    Afternoon, lovely glitchers!

    I went to 3 different Sadas today and the only lipton's ice tea I could find was a mango one in the chiller :(
    I really fancy trying the doritos and tissues, is there any other cheap trigger in that offer bundle?

    Didn't want to leave this unanswered. Might get lost in the inevitable flurry of posts soon to follow :(

    Not sure as I haven't done a Lipton shop. I am sure someone will be able to advise :)

    Since when did 51 = thousands?

    Your version of sharing sounds a lot like "listen to me, I know this inside out, I am the big cheese, see I'm even in the papers". Knowing more about the original glitch finders that you obviously do, I'd imagine many of them are regretting ever posting knowing how this has now panned out.

    In the beginning I was on your side but now, I'm afraid I'm with the majority on here :(

    But we all know the truth, the amount of questions he was asking it was clear he didn't have a clue what was happening. And even 2 weeks later there was still," how many blah blah ?" " what goes with this ?" questions from him.
    Newbies coming on to the thread saw the list and thought ooh he must know everything, when all he did was copy and paste other peoples shops.

    Right got that off me chest, off to A's, M's then T's

    laters peeps :wave:

    Someone I know has just been through the checkouts with 6 pear products. SA stopped transaction, eventhough had know idea how transaction was going to be paid, and called over supervisors. Was waiting for a couple of minutes without explanation. At least a gang of three come over and say there's a problem with the pears, your not allowed to buy it if you'll be using a voucher. SA didn't even know they had a voucher or if they did the value of it. Friend was extremely embarrased and just left the pears from the shopping basket, felt humiliated and left with remainder of shopping paid by cash. Should they ring HO or are the store within their rights to do this, don't really want to give any personal details over but on the otherhand want the store to really get 'spanked'. Ideas?

    Difficult one but it does say on the rules and regs about a fair usage policy and it says 10 is the limit so she did not exceed this rule. 6 does not seem too much for one transaction, seems fairly nomal shopping, its the start of the pay month and lots of people do a big bulk buy at the start of the month.

    As for ringing SADA APG HQ - difficult one but I think yes. 1stly emphasise how upset, humilated and on the verge of tears and how she had to leave msot of the shopping behind because she only had a limited ammount of cash. Also say how shocked and embarassed, people where looking at her as if she was a criminal etc. (lay it on thick but its all true anyway)

    She has not actually done anything wrong, just bought some shopping for which she was going to use part cash and part APG.
    How could she possibly know that there was a new special rule on the APG website saying she was not allowed to buy Pears products with her shopping using part cash and part APG?
    (there isnt and HQ will know this is another rule made up by the store)

    thats great! i didn't know that size worked, i apologise for your agonising wait:o havent seen that one on anyones shopping lists so far, unless i missed it whilst skimming x

    Not to worry....it's good for me to have a wake-up call to be more careful with triggers etc. Always throws me when something is out of stock and I have to engage my brain rather than following my shopping list! :D
