:rotfl:I went to A for the fish a lot earlier, fortunately, but that shop was now done more than 3 hours ago!
But you're right - I don't know which direction to go in. My nearest T did not stock Zero Coke:( - or at least it pretended it didn't (maybe they'd pulled it all off the shelves for all I know), so I had to drive all the way back to go to the T in the other direction:mad: that's slightly farther away. These glitches are addictive:rotfl: - and I must be mad as we've had snow:( so was travelling very slowly indeed - probably put paid to much tomorrow or any prospect of going anywhere at all (much the reason why I didn't want to go to the city centre store in the first place) but the other Extra unfortunately is the smaller one. But I found them - guy on the SS was the main guy that knew me from DTD price check (where we were getting vouchers of the value of our shop, sometimes more) and I think, secretly, he's on my side - it's the nasty woman supervisor who isn't (that had to approve the vouchers way back in the past - I had a right run-in with her one stage, where she cancelled the whole shop and put it all back into the shelf - legally you are not entitled to do that!!:mad::mad: - the store scanned it and accepted my offer to buy - they were obliged to sell and I was obliged to pay - but she went and had put it all back, including the cooked meat in some unknown place in the shelf - no, that's not good enough, it's that specific, exact pack that I have agreed to buy and is legally mine on payment and no other replacement from the same shelf will do as I didn't buy another pack of exactly the same product that I didn't pick up - anyway she had still done it, put everything back and they didn't require me to pay - probably because they (via she) didn't want to sell it to me because she refused to accept my valid voucher - but a legally binding contract had been formed - the moment it had been scanned by the SA - to sell it to me and she was not entitled to do that - nonetheless she did and that was that - I ended empty-handed until I could spend the voucher on another shop somewhere else without her formality requirements that no other Mr T store was imposing).
Anyway, tonight, I felt like I was shoplifting:rotfl::rotfl:, even though I paid the full requested bill for the goods. Amazingly, I put a two of pound coins into the machine -as if the guy, who wasn't right at the SS then but was close enough, had not seen how little I paid for what I was buying. He'd been helping me each time the SS thought the items hadn't been bagged. So I put the coins in - just a couple of coins - no notes for all that lot! - and the till gave me change - and then I spent ages:mad::mad: getting the boxes of Coke, one by one, into the trolley and no-one stopped me and no-one said anything. I left the SS, felt like as if they were going to call security or the police as I left the store exit. I bet someone was amazed at what I'd paid! I just looked back round from my car, whilst loading stuff in - I'd parked near the store entrance as I could on this occasion - and saw people milling around as if they were looking at me (in truth they were probably just drunks near the store entrance - bearing in mind I can't really tell if people are looking at me - they probably weren't - and wouldn't know what they were thinking anyway) and I felt like someone would come out and say "hey what are you doing?". Fortunately, no-one ever did and I'm safely home!:D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::T
I like it - it's the fully legal way of getting goods for, well, in the case of large packs of Coke, it seems like virtually nowt.0
