Cinnamon Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I was reading the paper this morning & found a huge ad for Tesco,offering the new Harry Potter movie for £8 if you spend £30 in store. As I love Harry Potter & never seem to come out of Tesco without spending £80,I thought fab - I will buy it & we can watch it tonight while The Hubby is out being Masonic. So, bought it,got home & they hadn't taken the discount off So I phoned their customer services number & not only will I get my £6 refunded, but I will get double that as it was their mistake But, we went to put it on & the stoopid cashier forgot to take the security tag off, & there is NO getting into the box, AT ALL Hence I am here on the forum rather than in front of a good movie with a glass of red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Oh, At least you're a little more cash in hand than you expected and the wine lasts longer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 That is a very optomistic point of view Martin - thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 That's providing you are not sat in front of the computer on the forum and drinking wine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 No, I am eating a mini box of Heros, & eveyone knows chocolate & wine don't go together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prongs Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 you could always cut the box open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenlass Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Oh Cinnamon... I am sat here right now with a glass of white wine watching it....Hubby got ours from Amazon so no huge discount for us. Hope you get to watch yours soon after getting tag off.

Egluntyne Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 How infuriating Cinnamon. Maybe you will get a further discount when you take the box back....after all that was their mistake oto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Tried it Prongs, & Tesco say they will swap it if its damaged,which it now is in a big way. But there is no way I can get it out without scratching the disc. The red tag goes inside the box....its just impossible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Have a glass of wine instead and look forward to it tomorrow (although you may need to buy more chocolate) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prongs Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Is always a bit of a bummer when you sit down to watch a film and you realise you've already eaten the chocolate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Oh dear...it's not quite as bad as Tesco incompetencies go though! My sister's friend's friend was doing shopping for a client and he was told to buy a lot of champagne, (About half a dozen bottles) and he was served by this really useless lady, who couldn't remove the security tags and spend ages banging and bashing around with it. Before that she'd scanned all the other shopping items and he ended up not being charged for any of the champagne! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Tesco do have a good refund policy, we bought some photo paper buy one get one free each pack was £16 and when we got through the till we realised that we had been charged for both so went to customer services and they said because it was their mistake we would get the whole 32 refunded.
