:mad: What an absolute waste of an evening. I spent over an hour instore, mostly at the till, trying unsuccessfully to buy Stella Cidre as the new tills did not price prompt to enter the voucher value and the CS got into a pickle trying to solve it. Shop abandoned as it disappeared off the apps while trying to checkoutt .

Serves me right for even bothering trying to get Cider - I don't even particularly like cider!!

Heading home ... for a lager :cool:

puzzled, could you then just buy 1 sun 40p its then free. so no cost at all.

I think they mean the cost on the other items apart from the "free" Sun itself.

I don't think they mean to give you the Sun free. If it is no cost at all, works out as free, then the Sun (that you've not then even "bought" but would have got for free, given it rather than buying it) would be free and thus you've not spent the 40p to qualify for the free Sun. I imagine. I don't think they intend to give away Suns for free when nothing is being bought. The cost of a free Sun is free - not, sadly, 40p and therefore you can actually have it for free having qualified for the offer.

But then, I suppose, if it doesn't qualify. Then it's 40p. So you have paid 40p and then it would be free, immediately qualifying? I'm sure there's some get-out. I understand you like to get everything for no cost at all:rotfl::rotfl:. (So do I!)

I was wondering, perhaps it is a similar thing, earlier - about what now happens, instore, regarding DTD in its relationship with the TBG? I noticed, on msm again, earlier that T's shelf price - irrelevantly as anyone buying properly would still keep buying them in a Morries comp shop and thus pay Morries still same cheaper price which is still (at the moment) continuing - makes no odds if the price on the shelf changes up or down as long as it doesn't beat M's price - some of the Quorn 500g/520g products, including for example the Quorn Mince have gone up from £1.50 in T to £2.79. What if you get the SEL still saying £1.50? But presumably you pay £1.47 as Morries price (in your comp.). Do they count the £2.79 as being an overcharge even if, they could say, you weren't overcharged as you paid the cheaper competitor price anyway?

I suspect, however, maybe I am looking too in depth on this that they never would. It comes off as an "mbuy saving" code on your shop and original full price is still showing. Of course I saw that the till was going to give the "deduction" on my shop tonight. I asked the SA if the addition of the two branded items - I'd left them right until the end - would add £1.09 to the bill and I was comparing against another place. Of course, this confused them slightly:rotfl:. I just saw "£1.50 discount", after they'd scanned both, on the indicator though and immediately said - "that's what we want, fine" and then no problem.

(Had they failed, I would have been rejecting about five items:rotfl::rotfl: and paying them much less. So, if the system fails with other people generally they end up, quite likely, unknowingly being overcharged - whereas if it fails with us, they get 'punished' for their failure of their system be us buying even less from them than we would have been about to buy - and paying them less than we would have done:T:T!) I don't think store staff generally (in any store whether T, S or A) understand how we shop or the way in which we get these deductions/vouchers. However, I have more confidence now that the TBG will work every time!:rotfl:

its new to me so wanted more detail,eg the cost of the free paper in waities COUNTS towards the spend. but the spend in waities is £5 where as op said spend only has to be 40p (different shop i know) so again im puzzled

[STRIKE]also the £2.40 to pay has confused me. 11 suns would be £4.40[/STRIKE]
miss read a little word in post, i read "of" and it said "for"

2nd edit,hurry up, i can see your modifying post

Tthey could not get the till to accept the vouchers so short of paying the full price, there no point.

I will try in a different store tomorrow with someone who knows how their till works. I did try suggesting how they could enter the vouchers manually but they were having non of it .
