My coupon-bashing in Tesco came to a sad end yesterday when the cashier on the till refused to take both of the coupons - I protested that I had been allowed to use both of them in the previous two weeks, but no!
If I wanted to use both, I had to spend £60. No chance! She was kind enough to give me back the £3 one and used the £6 one instead, and I also used the £2.59 till spit, and another one for 29p, so I still totalled £8.88 off the shop, but £11.88 would have been better!
In my own positive-outlook kind of way, I can be very grateful that it worked for two weeks out of the three that the vouchers covered, and also that I still had a good deal in the shop yesterday. I scored a huge pack of washing powder for a church fundraiser at half price too, so I was happy with that.
And you know what else? Double whammy today - it's Friday [yay!] and the YFG will be home tonight - I have missed her SO much.......
I had a set of 8 vouchers from sainsburys- all for items that I usually buy - and if I used 5 of them, I'd get an extra 100 nectar points. But the shop only had 4 of the 8 available. I went and explained at customer services- and she gave me the points anyway. Sometimes they will do it, sometimes they won't! I have to say, I have always found Sainsburys VERY good at over-riding the computer when they think it is being 'difficult'!!
ReplyDeleteI always find it difficult when from one cashier to another they treat coupons differently, even their own store coupons. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteevery cashier has their own agenda when it comes to coupons I find.
ReplyDeleteI found it amazing that your cashiers are allowed to sit down on the job. They have to stand all the time here in Canada and in the States.
@Gill - making them stand sounds harsh. I know that some of the cashiers in our local shops do prefer to stand, but I am not sure that standing makes anyone do the job more efficiently?
