    Don't worry aliesher you'll have many great shops to come. If he'd have spoken to me like that though I'd have either asked him to call a supervisor over or just ditched the entire shop. (not a great idea if you're trying to keep a low profile though!)

    Don't worry about having spent too much, just take it back and get a refund (could send OH back playing the dopey husband who bought the wrong things perhaps?).

    The silver lining is that now you know not to go to him again!!:D


    Thanks, I didnt think of taking it back, I will have to try again another day, I should have got him to get a supervisor but was so embarressed i didbt think of it till i had left the shop. next time i will. thanks for your support jonny

    I just had a really bad time in tesco, I went in to try for the first time using some vouchers, I had written a list a organised my coupons. I got my shopping all bogof s and some other stuff that I needed and went to the till, The lad on the till told me the coupons would not go through with out even trying them and when I pointed out the at least one of the should have worked he got really funny, and asked me really loudly where I got them all from as i should not have been able to get them. Customers were staring at me. I paid and got out really quickly. I was so looking forward to geting some stuff cheap coz we need it, instead I paid for it all and no OH is annoyed at what I spent. oh well. I hate Tesco now sob sob. Sorry for the rant everyone XXX

    Sorry this happened to you aliesher. If this happens again, ask to speak to the supervisor or manager. It's happened to me before and the whole shop heard the girl on the till refuse to take my vouchers. I was more angry than embarressed. The supervisor (a real jobsworth) and the manager came over. The manager told the girl to take 1 of each of my toilitery coupons. She would not let me use any other vouchers though, but In the end it was worth getting the manager involved, as the girl wasn't going to let me use as many coupons as the manager. Better luck next time :)

    We all get "bad" shops from time to time.. on Friday I had an sa who kept insisting I hadn't bought items and going "no, no" to every coupon and everything I said. As I had so few coupons allowed and she had refused so many Tesco coupons that should have been allowed, I did take them to CS and got refunded for them.

    By Friday night I hated Tesco and would cheerfully have shopped elsewhere for a while if there had been a viable alternative. Come Saturday night I was a much happier Tesco shopper.. :D and tonight I am happier still..[£25.94 off tonights shop] :D

    Take the ups with the downs and the swings with the roundabouts.. you'll almost certainly come out better over all..
