To throw a wobbly at TESCOS checkout today because they would not let me buy

[NotanOtter]

12 boxes of malties!

I ask you??

Ahhh. Could you order them online next time?

pmsl at signs all over the store. I actually used to have to drive past Tesco on my way to Sainsburys. I refused to do my shopping there because I just can't stand them.

i have never seen a sign in ther eabout only buying 8 of anytthing

things like that make me see red. I'd have probably dumpoed the entire lot of shopping and told them to stick it

*now

I have never seen this sign

I loathe Tesco's and make every effort not to shop there

trinity, do bags of sugar! because they always have gazillions of them, so it would be ridiculous of them to say no

What about 8 Freddo Frogs, I'm sure I have bought 8 Freddo Frogs before???

i wonder if I try and buy a box of 12 eggs they'll ask me to put 4 back? lol

thisisyesterday very bizarrely i was properly LIVID

i can get very eloquent when livid and launched int o a soliloquy of how I my custom would from hereonin go elsewhere

sadly the checkout then splurted a really good money off voucher at me!

I've seen signs in supermarkets restricting people to x amounts of whatever product but only when it's been on discount.

Not everyday stuff.

I'd have asked to see the manager.

dp said he wnted to go in and buy 12 bottles of vintage Bolly and see what their policy said then

NotanOtter - goes in to buy 8, pays, puts them in the car and goes back in to buy some more

tanoy announcement

"Err can the lady who has just bough 8 packs of Malties please bypass that isle - you have had your quota today"

surely they don't have x-ray vision, who the hell would know if you bought some more, would be better just to let you get on with it and save on their queuing systems.

I am intrigued, why did you want 12 boxes? I'm not saying you shouldn't have been able to buy 12 but why 12?

oh I love Freddo Frogs!

Go to the self-service till next time

i had checkout supervisor and a duty person and checkout operator ALL observing whilst i ranted

the manager person is a mum at school

she has 6 children Amapoleon

That is sooo stupid! I can't believe that!

Well they had no problem selling me 18 sets of vampire fangs at Halloween...

That's bollocks. A few months back they had all their chemist stuff on half price and I bought about 10 boxes of half price Pregnacare tablets. No one batted an eyelid.

Have you got self service tills? How would they know if you bunged them through there?

so that's why I could not get any fangs Bibi

I thought the bulk buy policy was only on special offers! Didn't seem to apply to the store I work in when some guy bought 12 cases of beer. The store I worked in in England had loads of signage up about it, but can't say I saw any in the big Mahoosive Extra store I went in today.

Morrisons can't do it seeing as we bought 10 Fray Bentos pies the other week! I think our local Asda has signs up about bulk buying.

AMapolean - i have a lot of children

we also bought

6 boxes value meusli
4 boxes bran flakes
4 boxes weetabix
4 boxes teasco ready brek
4 bags porridge oats

oh and milk!

plus a dozen eggs and a celeriac!
