Reading these boards, imagine the response to Jesus turning up with pregnant wife at the inn. Tis truly the season of goodwill on MSE

That was joseph, jesus was born in the stable!

If he turned up on here he would get a lecture for dragging his pregnant wife around, not booking a travel lodge sale room months in advance and reported to child services. As for poor Mary, she would get totally slaughtered!
Its Christmas, relax everyone. The children didn't starve, the refunds most likely happened and Asda will come out of this shiney clean cos they have a sale on.

Went to asda to get a tenner cashback. bank acct in credit by £17.45 made one purchase of tictacs 40p plus tenner cashback. kids went hungry that nite and now i'm forced to shop at tesco's !"!!!!!!!

This makes no sense to me, if the op genuinely had no food in to the feed the kids why only buy tictacs to get the £10 cash back? Could have bought ingredients doe a meal and still have enough left for the cb.

Unless of course the tenner was to spend on a night out and the mints were in case he/she got lucky?;)

I see you've spotted the fatal flaw in the OP's tale of woe. If you only had £17.45, needed to feed the kids, and were in ASDA, wouldn't you just buy some food?

Indeed you would, hence the original post is obviously just BS.

Only having £17 left in the bank account to feed a family is not responsible so personally I agree they need to manage their money better.

What utter tripe. Personally, I would never get to a point where I have less than many hundreds of pounds in my bank account (no kids, my own business etc.) but to say people who do live on the breadline are irresponsible to only have £17 available for food is both snobbish and moronic.

Typically, you kind of people ignore the fact of the bizarre system where a transaction fails yet still takes the amount from your balance. This is the issue, not the amount the OP had in their account. As stated numerous times previously, any type of complex system would fix this issue to avoid amounts not paid out to come off the balance. Don't get me started on the self service checkouts. It is just cheap American software that clearly doesn't work.

The OP mentioned the £10 voucher in another post within this forum. In that post, the location of the store was mentioned.

Sophsnan has mentioned the store named by the OP in previous posts made on the MSE forum.


I think the original post was created on the MSE Forum for a little bit of Vent, not for Praise or a Warning to others.

I feel that the OP will not return to this forum/thread to read/repsond to any of the comments made. Within 2-3 days it this thread would have dropped off the bottom of the page.
