It was the different style of voucher that made the security lady certain that it was a fraud. I don't think she knew about the iphone app.
If you want to see , print a voucher off from the sada website then do the same one off an iphone. They are quite different.0 -
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!
Sorry but that is really awful.
Are you going to phone head office and complain again.
Acutally if I remember rightly, Henlan said if they ask you to go to the office you should refuse.
Hope your not too shaken by it all.

Man came to read my electric meter yesterday. I opened the airing cupboard door, and realised I'd forgotten about the loo roll mountain living in front of the meters.:o I moved some out of the way and promptly knocked over some shampoos.
He probably thought I was some hoarder with a clean-freak streak and couldn't get out the house quick enough.
Good job he didn't see my kitchen.(All the tops of cupboards are piled to the ceiling with cereal).
Im going to start buying the litre robbos so i can take them to work and keep them in my drawer.0 -
Thanks. I have tried most things. I went to see a chiropractor which really helped. I just can't afford it at £40 a time. I thought Morphine would make me sleepy?
Yay Fluffbuckets rule.:j
I think it's dose dependent.
Diazepam is good for muscle relaxing. Turns you into a space cadet but does the trick!
