    Morning all

    DD safely deposited at nursery so OH and I are away out for a date morning. Doesn't quite have the same ring as date night but anyways we'll take it!

    Said I'd give him the morning off from making breakfast. His reaction was :eek: you're going to make breakfast?? Then it dawned on him that I was going to take him out :rotfl: :rotfl:

    :wave: for now

    Your DD sounds like a form of currency. Did you put it in your current or savings account?

    Hello all

    I know this happens to a lot of people about not getting T's DTD, so I thought I'd share my first time of "having the DTD battle".

    I walked into an T Express, and picked up coffee that was marked BOGOF. After paying, I noticed the offer didn't come off. Asked a member of staff who went to fetch the manager. I showed him the SEL and then followed him to the till.

    I had thought he was doing DTD because he refunded the full amount paid, but when I went to put the items in my bag, he said "no I offered you a refund" (without actually asking me!). I said I thought you were honouring DTD? He firstly said I can only do it on fresh fruit & veg, not on coffee. And I said, no, that's the national policy and pointed it out. Luckily it was right in front of me, stickered to the till!. Then he said it would make my till short?? I insisted that it is national policy and said "As a manager you should be following the policy". He didn't move, but I stood firm. He insisted that he could not do that for me.

    We got to the stage where I thought I'm not going to get anywhere with this guy, and asked for the HO number - he gave me the store number instead! I took his name and later called the proper HO number. James, I think his name was, said yes you are absolutely correct, it applies also to promotional offers. He asked me for how much I had spent and without hesitation offered a £10 Moneycard :j :j All sorted within 3 minutes! He said Tesco would pass on the message about the DTD policy to the staff. Very happy that I didn't back down and in the end I am still winning - a total spend of 0.96 (after the RF), 6 CCP and a tenner to spend for next time. I've learnt not to give in when you know you are right, just keep your cool, be polite and firm and keep hammering the national policy to them. You may not succeed at store level, but you probably will at HO level!

    Opinions please - was it right/rude to say "As a manager you should be following the policy" ?

    Thanks guys x

    No I don t think it was rude.
