    Thought this was funny. Just in M in the biscuit aisle, guy in a shirt and tie with a clip board making notes as he was walking along the shelves. He stopped and stood next to me as I was choosing my biscuits. I asked him if he had anymore of the crinkle butter.

    Him - "no but we have had to put an order in for the fox's, we seem to have had a run on them, we have more coming in tomorrow. It's strange they weren't moving much at first and now we can't sell enough" :eek:
    Me biting my cheek trying not to laugh - "really, well maybe it has something to do with the 500 points offer on them"
    Him - "yes these points offers are great, if you buy 10 that's equivalent to £5. I like these points deals, gives a bit of variety to shopping"
    Me under my breath oh pleeeeease- "yes the points do add up"
    Him - "I see you're buying quite a few"
    Me - "yes I run the tea club at work" (Pinocchio nose at this point)
    Him - "well you may as well earn something for yourself from getting them, after all you've had to come and buy them"

    I was wondering how T's chose which ones to shut;)I suppose it could be a number of reasons.I am pleased it is not the one my dear friends Sister works in as I know she does not like change bless her and would find it difficult to settle in a new job but feel for the peeps about to lose their jobs in this climate:(

    Right. It's still windy and raining here so I've decided against going out for another biscuit shop. I will have to hope it's still going tomorrow when I actually do have to go out.

    So, I'll stick the kettle on. Anyone for a cuppa? :coffee: :)

    Hi guys,

    I am just wondering if I'm getting the hang of this or not :D
    So, assuming I work my shop so the whole thing is not 10% cheaper than Morrisons, it will calculate the amount I get back for items that are included in the APG?

    From the list on the first page, for example,
    Fairy Non Biological Laundry Liquid - 40 Washes (2L)£6.00 £6.00

    Does this mean I would get £5.40 back for that item?

    And is the big list on the first page of items that are always in the APG?

    Sorry for being such a newbie :o

    If you had invested just $1000 in 1997 in Apple shares, you would now have shares worth $32,949. Not bad for 18Years - averaging over 20% return annually (plus your dividend)

    Good morning all
    Collect 1,000 Nectar points with Argos
    Anyone had their points? I checked my balance online this morning and couldn't see them, so I clicked on the Contact Us (from the bottom of the email) and raised a query - should get a response within 24 hours so they tell me!

    I've had this reply to my query
    "There is a slight delay in adding the points for this promotion. Please wait for 24 hours and the points will be credited to your account."
