hi all
not a very good bootsing trip! sa was snooty over exchanging the xfoliator even though (lovely!) no 7 sa said its ok! im sure i heard her arguing with the poor girl over it!! when she got back from talking to the no 7 sa, she kept repeating that i could have used the no 7 voucher on the exfoliator, but they'll do it this time bla bla, i said 'ok i understand' 3 times but she kept repeating it like i was 3 years old!:mad: the nice male sa was going to let me do it but she stuck her oar in! anyway got it in the end, exchanged it for herbal essences bogof, 3 x simple moisturiser for mum, (3 for 2 on all simple skincare) foam bath shapes for lo, (75p) toothpaste for lo and got no 7 post shave stuff for oh. i was too scared to use any extra points vouchers! so didnt chance the 250 points no 7 voucher! her face was like thunder because i had a no 7 voucher!!:rolleyes: wish id known she was gonna be awkward cos i wouldve got the no 7 hairspray and just paid 75p instead honestly it was like i was stealing money out of her pocket not just returning something!
didnt try the 17 offer because im skint! so these vouchers are up for grabs!
all vouchers from mag
250 points on no 7 skincare
100 points on oral b stages
50p off oral b stages (thanks for those broclo, decided not to use though as i didnt realise oral b stages toothpaste only came in fruit flavours)
p.s is it right you cant pay with points if youve used a no 7 voucher?

If you still have the No7 pointer I can use it. You inbox is full

Oh dear! Wasn't the dreaded store that 'shall not be named' in Staffordshire was it???

No....this one was in Portsmouth. I shan't be rushing to visit Portsmouth again.

Do these Boots SAs realise what they do (or, in this case, don't do;)) for tourism:rotfl:

Just remembered, I overheard a SA on the next till saying that the No7 GWP ends at the end of the month! Wonder if the shelves will be bare tomorrow. What do they usually do with all of the leftover GWP's?

No new mags in my local branch either. But they still had loads of the old ones left out!

Don't know...but there were loads in the store I was in earlier today. Would be interesting to know what they do with them all though.

Hi all,

Is it true that BOT store is full of evil hags unwilling to help in any way shape or form?

Many thanks,

Today shop I took 4 mags to the till. Asked the young SA to put 1 though on my AC & the others I'd use against purchases, just needed the 1st 100pt No7 coupon to start me off. She said only 1 per customer & I replied 'Oh no it's per transaction very innocently'. She said she thought not but did 1 anyway & then asked if she could do another to check so removed & reinserted AC & another mag went through fine so she said I'll do the other 2 whilst you're here.
I tore the coupons out knelt next to her till & went for the No7 mens skincare items. I took my items back to the same SA to pay

Sale 1
Face scrub mens No7: used 250 pts from GWP 100pts from mag £5 pinky No7 paid £1

Sale 2
Hair & body mens No7: as above

Having enough points for the No7 mirror, thanks to the 250pts from GWP I go to the No7 counter to enquire re the mirror. I say what is the cheapest clearance item as this is just 1p short of the £20 GWP & SA says nothing instore in sale. I say I might pop to another store & hope they have something to enable the sale. I then say I just bought 2 No7 mens skincare should have thought to have put them through with the mirror ( knowing as I wanted to pay for mirror with points I'd planned it that way )
Anyway she kindly says let me see what I can do, goes off to talk to manager, brief convo re the mens No7 & I get the nod so I get the mirror paid with points & the GWP.

That was longer than I'd anticipated.

The SA's are lovely, and they have an ACM.

Gunwharf Quays. I only went down there to call into the Paper Mill - never been before. Paper Mill was fab, SA was so helpful. Boots dead opposite. Quite small, limited stock, and miserable SA
