Bought them, discount didn't come off, so went to cs (as you do). The worse cs there attempted to trout me.Excuses given, the second half of the sel (2 for £3 - 18.5 or 75cl part) doesn't relate to the product that had it's product name on and it says it's for a 75cl bottle, the ones that you've bought are 750ml so they can't be the same and offered to refund my money.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I asked permission (and was told ok) to take a photo and when asked why, I said that I'd be taking it up with HO.

As you probably know, there a lot of HO staff there at the moment. One came to the cs desk and asked what the problem was. I told him, showed him the photo and explained what the cs had said - much to her embarrassment.:eek::rotfl: HO guy said that he read the sel the same way that I did, apologised to me for the error and for the treatment that I had received from the staff and told cs that it was a clear overcharge and could she please follow company policy. You could see cs was seething. He added that he hoped that my experience wouldn't put me off returning to the store.

Yes, it is a good store for dtd. The staff are pretty slapdash. Classic one is that they leave the promo signs up outside the store when promo has finished. Always ood sel's and invariably new offer sels on fresh meat/poultry etc., with more expensive goods displayed.

I am not a frequent visitor but usually a happy one after shopping there.

Brilliant
Indeed I bet there is lots of HO folks there :cool:

Tesco now imposing the 30,000 points per quarter cap on Clubcard points


A couple of years ago, Tesco changed the rules of their Clubcard scheme. A cap was brought in, with the maximum number of points you could earn per quarter capped at 30,000 (so 72,000 Avios or 75,000 Flying Club miles).
This cap was never enforced, though. Everyone assumed that Tesco had brought it in to cover its back if it discovered abuse of the scheme, so that it could strip people of points if it wanted.
This quarter, though, it IS being enforced. Not for everyone, but for some people. There are a number of reports on paidtoshop and Flyertalk of people having their balances reduced to exactly 30,000 points and receiving just £300 of vouchers.
Frankly, this is a bit of a poor show by Tesco, since the rule has never been imposed in the past. It is difficult to know if you would have any recompense against them, given that the rules do state this clearly.
There is at least one lesson to learn here, though: do not transfer TopCashBack cashback to Clubcard until it is nearly at the end of a Clubcard quarter.

A number of people have had TopCashBack funds removed from their Clubcard account. This seems very wrong - Tesco is effectively taking real money away from you in this scenario, as you could have cashed out that TopCashBack money for real cash.
(Read this post if you are not familiar with how to earn Clubcard points - and thus very cheap Avios points - by transferring TopCashBack cashback to Tesco Clubcard.)
If you are considering moving TopCashBack money to Tesco, leave it until late in the quarter. If a great Tesco promotion comes along to earn Clubcard points very cheaply, you can fill up your account to 30,000 points that way and hold off from doing a TCB conversion until next quarter.
(You should, though, do a very small TopCashBack transfer to Tesco as soon as you can, since it starts the clock on the one year anniversary at which point the £50 cap resets.)
Even weirder, there are examples of Tesco taking away 'change' from Clubcard vouchers issued in a previous quarter! (If you redeem a £20 voucher for a £5 redemption, the £15 'change' is credited back to your account and reissued next time.) This seems even crazier, since these points were clearly originally earned in a different quarter.
It will take some time before the dust settles on this and we can be clear about what is going on. At the moment, though, go above 30,000 Clubcard points at your own risk

Just watched the ISS in my back garden, very bright, followed not long later by the HTV4, looked like it was chasing, well it probably was as it's due to dock with the ISS soon.

Cheers :beer: for all the info posted, later when it's darker i'm going to 'try' for a photograph. If I fail i'll have another go tomorrow night.
