NOT permitted to use Boots points for milk

[kirk33]

I am currently extremely upset with Boots the chemist.
I am a working mother and my husband stays at home to look after our 5 month old son.
My husband has just been told at Boots that we can NOT use our Boots points to buy the formula milk we feed our son !.
Apparently its company policy as they do not want to be seen to be promoting non breast feeding !!!!!!!!
This policy applies to all the formula even milk designed for older babys.
This policy is not advertised or displayed in store anywhere. As a customer who regularly spends a fortune in Boots the points seemed like a nice bonus, saving up for a rainy day !, i feel very aggrieved that i cannot use them against things we need. They advertise that they are parent and baby friendly but this seems very anti parent to me.
What if my husband were a lone parent ?. He would not be able to breast feed anyway.
My husband and I will no longer be shopping at Boots for any products and He will be informing the other parents in his coffee group about this situation.
Does anyone else feel we should be able to use the points on products we need ?

Im the moderator here and im banning the lot of ya.

Big red button

The one with the X?

Ah yes see it now...

Can this go into classics? Please?

Oh, and I can have the number for these loose men? Or at least a bottle of wine... Cheers.

Call me old fashioned but happened to you lot to become so venomous?? I had to look at your comments to see if you would really be so spiteful to a newcomer - clearly you all need to 'Have a coke, have a smile' rather than whatever you are drinking! for you younger 'ladies' that's old Coca Cola advertising - it works for me - its all about a smile - you miserable bunch ...... Be nice - or your little darlings will grow up to be just like you!! LMFAO BYE.COM conos

KIRK33 - I'd leave this site if I were you - if its unmoderated - whats acceptable??? Racism?

weren't you going?

What the hell are you on about?

Ah, see, there's the problem. It's not in fact 1812, I don't take coke of any kind and I can be as crude as I damn well like when I'm talking to you. My children hear only sweet nothings from my lips, naturally. I save my venom for tossers like you.

Holidays are coming...
holidays are coming...

..always coca cola!

Genuine question - does using thousands of question marks equate to asking more of a question? This is not just any question, this is an uber query.

Really, does it????

No really?????????

Yes pooka!!!!!!!!!!!! Didn't you know that????????????

NewMum1812, you strike me as the sort of person who'd be better suited to netmums or babycentre. They love question marks at babycentre.

Bugger baby milk, I am using my points for Clarins!

Its perfectly clear in Boots that you cant use the points for formula milk. You can use any vouchers and promotional thingies in any shops. They dont make a secret of it.

No way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the OP has used the name Kirk because she's on another planet most of the time

I have redeemed points earned through buying a ton of nappies on those booze gift packs at Christmas. Does that make me an unfit mother,

Way!!!!!!!!

BooBooGlass you not no class! I'm not a tosser - I just got brought up to be respectful and a decent human being - good luck - you're gonna need it with a shitey attitude - cono

I was having a really shit day, this has cheered me up no end.

NewMum1812 (if you are in fact real and not a troll) I think you'd find if the OP had been about being at wits end from a baby crying, people would have been very supportive and sympathetic.

We save our sympathy for them that deserves it, doncha know.

Ooo look, you rhymed my name. Very clever.

Cono yourself.

What the feck does cono mean?
