Did what should have been a quick T shop with 1 Finest 1 Dairy 2 Tropicana and 2 Febreze MOCS plus an A fiver

Got the team leader from Hell - its a he so can't be a trout. I've come across him before. He makes things up to refuse certain coupons and literally throws them back at you. This time it was the the car MOCs - apparently they are 'suspended' due to 'fraud' but will be 'accepted again next week' according to 'very urgent HO E Mail'. He also refused my Asda fiver because it was black and white and could be a copy LOL

He actually stormed off when I challenged him.

CS ladies smiled in a 'no comment' way at the mention of his name and simply cashed in the rejected coupons for me.

So cross I forgot to pick up my Direct order which was why I went in first place !!

PS Note to self - do not get into heated situations when hormones are raging - I used to get weepy, now I get mad as hell

im sure if you rang headoffice they wuld send you a voucher to cover yr petrol;) as it was team leaders fault you forgot to pick you yr order

I'm fed up of missing out on these deals at Morries. I'm sure its mainly the jobless who get them all because every time I go at 2.30 after I finish work they're always all gone next time if I hear early enough work can wait!

Or people who work shifts, or part time, or its the staff in stores buying it, or shoppers are on holiday from work, or are self employed, or....(you get my point)

Evening Everyone,
It has been a hard couple of days OH saw the Bowel Cancers Screening Specialist on Monday and is having a colonoscopy on Thursday. So fingers crossed for a good result.
Hugs to all that need them.
Nice to hear of all your glitching.

Sorry to hear this - hope everything comes back okay.

Please don't use the word FACT to put weight behind your assumptions.
Many people on here might take offence to someone who has only joined this very month and is already pushing their biased veiws upon us.

And no, I won't feed you any more after this.

Ok fine, I have apologised and you want to continue having a go, that's your prerogative. It is FACT that there are people like that. I know some of them, some of them are in my family. Maybe they are the only ones in the country though and its the fault of my family and the families of those others I know. Even if that's the case it is still fact that there are people like this, I never specified how many, lucky you that you never encountered them.

Also just because I only joined this month does that mean I'm not entitled to a view? It wasn't even a view as such, more a flippant remark as I was a bit narked about the number of times I've been in morrisons to find nothing. I already explained this if you care to read back.

This is the last I'm going to say on the subject now as I've already apologised twice and tried to explain it wasn't meant in a nasty way to anyone. Anyone else who wants to have go at me I'll just be ignoring.

Yeah ok, thats a fair point I was just letting off steam because I've never yet managed to get a Morries deal and I was jealous of those who have Again I'm sorry if I offended anyone, if you knew me you'd know I'm the last person to criticise someone for not having a job.

unfortunately you were the first to dish out that exact criticism today

Comparison total (compared products only) £32.55 £31.75

The multibuy discount of £2 is on the receipt but not on the comparison...:beer:

Also , very oddly, the receipt says Attract for Him and the only ones I see on MSM and A's site are also for Him...doesn't seem to be one for her although I guess there may be one instore.

BC ends 3017 if it helps...it doesn't compare anywhere else either, only to T's.

Also worth noting, the mint choc and raspberry ice creams are 2 for £3 on MSM and discount is on the receipt but not on comparison...must be because one was N/A.

Hi. Can you load this up into the sada.com grocery website and see what it comes up with. You can add a receipt into an online shopping account (or register and then do so) using the codes from the receipt that used to be used for the APG. This puts the items from that receipt into your favourites.

GIFT GLITCHES AT A:

I've decided to update and re-post this, from this morning, re. the gift glitches.

There's a number of gift glitches at the moment. We have one where you should be able to get two specific gift items for a shade under £1.45 each.
There also seems to be a glitch when buying 2 of the Lynx Attract for Her/Him, but we are awaiting clarification of which item this relates to.

You must get the exact precise items as per your chosen combination. Buy one of the following four combinations (in order, best to worst - the last one isn't v. good):

First combination
1 x Dove Fresh Indulgence Pampering Set (pink) - it's the one with a woman with her arms in the air in the bottom right quarter.
1 x Vaseline Mini Make Up Bag - shown on post no 1273 (page 64 of this thread)
The above combination should work out at £2.89 for both items, or £1.44 and a half pence each. I don't think it's been tried, but it should work - the best of the 4 deals - on the basis that the Dove isn't showing the multibuy on MSM.

Second combination
2 x Dove Fresh Indulgence Pampering Set (pink) - it's got a woman with her arms in the air in the bottom right quarter - pay 2 for £8 but comparing at £12 vs £8, therefore making them £1.60 each. This combination was reported as working on a shop done yesterday.

Third combination
1 x Vaseline Mini Make Up Bag
1 x Adidas Ice Dive (Trio)
These precise items are shown in post no 1273 (which, for me, is on page 64). 2 for £8, becomes approx. £2.65 for each. (£2.64 and a half)
The two things showing to the right of the Vaseline bag in the picture are actually inside the bags as sold. This combination was reported as working on a shop done last Saturday. The Adidas Ice Trio is a trigger that doesn't appear on the APG comparison.

Fourth combination - v poor
1 x Dove Mini Pampering Set
1 x Adidas Ice Dive (Trio) - works out about £3 each. This combination hasn't been tried, but Adidas Ice Dive Trio did act as a trigger on combination 3 and the Dove Mini Pampering Set was tried on a previous shop last Saturday, and did compare to T at £3.33 when bought with different attempted trigger that failed to work.

All four combinations are A v T.
Don't forget the fillers (need 7 of them if doing combination 2, 3 or 4, but only need 6 fillers if doing first combination).

I've checked immediately before posting this and everything is showing as it was before on MSM (Adidas Ice Trio missing, Dove Fresh Indulgence pink set showing without multibuy, and Vaseline bag showing as A £6/any 2 for £8 versus T £3.66 and with both A and T in stock).

I don't think it's been tried, but it should work - the best of the 4 deals - on the basis that the Dove isn't showing the multibuy on MSM. It's a variation on the second combination, but I've replaced the second Dove with another item (the Vaseline mini makeup bag) which is even cheaper at the competitor. As you're mixing the Dove with the Vaseline bag, but the Dove isn't showing the multibuy on MSM, it should compare at full price for both. 2 x Vaseline bag WON'T work, because the multibuy offer is showing for the Vaseline on MSM (for those who can see it).
