Tesco consider adding the points of discarded receipt as theft

Ok, I do think T are being a bit over the top. How many people on here would picky up a coin/ note if they found it in the street? It isn't very different - it belonged to someone else who has left it/ lost it.

Not a great comparison. A note/coin can be used by anyone. The clubcard points can only be redeemed by the original purchaser.

The OP can tell us what he likes. The Security guard can't. There are always two sides to every story.

Can a security guard really ban you?
I would have thought it was up to the store manager.
Do the guards actually work for Tesco or a contracted security company?
Is this just a wind-up thread?

OP needs to start shopping at Sainsbury.

I found a price match voucher for £7.37 left behind on one of the self service machines. I looked for the owner (no, honestly, I did), but they were long gone. The cashier was quite happy for me to use it on my own shopping.

Yes but I feel that the banning is a tad excessive. Only 2 points.

was 2 points worth the effort in the first place ?

Increasingly we see this "Tesco's lore" type of thing. It's not good for our society.

Why is Tesco enforcing their own rules not good for society?

Tell tesco if they don`t unban you, you`ll shop at Aldi and Lidl.

Well the op's going to have to shop somewhere else anyway, it's hardly a threat saying you'll shop at Aldi or Lidl lol!

:)Tesco Truro security guard considered that adding points from a receipt discarded in a trolley as 'theft' and banned me from store. There was no prior warning or anything. And it was for a measle 2 points. I'm considering to appeal. Think I have a case against them and how do you consider doing this?

Edit for detailed description:

I found a trolley in the trolley park with a receipt in it. It had 2 points on it. I went to the customer service with the discarded receipt to get the 2 points. And out swoop the security guard who claim it's' 'theft.' He took me to the back room and said that 2 points is considered the same offense as shop lifting and banned me.

So you are a shoplifter. You protest that you only stole a penny (or is it eight pence?). If you can't stand the time don't do the crime.

You are seriously complaining about being justly caught out? Crazy.
