    When I printed the coupons they were very small so didn't scan at the SS checkout. SA said they didn't accept internet coupons even though it's from their own magazine! :mad: She said it was at the manager's 'discrepancy'! :rotfl:

    :rotfl:

    That reminds me of an attempted trouting I once had

    "we can't sell you these for 1p. They have to be taken away to be incarcerated"

    I popped into a teeny little boots after work. They had one very small shelf of sale stuff, and only a couple of things I wanted on there so I picked them up and spotted a Ghost perfume set- I remembered what someone said on here about them reducing those too so I asked the sa to scan it an she was adamant that the ghost set wasn't in the 70% sale. I asked her to scan it anyway ad hey presto, it was :j

    I've never seen an sa move so quickly! Either to grab it all for herself or take them off the shelf. She was that convinced that they weren't. Boots 0 QoC 1 :D

    wow, so they did actually fix it?

    Shame they don't employ the same IT team as Tosco. They would have probably "fixed" it and ended up owing us £5 each time :rotfl:

    This happened to someone yesterday as well so could still be worth a punt. Both vouchers scanned before they pressed pay and both showing on the receipt but only one fiver came off.
