    The 2 fingers only count as 1 item and because the Vinnies don't appear on the comparison you need to buy something else to make up for them. So you've only got 7 items :(

    There's a fork in the road, which way will you go
    You standing still or will you step into the great unknown,
    Is yours to decide, this is your life.

    Surprise me, was this s'hill? I had an interesting time there today. Must just have missed you as I got the last 15 bottles of red on the shelf.

    So the 'interesting' part of the experience. SA on till was great and checked my receipts and put through my As £5 off after showing her the leaflet saying they could take them along with an APG plus an old & new TPP. Had just finished the transaction when Queen Trout appeared as if by magic and asked the SA not very discreetly if she'd checked all my vouchers :eek: SA said she had. Was just about to walk away when Queenie appeared again and asked to see what had been put through. It took 10 minutes of faffing and backtracking before I finally was allowed to leave even though by this point I had paid and had a receipt to prove it.

    So it seems Ts now have to keep the As receipt. Or maybe they just need to photocopy it. Or maybe they need to mark it. I told them they could do what they wanted with it but no, they weren't keeping it. I asked them how I could return something if Ts had the receipt cue a lesson on APG rules to the Ts staff. They tried to say that I shouldn't be taking anything back after I'd used an APG and how do As deal with it. Had to explain that they simply mark the recipt and that things you'd want to return like books, clothes, electricals were not covered by the APG comparison so no, it wouldn't be a problem.

    Even the SA on the till was getting peeved at the supervisor. Seems she's not well liked in there though I don't know who dislikes her the most - staff or customers :mad: Debating contacting the FB team again after the help they gave following the flashmob at the weekend. That store is a law unto itself.

    Pattylabelle - have found the Vinnie's in B, W and A but when I looked there was no sign of the Lizzie Shaw chocccies. Not looked since the fingers became the next item on the hit list.

    I also have had terrible experiences at this store, including having all my shopping taken back out of the bags while she checked I had bought the right items.

    I just don't bother going there anymore

    For the NI gang, no Fabulous Fingers in D'dald. Plenty of square Vinnie tins - bottom shelf of seasonal aisle - but didn't try them with anything else ... I didn't take the time to write a list before I went so wasn't sure what else worked best with them!

    They accepted my L'oreal and several Special K coupons no problem. The young SA was all interested in where I got them as she wanted some for herself!

    I was also in d'dald tonight there was 3 vinnie tins left and I thought I would try it with the barrel shaped fingers will know in another hour if it compared

    Me too...unfortunately, I'm just back from A's (bear in mind this involves 2 buses and about 40 mins each way). No Vinnie, so thought I'd try the WW. After 1st moc wouldn't scan, SA had to get till sup over, who phoned a manager.
    A good 14 mins later and the result - only one per shop. He was very nice and apologetic about it though, so I just had the rest taken off the bill and left it there.

    Might try the Tobelle tomorrow if it's still working.... p1015.gif

    I was like that last night. Two buses and in and out in eight mins and home on next bus. Went to nearer one on way to work today(they had no vinnies last night) but had some today. Amazing the lengths we go too. :D
