I just got trouted :eek:

Handed over a £17 apg....well, I had to get rid of it at some point...(I do try and keep them lower, this was a miscalculation)Only a small store so not much choice of SA's.
SA called over suprvisor, who called over manager (actually turned out to be team leader, as Manager had gone home), who went off and got an email which he allowed me to read, stating that there is a scam with the APG's. It said a middle aged woman had been going into stores (did name 2 but cant remember them), and getting a lot of shopping and using an APG to pay, and that all the APG's she has used were high value and all had the same barcode, and were therefore a scam and as mine had the same barcode they were not allowed to take it.
They were also scrutinising what I had bought, how much cash I had spent...(very little)....and how could I have got such a big APG for such little shopping.
I suggested they called their head office, and when they have them on the phone, to bring the phone to me so I could talk to them too. I also advised them that they knew very little about their own system, as every APG £10 and over would have the same barcode....(I didnt say, I know, cos the Elite told me ...but felt confident of my knowledge...thank you Elite).
Off goes the manager....wait, wait, wait.
Anyway, eventually he comes back and says that they can accept my APG and apologises, as I am correct and the information in the email is wrong, and asks if I would accept a giftcard as a gesture of goodwill.
I tell him and supervisor, that it is a pity that they have been misinformed, and they really should know more about their own system, but I accept that they were following the instructions in the email, so I will be gracious and accept the giftcard.
Supervisor then says, I think it is because we only get small ones, most are £1 ish....:rotfl:....really? I said, Oh I will make sure I visit more often then
(I will add that the experience did not bother me....(irritated at the waste of time), but I am rather thick skinned in these situations, but can understand the effect it could possibly have on some other people, so thought I would share)

Well Done for staying calm and standing your ground ,How much was the gift card for out of curiosity

how is the TvA shop comparing on the galaxy roasted caramelized hazelnuts when Tesco does not stock it and list it as dairy milk whole nut for the alternative if you put it in your basket for A and compare, because i couldn't find it in T on my supermarket i had to switch it out and find it on A's first hope that makes sense

I've told you before......

and I'll say it again...

It's pure witchcraft:)

Read back, but so confused now, notes everywhere :think:

Can anyone tell me what the trigger is for the toothpaste, when combining it with the chocolate/pop/nuts etc at T

I realise that I need the galaxy roasted & caramlised hazelnut bar and say 7 boxes of maltesers.

But is the toothpaste a stand alone one like the deoderant?

It could be the Arm and Hammer. I can't see the sensitive one on MSM just the care one. Can you see the sensitive one on MSM?
