to one side by the duty manager as sada Ch@rlt0n.
Then manouvered into the back room , confronted by the securirty lady who said that my legitimate voucher (£18.xx ) was fraudulent.
They had photos of me from this morning and yesterday.
I said its not fraudulent and advised them to check on their own site or call customer services. They refused to do either and called the Police!!!!!!!
I called sada customer services from the Asda back room but all but the junior sv had left , sada customer services agent was horrified.
He tried to call the store but could not get an answer. The Police arrived and asked me what it was all about. I told them to ask the Sada manager as I have not done anything wrong.
So the Policeman disappeared along with the manager , security person and head SV. Came back 5 mins later and said sorry!
I had told the duty manager he would have to say sorry and give me a £5 voucher at the beginning of my kidnapping.
The Policeman was quite wry , he summed up by saying to the duty manager. So you have learned something today about your system and the he agreed ( basically saying to him ' Do you know what you are doing ?').
Duty manager was quite humble once he found the voucher and receipt were/are valid. He gave me my shopping with no charge ( would have got it for a few pounds anyway ) and a £5 voucher ( I know I could have got more , but I didnt want more , just the regular £5 ). Said I am welcome in the shop.
The chap from customer services rang an hour later and said the manager and security person will be spoken too.
Manager was ok really , it was the security person that was sure my voucher was a fake. She was convinced it was a fake as it was an iphone generated voucher. They had only seen pc generated ones before. ( the iphone ones are slightly different than the pc ones , the sada logo is smaller ).( Not a nice person the security lady , thinks she's some sort of dectective)
What convinced the manager was that he went out side and used his own iphone , input the details and up popped the voucher just as I told him it would. If he had done this in the first place it would have saved a lot of kerfuffle or if he would have spoken to his own customer services.
Strangley I got two new receipts with glitchy items on from the free shops , I will put them in soon and see if they work.
I doubt if this will happen to anyone else , but thought I should share as this would be traumatic for the fient hearted.
I am fairly thick skinned and have had lots of debates with toscos sv about DTD on misprices , jtd and dtd , so I understand its all a game. But this was different!
Definatley not under the radar now.
Big thanks to all the contributors on here.
So anyone in the Ch@rlt0n area should be able to use as many and as big vouchers as they like for a while!
Personaly I would go back tomorrow but thats me. I'd be extremely angry lolMake it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

Was thinking as long as purchased in 4,8 12 etc wld be fine amazing how as soon as saw the comparison result I knew straight away what mistake I had made so :mad: with myself & why didn't I remember when shopping:doh:. So thought would post my error as a reminder to others that may forget this rule:)0

No thats fine.
I have Fibromyalgia and prolapsed discs in my neck. Also my lower back has started really hurting. I am finding it hard to sit or walk at the moment.
Have been told Morphine is my final option. I never take these decisions at face value and always do my own research. Over the next week or so I will be googleing other options.I am a Dolphin Angel:A
