WENDYAK - so sorry to hear about your loss.

QOC - hope you manage to get your coat sorted.

Went to use an APG voucher with the JF today. Got trouted big style. I was accused of fraud and for printing out vouchers more than once because someone else who uses my store has been doing it and they had a voucher for £12+ too. !!!!!!! Made me stand there near CS for over half an hour. I thought I was going to get arrested. I was proper bricking it. A manager was called who eventually OK'd it and let me go.

How do you guys manage to use big APG's without drama? :(:(

Just done a bits 'n' pieces shop at Tosco; total came to £7.10 (after MOCs), I gave the SA seven £1 coins and a 20p piece, and I got back £1.10 in change:eek::D … is it wrong to take advantage of the numismatically and numerically challenged?

Has anyone had any nice vouchers from the cash machine recently?

Careful choice of CS and generally trying to keep vouchers below £10 so that they scan and just need authorising (as that way they generally pay less attenton to them - also choosing the younger or more chatty staff tends to get them through without issue) ... though I suspect we may be seeing more than our normal share of troutings over the next few days/weeks cashing in our Pringles APGs that are for more than the cost price :eek:.

Surprised face if they challenge it is also helpful - no idea how it came to that., must have been cheaper/on clearance in T/S/W/M, their APG system gave you the voucher ... etc. Best to say as little as possible and don't explain how the voucher is really coming to that value if a glitch (only explain if it is a good offer elsewhere that generated the APG as that again trains them up to expect higher value vouchers as "normal" without issue).

I got a shock last week when I actually received the Udi's, couldnt really say I didnt want them so Im stuck with them, tried one after a few drinks last week, and they are mighty sickly.
So my order tonight, do I buy in the chance that they are now stocking them or do I take a chance on them being OOS?

Buy them, tick no subs, you're unlikely to get them. Bonus :T

Do it online instead. Less hassle ooh, i feel for you. My store is very good. just point out that the receipt hasn't been signed/dated/ripped. Bunch of doofus heads

Yes probably ... I tend to point out errors like this (or when they try giving me the vouchers back after scanning - happened a couple of times :eek:) and tell them that their till will be out. I find that this approach may mean they are then recruited for any future "requirements."

Yes was HC store. Some idiot is making it hard for us to carry out legitimate business :rotfl: don't know how, but wish they would stop.

Hi,
OH has just been trouted in this store with a large but legit APG.
They refused to take it as the said its faulty.They said the amount back should show in the barcode, from what I know anything over £9:99 doesn't show on barcode, is this true?

3 questions please regarding Morrisons

Firstly are we still playing the Morrisons match and more game or has chocolate and pringles mania taken over :rotfl:

Also Ive got a few receipts dated prior to going AWOL to get match points added on - has anyone had any problems getting points added on for receipts that are slightly elderly?

Finally Ive got 2 extra points vouchers that came with the card to use, one is for a £15 spend so is there anything worth getting at the mo for getting both more and match points.
For the other points voucher I need to get 10 things - no problem, we are very adept at buying 10 things

Hello, I'm lurking and seen some posts I might have replied to earlier but didn't, anyhow. I shouldn't be back here again so soon:o:o.

The Coke Zero 4 pack multipack (of 4x1.5L). £5 each in M. Buying 3 of the multipacks (=£15!:D) should compare vs A at 3 for £10. Worked yesterday. £5 in match points and more points on this item too. No need for any fillers:j. Check your emails - some people have MOCs against Coke and may be cashback available as well! (We are being treated!:rotfl:) I notice T now 3 for £10 as well, so two chances for it to pick up correct pricing to compare to - lose £1 compared to waiting for APG to pick up T's pricing:rotfl: - T's price may not have updated on Match & More but should still be vs A at the same, so doesn't matter which one it's comparing to as long as it compares right.

Yes true - barcode only shows up to 999 as it only has room for 3 digits. £10 gives a price prompt for them to enter the voucher value (hence the comment above about trying to keep below £10 as it then misses a checking stage ).
