Postage stamps don't count on money off vouchers. On the T&Cs on the back of the Tesco coupons, alcohol is listed under excluded items. Though it works if go through self scan or scan n go!  If you go through a manned till, you may get a little Hitler saying you can't use your coupon.

Is that a fair comment about a till assistant who is just doing their job by not allowing you to use a coupon on an item that is excluded?.

If the coupons mention alcohol is meant to be excluded - why do they scan at self scans which are accepted? Either remove the alcohol off the list of exceptions or do the blocking properly. Unless, not tried this myself that if your coupon was £8 off £40 and spend the full £40 on alcohol - the coupon will not be accepted at all on scan n go/self service.

The max I have spent on alcohol whilst using a coupon was £18 on a £10 off £50.

Tesco will get more money if they remove the alcohol exclusion listed on the reverse of the coupon as bet many have binned coupons when the looked at the exclusions if they struggle to hit the spend value without buying booze!

Maybe Tesco haven't realised that excluded items can be scanned at self-service tills.

I'm not talking about how coupons work or don't work.

My point was that your comment of "little Hitler" could be deemed offensive when someone - probably on minimum wage - was simply doing the job they are paid to do by following the rules they have been given.

I'm not sure what coupons you have, but in general Tesco Clubcard vouchers and coupons don't exclude alcohol (although they do exclude stamps, to get back to the OP), which may explain why the self-scan checkout lets it though.

From https://secure.tesco.com/clubcard/help/terms-and-conditions

• Excludes tobacco products, stamps, saving stamps, Cafe, lottery products, prescription medicines, infant formula milk, gift cards, travel money, and E top-ups. Other products may also be excluded at the discretion of Tesco.
• Age restrictions apply to certain product ranges.
• Members must be 18 years or over to purchase or receive alcohol.

It does say

In addition to the following, please also refer to your coupon as individual T&C's may apply. These terms and conditions are in addition to the Clubcard Terms and Conditions.
