So what if the sets were all bought by staff, thanks to me reading this forum every set in the branch I work in was sold to staff, that meant that lots of people had gifts for cousin such and such and auntie so and so, just that same as all the non-SAs who bought them in every other branch!

I say good on the SA's...I mean retail work is hard going at times dealing with all the crabby customers! I always sat to my fave SA "Wanna serve me, wink wink" she then logs on a till and knows to see what I am doing, I know full well that she then tells all the SA's that are coupon friendly etc. I also told the SA's when the 90% sale was on and they had no signage and had not been told.

I personally...and I do not work in retail...think all SA's should be given the chance to buy clearance items etc before the customers amoungst other things.

I also find if you 'share' with your favourite SA's then they will not blink and eyelid when you do outrageous glitches like the recent med one.

True enough... as I've read that too! And i'm sure people do realise that SA's like bargains too, you are human aren't you...?!
Just commenting that my call alerted them on this instance to them all, so ironically I found them their bargains today...! :cool:

Same thing happened with me when the S&G sets were reduced. SA's didn't know until I asked for a price check so were pleasantly surprised themselves. They were also pleased to find out the the mini frizz ease serum went through with the £2 haircare till spit.

They were all puzzled as to how I knew about these though LOL. Had to say "a friend" told me

I'm a SA myself (not with Boots though) so know only too well what it's like.

Hiya, I'm new to this, so I hope you guys can help me out ;o)

I have a voucher for 500 points whne you spend £10 on baby products.
I would like to buy some wipes, and they are on BOGOF. Will I get the points, even if I only part with £5 after the BOGOF has been deducted, or do I have to actually hand over £10, before I get the points ?

Hope this Q makes sence ;o)

Thanks ;o)

I like to share glitches with the SA's too (did with the med glitch on Sat) and I agree that there's no way we'd get some of the things we get without their 'co-operation' if you will. I even asked her on Sat if she wanted me to grab a bag for her. Cos if they're happy, we're happy..

PS I will change my old post wording now as it may offend without meaning too. Thanks for the point out orlaith xx

My local Boots doesn't stock the mediteranean soaps, so there were no coupons for them in that Boots.
When I went to Oxford at the weekend, I managed to stop at the Boots in the retail park to look. Sure enough, I had two coupons on the machine! Unfortunately, there were no soaps on the shelves, and when I asked the assistant, she said they didn't have any out the back either. She said she knew which item I was going to ask her about! :rolleyes:

Saw someone tall and slim standing in front of the med stand texting... was that anyone from here, perhaps? Would have been about 1:30 pm.

If anyone would like to swap for my coupons, I'm open to suggestions! I didn't manage to get any of the S&G sets, hatboxes, MF boxes or nail sets, and since I have exams next week and the week after I doubt I'll manage to go Bootsing at all until after exams!

(I live in Wiltshire now, but still get post at college in Oxford too)

I'm sorry for going off on one, it's just something that really irritates me as I'm the first to point out offers to customers (after I've gotten mine of course;) lol) like I served a girl buying the new venus breeze razor, so I pointed out that she could get the razor and pack of blades for the cheaper than the blades on their own lol

Not a problem at all, I can handle it :D Plus you're quite right on this one, SA's (especially nice ones ) of course deserve bargains too... You've always been very helpful to us on here just as you seem instore to your customers. Oh yeah, and i got that razor pack today too! lol

I'm on the "wow report" in work (the board where the £1000 survey results are posted to). The comment said that I was extremely pleasant and helpful, not only to the person I served but to everyone I served before them. And I apparently have a beautiful smile. Lol I was well chuffed

Has anyone had a new survey yet? They're daily rather than weekly now.

Oh well done

I've never had a survey, which is odd considering Boots can be a daily habit, wish I had though as the particular SA I was talking about is a complete gem even when I am being a pain or it is chaos on saturday etc
