Visited Tosco today armed with MOC's, 1st time ever using MOC's in Tosco.
Had printed various MOCS from supersavvy, none of which stated only 1 per transaction and had duplicate MOC's on certain items. Only bought one of each product but presented duplicates of the MOC's to SA, "sorry I can only take 1 per purchase" I replied the coupon doesn't state 1 per transaction, along come trout, "1 per purchase" I repeated that the coupons didn't specify 1 per transaction. Trout claimed she could prove company policy and removed a card from her pocket. Trout read card and then put it back in her pocket and trotted off to fetch manager. Manager said "1 per purchase and you must purchase the item. I replied that I had purchased the item and these were tosco coupons, none of which specified 1 per product or 1 per transaction. Manager said to SA take the vouchers and went off muttering about ringing head office to tell them not to produce MOC's without the 1 per transaction condition.
As a newbie to all of this MOC's and APG's and glitches, should I contact Tosco head office and complain about the treatment I received given that the the people in the queue were muttering about rules being rules and getting agitated with me for keeping them waiting.
Love the thread by the way.

Hello, and welcome to the thread. It's not your fault the vouchers didn't say 1 per transaction. You aren't supposed to mind-read are you?!!!:rotfl:

I doubt a complaint would get anywhere or achieve much, although other people here may have a different view. I'd stick to using MOCs - quite properly as you have been doing - and if you spot mispricings etc. rather than devoting time to ringing HO over this one.

To be fair to us, and perhaps a little unfair - or probably actually not - to T, even if it had stated (which it didn't) "1 coupon per transaction", that's still a little ambiguous isn't
it? :mad: What does that mean? 1 coupon of the same type i.e. the same Xp off the same product, or only 1 coupon in total (whatever it is off or whatever it is, e.g. 'helping hand', CC, MOC), and no more whatsoever, on any single transaction?

I'd probably have got distracted and gone into how "1 coupon per transaction" is unclear and how any ambiguity is read in favour of the consumer under consumer unfair terms regulations. etc., (and after all, "rules are rules"!!!) although at least you kept it simple and the end result was you were allowed to use the coupons.:T

And that's before I'm got onto the technical distinctions over the words "coupon" and "voucher" and, if they accept CC coupons, but not CC vouchers, at the same time as an MOC, then clearly you can use more than one "coupon" per transaction!!

If not, then my other "coupon" would become a "voucher", allowing me to use 1 "coupon" and 1 "voucher" (which isn't a "coupon") against the same shop.:rotfl: That always gets them. Confounds them. They very often don't understand the point, so just take them in the end to avoid a scene-making customer (well, then, simply accept the valid coupons/vouchers/whatever as they should be accepted and don't query it with me if you don't want me to give you an answer:rotfl::mad::rotfl:). However, keeping simple, as you did, works better I think.:T

Footnote: Sains, by contrast, clarifies in its T&Cs (of the BM) that a "coupon" and a "voucher" are interchangeable words and mean the same thing. But this isn't a dig at T!!! Promise.:rotfl::D
