    Sorry for going on!
    Hope everyone is doing okay. :A

    Lots of us have had similar treatment by Boots staff. I once had (from orange-faced no7 woman of a similar age to me):

    "well if you can't afford it, dear, you really shouldn't be looking at this range of make-up" It's funny now, but was anything but at the time, and CS said I must have been mistaken.

    Becky1236 - I would write and complain, that's terrible customer service! Did you get her name?

    Do the ACM vouchers not have a valid until date on?

    Soz to here that Becky1236 - that SA sounds horrid!
    "Buy me, Lady", said the frock, "and I will make you into a BEAUTIFUL & WHOLE & COMPLETE human being".
    "Do not be silly", said the Man, "for a frock alone cannot do that".
    "True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".

    For not using valid vouchers?!
    Even though it saying valid until 17(?)th July...
    But it does say on the back of the ACM vouchers.. to be used on the date of printing.. which i didn't know, but she ''''kindly'''' pointed that out :mad: lol.

    Hiii all....
    I hardly ever come on here now!
    But yeah, i went to boots yesterday, and was buying a few goodies and using vouchers etc... And just my luck i get the most miseriable SA you could have. Anyway, i went to do the UG glitch.. she said i couldn't because it wasnt a styling product (even though it was) so i was like fair enough... I put another UG product through and used both the ACM and the till spit (no bleeps), then she stared at the voucher and was like 'you can't use the (ACM) voucher as you didnt print it off today'.. I was like.. urmmm yes you can, i have never had a problem with it before? She then shouted 'IM GOING TO TALK TO THE MANAGER'. 10 mins later and she came back 'I knew i was right, look.. it says here'.
    It did actually say that on the back.
    I was starting to get annoyed as she was saying it in such a rude way, i just really couldn't be bothered to handle it.
    So i said 'oh, i dont want any of the items then'
    'THERE ALL WEREN'T ALL GONNA BE USED WITH VOUCHERS, WERE THEY?!'
    Evem more embrassment lol.
    'Well, im gonna just go to a different store' anyway
    'I need to take those all those vouchers off you' :eek:
    'Err, no.. I can keep them if i like'
    'Well, you get your card convercated (can't spell that word LOL) then'
    'Thats up to me' :angry:
    'Well, i will just look up your card on the computer anyway'
    So, i just walked out... feeling really embrassed and feeling a bit 'abused' in a way iynwim.
    I know it doesn't sound that bad.. but it was how she was saying it etc.
    She was like threating me that she was gonna report me? :mad:

    I did report her and they said they are gonna ring me back, but it just feels like boots isn't worth it anymore iynwim. It has really put me off.

    Hi Becky

    I have not been on too much in the last month and feel a bit guilty but I needed to stop doing so much Bootsing!!!

    I think that was a terrible way to speak to you! I do hope they come back to you with an apology. I am quite assertive but get annoyed and upset when things like that happen to me. I had a very bad experience in a TK Maxx a few months ago with a horrid girl and I dont shop there nearly as much as I used to, so Boots will be the losers at the end of the day unless they try and make you feel better about it.

    Wee K
    Money is only of any use if you can spend it!:cool:

    it actually says ' to be used on the date specified overleaf ' .Not sure whether that means the date printed or the date it expires. I have never had a date checked , even when the SA has seen me delving in to the depths of my bag for vouchers !
  • ok i know this is not boots realed, but i was thinking about penpals, i used to have a few when i was a kid, and i loved writing letters. Since im not working anymore, i have a lot of time on my hands, so i would love to get back into writing letters again. Would anyone wanna be penpals? and maybe share vouchers or whatever? i just love getting letters in the post!! if you fancy it then just send me a pm. :) hugs xxx
