Tis the season to be wombling - Tesco & Sainsbury's

Zedkay

Grow up, people. What really got me was this:

'Out of curiosity, does anyone know if this means that the receipt cannot be scanned again for points by another CS person?'

In other words, how many times can I cheat Tesco out of points? It's pathetic enough that you're scrabbling around on the floor picking 'em up, but that you're thinking in terms of compounding it by taking them back twice or three times. Sheesh!

As for Tesco's own appalling record, well all I can say is, two wrongs don't make a right. Where's your self respect?

Be nice to all moneysavers. Calling them pathetic, telling them to grow up and accusing them of a lack of self respect is hardly in the spirit of things is it? I'm not quite sure why you need to make personal comments in order to explain your point of view. You could quite simply say "I don't agree with doing this, I think that it is morally wrong because of x,y,x" but instead of putting forward a well thought out counter argument you just insult people.

What do you do with the discarded receipts that have a clubcard number on?

You'll never make a detective jumping to wrong conclusions in an instance and passing your condemnation on others so quickly.

I posed the question to gather constructive comment from others as I was curious what the position would be if you took a receipt to CS where someone had already claimed back the points.

For information, the receipts where points haven't been added have a barcode at the bottom. This is scanned to add points but I am unsure what information it brings up ie. points previously claimed, transaction details etc.

May I reccommend you add this to your Christmas list, be quick though:-

Fortunately, most MSEr's are liked minded people with interesting comment to contribute. They ain't thieves and vagabonds.

Put them in the bin. Keeps Britain tidy and saves others bending over to to find a receipt with points already claimed!

Always fancied a bit of mystery shopping perhaps my vocation is more mystery litter picking!

Convinced? I am. (NOT!) Like I said, pathetic.

I don't use a clubcard, they only have them so they know who lives where and what person buys what. Proper big brother stuff. If you are going to use one though you might as well take advantage of them.

If Mr T is gonna contribute towards my next holiday, I'll gladly let him know what brand of toothpaste I buy. I gladly do a bit of wombling from time to time....every little helps after all

I'm really not sure about the legality of this. I would avoid doing it until it is confirmed to be legal... My first reaction (as a police employee but not a bobby) is that it could be classed as theft or deception of some kind. I just wouldn't risk it really.

It isn't something that sits well with me morally - but then I was bought up to be absolutely honest at all times. I would never be comfy claiming something that wasn't mine or that I wasn't entitled to.

At the end of the day, you alone have to live with the consequences of what you do.

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
