    Half term indeed..
    As soon as you saw your husband sticking the stickers over things you should have immediately left the shop if you didn't want to be involved.
    As you didn't it's pretty much aiding and abetting.

    Is it really that much of a big deal to not shop in Tesco again.

    I guess it depends how convenient Tesco is for the OP and what other options she has.

    Tesco isn't my favourite place to shop but I can walk to my nearest Tesco Extra and get a bus home almost to my door.
    Very handy as we tend to do a big shop for heavy stuff & I can pop up with my trolley for anything else I need.

    So it would be a big deal if they banned me.
    Although if my OH had been so stupid as to try to put extra 'reduced' labels on anything, I'd have chopped his bloody fingers off! :D

    I find it hard to believe someone who's been ripping a store off , then thinks it's reasonable to say " I think you've overcharged here" , and can't understand why that would still in the managers gullet? I'd have banned you for ever after that, not just a year.;)

    The OP says she wasn't aware that Tesco had also banned her.

    She also said that when she was sat in the car a supervisor came out to tell her her OH was in the office.
    So if she was also in trouble for what her OH did, why didn't they insist she went back into the store to take the flak too?

    I think when the OP refers to 'a year's ban' she doesn't mean the lengthy of the ban but the time that's passed since her OH was banned.

    He sounds a right charmer

    Of course, one could ask where he managed to get hold of some unused 'reduced' stickers......

    It's mine. :D
    I doubt a Stagecoach bus driver would allow me on with a Tesco trolley. ;)

    I can understand she didn't knows she was banned, , but she should have kept her head down.When I referred to " ripping off a store" I was referring to her partners actions while she was present,
    In this situation, a relatively small incident, it's a lot of fuss to ask the second person to come back into the shop, but the shop could have easily said for example that she was using her body to block people's view of what he was doing, and that would be aiding.
    Yes, it's been a long time so I can to some degree understand her confusion.

    so my husband parked in carpark

    If you are banned that normally includes the car park. When I worked in retail as a spotty yoof, we would refuse to serve the whole group who turned up with someone who was banned.

    Otherwise you end up with the ridiculous situation where someone who is banned has products purchased for him by his friends and then start arguing for refunds.

    And, from personal experience, Stagecoach bus drivers can be incredibly grumpy at the best of times :D

    Second this advice, just move on Scooby and shop elsewhere.

    And hope they don't operate a joint scheme like most of the stores here do, although I think they only share info on convicted shoplifters/fraudsters, not "known associates"
