Everyone Loves Inacurate Transactions Everyday, (as long as they are in our favour)

Interestingly, the person in front of me yesterday who had picked up their order had ordered 6 of these, and was rejecting them as hadn't been given all the same design. Took ages to do, and I was stood there wondering what the deal was, as thought it very odd someone would order 6 very expensive toothbrushes in a click and collect order, with not much other shopping. :eek:

And now you know why!

Others still work, look at M0rries website under foxs biscuits and they still show as 500 points

I have just come back from Morries and although the website still shows 500 more points, they have taken the signage down but unlike others are reporting the offer of MORE points no longer works. Ironically the only ones still working are the Jam & Cream Jammy dodger type, which was never meant to be in the promotion according to website.
The Ginger Crunch CREAMS never worked for MORE points either.
I asked them how come the website is still showing the promo if they have ended it early. Customer Service seemed to think the website does not have to reflect the stores. A store Manager can override any promotion as he/she choses.
The Jam & Cream that worked have probably been missed off withdrawing them (for now) because they never showed on the website as having 500 More points. All Match points were still showing correctly

Maybe not popular but I just say what others are thinking? it's fine to be giving stuff to the food banks and I'm sure they welcome it......but has anyone ever stopped to think how utterly condescending they sound?? I have free biscuits.....I won't eat them so I'll give them to the food bank. Seriously folks, if you have been involved with the people who really need food banks ( not the ones that take the !!!!) you wouldn't dare be so condescending :-( why should someone be grateful for 'fillers' that you wouldn't dare eat yourself?
this has bugged me lately. in my experience food bank users are no better or worse than us. they are people who have fallen on hard times. Could be you or I? so why do they deserve the stuff that isn't good enough for you?

I haven't noticed this at all FC:o

Is it not just a case that people are saying what they are doing that day. I'm off to the gym, I'm visiting mum........I'm off to the foodbank. I would guess that we are fairly unrepresentative of the population as a whole. We are the recyclers, the make do and menders, the campaigners......those with a social concsience:) lots of us are givers I think:)
And we are a broad church, diverse as a rainbow:) Some talk about candy crush, weight loss, frugality, cakes:o....me and PD:rotfl: I must get on people's nerves :rotfl: but I think there's space for all of us.

And to answer aau's point.

As a frequent foodbank user my heart lifts when I see goodies inside. At Christmas, there were advent calendars and chocolates where there were children in the family.
I once took a carrier to a family and Dad turned to me to ask what the bag of porridge oats was. His partner told him it was rice.:o so biscuits are fab.....as is soup......both are even better:T:T

♥ Thanks for the support Llovelies, unfortunately matters escalated to nasty texts as I was walking to work

Obviously couldn't deal with the problem but just crumbled in a sobbing heap at work :o:o

Luckily Fourp came in & said sorry over the counter ♥ But my Boss who is a different religion & sees death a 'different' way called him over & offered his 'wisdom' which did not help one iota :mad:

I'm trying to be strong & supportive but until I walk in his shoes I can't comprehend his mind set & torment.

He says he is going back to Mrs Fourp tomorrow - It's his birthday on Thursday & I've had a cake ordered especially & planned a nice day out ....

Do I tell him I have birthday plans?

dilemma

Or just let him go?

I think you have to let him go Snap, a birthday can be celebrated any time, but if you stop him going and something happens then he may never forgive you xx

Sorry snap.

No advice really, can you maybe just ask him what he would rather do (not necessarily saying about your plans), as he may just want to be with Mrs fourp, or alternatively he might welcome a day away from the stress of it? Really hard to know.

The only thing that annoys me is I can't have a slice of your cake:D
