Just when you thought an SA couldn't surprise you.....

I was in Morries today and the SA refused to put my shopping through :eek:

Why? Was i paying with coupons? Was i caught wombling? Was i wearing my finest string vest and swigging from a can of Tennents Super?

No. It was because i wouldn't let her scan my m&m card. :huh:

I was spending less than £15 so didn't qualify for Match points, nothing was offering More points so why would i want/need to scan it? She couldn't grasp that and said that "it's not worth my job, you have to let me scan it. My manager says so"

She was adamant and a manager had to be called over to give her permission! He also couldn't understand why i refused. I just said there was absolutely zero benefit to me on this occasion because it's NOT a loyalty card :cool:

There was a time this would have frustrated me and led to a complaint but it was just so ludicrous I actually found it quite entertaining. (The folks behind me in the queue weren't so amused )

Sorry to hear about your burglary it's ok to be upset. It's a truly horrible feeling that someone has been in your personal space, touching your belongings and that your safety coukd be at risk. It happened to me years ago and Id hate to ever have that feeling again.
Is it worth asking the local police for advice about security? Some forces have dedicated officers that can give you advice on measures to take that might not cost you a fortune. Maybe things that you wouldn't necessarily think of. It's worth asking

Thanksfor your reply. When we had the attempted we followed everything we could that didnt cost too much. When we were out we had lights on, music on and a fake TV on upstairs. The Police have advised us to get an alarm. We are lucky, we have good neighbours so I think they wouldnt just ignore it. So going to have to bite the bullet and get an alarm.

Ooo, a fake TV, that sounds like a good idea, is it a sort of light that looks like a TV from outside? I neeeed one of those (if they are cheap!)

But you might have got a till spit :eek: I got a till spit for money off coffee Id bought on a previous shop when I bought an apple to get my vouchers .......the shop I wanted to use the vouchers on was on the belt behind the apple.
They are obviously going down Ts route of harvesting details about what you buy. I've had a few till spits now, all for items I've bought in previous shops

But with you always buying an apple to get your tillspit, you will eventually just get spits for apples, and then you would have to buy your apples second, and what would you buy first then??? :eek:

I don't always use apples. I once got adventurous and used a banana. If I have a child with me I use a chocolate bribe
