Can I ask a SA to price check something at a till? the hat boxes have been £9 in worcester for weeks and I want to know if they've been reduced.

Yep, I've done this loads of times but I don't bother if it's too busy and they've got queues because I don't want to be a nuisance. They can also price check stuff at the photo counter.

Thankyou, will do just that tomorrow

I got the Botanics 3 minute mask too and was surprised it was included in the 2 for £5.00 as its £4.99 for one!
My 250 pts wouldn't go on either,SA said "oh you have to buy 3!"
I just said oh well never mind.
But now I can't find my voucher ,I don't think she gave me it back!
Does anyone have a voucher to check?

I served a lady buying one, I pointed out she could get another for 1p but the voucher wouldn't scan so I added the points manually after.

You actually do better when they put the points on manually as you wouldn't usually get the "normal" spend points!

I've been told to deduct the normal points from the offer points. eg on the £5 spend for conditioner I only added 230 points...

Also got 2 Expert tins
First one with 2 x Lip Protections £1.59 each
Second with 1x lip protector and a half price facial spritz ( with voucher from ACM)
Now I am reading that the tins may go through without a purchase:rolleyes:

Also got No7 tinted moisturiser @£4.75 and 342.

Hi dotchas, I have the voucher in front of me and can see why SA thought you had to buy 3. It says 250 points WYB 3 minute deep conditioning hair mask. So she obviously thought you had to buy 3 items as opposed to 1 x 3 minute mask:rotfl:

Could you go back to store with receipt and print off another AC voucher and have the points added on?

TBH in this case it's best to phone CS as instore if someone comes to us with a voucher for a product they have already bought we have to tell them that all vouchers are subject to availability and must be redeemed at time of purchase.

I'm 99% sure that CS will add the points tho as opposed to 1% sure that someone instore will (just to save any hassle and arguing/stress)
