    Thats Shocking!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    I would contact the directors office at Asda House. Send a letter like the one you wrote on here. I did this with Tesco and got a call from the directors office after the case was dropped.

    I however cant really talk about that now.

    I always keep a iphone on me for them to check and also call the HO

    If you call HO that is the best idea. NEVER go in a backroom. Just state your stay in a public area until the police arrive.

    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!

    henlans the 2 things you haven't got on your list is the 2 things i have been too chicken to try ...vitamins and nivea (i mean confirmed types or have i missed this) :(


    Re vitamins. I've only bought Proplus:cool:, but the effervescent vit C 1000mg £1.25 works as a cheapy item giving a comparison of 83p.

    Nivea. The cheapy is the 99p Nivea cream 50g in a small blue pot, giving comparison of 90p. I've had success with Q10 anti-aging Day cream, Q10 anti-aging night cream and the Q10 Skin refining day cream.

    It's only a game

    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.

    Sorry to hear that :-( by any chance do you have any silver amalgam fillings? If you do, could you request a mercury toxicity urine test? Im not trying to give medical advice as i know thats not allowed! In my previous job i have heard that may help? Feel free to tell me to mind my own. Im not offended x

    Do you remember Mr T's?
    Well last time they had the 25% off wine if you bought 6 bottles there was a glitch. It took the 25% off the full price on the buy 3 for £10/ £12 wines. I wonder if that is happening again.

    Couldn't see any 3 for £10 or 2 for £12 wines
  • oh just got trouted, security came over checking his voucher with other staff, now he refuses to go anymore.
    looks like i will only be doing 1 shop a day oh well iv had my fill and was thinking of having a rest so maybe this is a sign haha

    those are gone now, let me know if there are any others.

    Neither me nor the forum team read every post (although I do try to!) so they can get missed occasionally.

    Thank you for all the hard work and effort you put in Redfox, we really appreciate it :A

    Bet you must hold your head in your hands sometimes! Oh bum, another glitch!!
