I would assume that they seek authorisation from the store manager or head office.

I once was given a coffee whilst they did this…. lovely!

So all it does is just make the Store Manager take responsibility if anything is amiss, a case of buck passing. The Manager will likely just say 'accept it and get rid of the perishing customer' ! Could still be fraudulent. Might be better if they fixed their system the way T's did so that once the old style printed PP had been used, the till wouldn't accept it if anyone tried to re-use it. I seem to remember they only did that update after a few people (some used to be regulars on here but probably best not to start that off again!) kept re-using PPs time after time.

They appeared to have no problems sorting that out and , if T's can manage it then A's should be capable.

Stop swearing….. we do not want it to be fixed…. where would we go to have our fun!

Remember we take the hiccups… because we enjoy the fun and spending very little… x

Yes, I realise that - what I don't understand is how staff can check all this in the time they keep you hanging around at CS. They can't check cctv/times etc at mutiple stores in 10 or 15 minutes . I suspect that all they do when they take the receipt and APG away is run the details through the checker and see if the APG voucher you have given them matches the value that they get when they check the receipt themselves. It doesn't prove or disprove anything at all .

I would imagine that's all they can do at the time, I meant the voucher itself.

Sure somewhere their is a database with all the apgs that have been submitted in and that would flag up if the same number had gone through more than once and which stores times etc if not they should have

Well said dotmonster, these people on low incomes are probably already very scared that they might lose their jobs in today's climate without having to worry about dodgy people like us turning up with £10+ vouchers on £7 spends (cookies).

I am lucky that there are half a dozen lovely assistants in my local that will take anything I give them (including hopefully my 10 x £13.66 Pringles apgs).

Long live the apg..:D

We do not have any really obliging assistants I have two larger APG's and DH is being sent with them I got my pringles in 6's and was happy with the results but struggled to buy "muggle" shopping with them and never use the APG to buy the same item I check it right away but usually keep it three weeks then print it out then use near the end date Only forgot to use once

Def no other eliters in my sada last night
