You think? funny isn't the word, she is scary! Shame she won't do 'special apg shops' I even try to explain it and give her lists but she won't play, only has ever picked me up 1 sally and posted me the recipt as she 'can't be bothered' !! so annoying this is, coupons she will use happily but apg's - no, says too complicated! she has so much potential but won't play:( I did ask her if it's wise to have a go at the trouty sa's and say those mean things...

I asked her what if she needed to go to their till another time? She answered both q's for me...buy telling me, 1, I will tell them what I think of them as she remembers how nice an sa i used to be, so feels the need to tell them off and 2, she said I will 'never' need to go to a trout, as once she was being 'guided' = forced (in her opinion) to go to a till they had just opened up, she told the supervisor 'no I won't go to her, she gave me bad service last time and I'd rather shop in Tesco if sa's like that serve me', the sa's face was a sight to see and as she was leaving the store a manager approached her and gave her a £10 gift card and asked her to please keep coming back as they valued her custom and not to switch to tescos....on this shop that day she got her shop down to almost nothing with coupons :rotfl: plus she get a tenner

i think your sister is right , as i have told asda and tesco managment before it costs nothing for your staf to be polit and corectly trained on policys and i to have had gift card for bad service,
i have worked for few big company and can honestly tell you i would never treat people the way some do , i understand they dont want to get in to trouble taking fake money/coupons / re used apgs /

but i also know theres a way about doing such thing like

greating customer with a smile and hello /good day etc then scan shop with gental chit chat (if customer replys if not just smile) if they present something you want to check ,

just explain politly that you have to get all coupons/apg/pps check my the supervisor and you will just get them now apologies

explain its not them and not to worry as your sure it will be sorted/you have had to do it many time today with other customer big smile offer to help pack if needed and hurry the supervise over, when they get put throu appoligise again for wait and promptly do the tranaction with a thankyou for shopping here :rotfl::rotfl:

my mum gives me her recipts every week and tells me to keep them :eek::eek: i alway tell her about the glitches and shes say im to busy -- she dose use coupons now and again but tbh they earn good money so the stuf they buy to eat for them dosnt have coupons often and dosnt want flumps;)(just a joke as i have a box full:rotfl: going to the local kids youth club i hope

my dad loves what i do but h8ts the supermarkets lol

my brother thinks if he gives me the money i shuld do it - i sugested i would for half his apg but he still hasnt got back to me lol;):eek::rotfl:

Have been out visiting today catching up on my phone as and when I could.
You beat me to it re rosie76 and her sis ellejmorgan. I have seen rosie76 post recently, including today - but not ellejmorgan for quite awhile.

I am also missing lots of folk hope they will pop by one day soon.

rolo-polo have started my spreadsheet and today was a NSD :j
One of my other resolutions is not to have a potty mouth in the car, hope I can keep to it .
I have no other vices :A:rotfl:

Do you have to go to CS to do this? TIA:) wouldn't they recognise you if you got them to print APGs all the time?

At my store they ask for your name and postcode when they check your receipts.
One day when I'd run out of ink I took a womble I'd checked at home that produced a £5 off £40 spend and got them to print it in store.

When I got to the till, the SA said I can't take that it must be a photocopy as it is black and white.
When I told her that the lady at customer services had just printed it out for me she looked embarrassed and apologised.

This is great to know - I didn't know they could print it for you:)

Ill add tho as I wish to keep a low profile I will probs not do this myself, I don't want any workers at sada looking at my dodgy receipts mostly with 1 flump, 1 onion, 1 potato etc etc:rotfl:
