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 ?

Cunt in Spanish, Ferret...

newmum.... please understand that this site has been going for raaather a long time and to be honest we've seen it all, people pretending their babies are dying, people hoaxing about suicides, people saying all sorts of lies and bullshit often upsetting many people. Hence anyone even suspected of being a troll is given short shrift...

nice...

respectful and decent my arse.

Well quite. Thought it was rather ironic.

Newmum1812- since when is it respectful to call a group of people you don't seem to have met before an offensive word used to describe a ladies vagina? I think that perhaps you might be Kirk33.

Ha, ha at cono. WTF does that mean? I love it though.

Cono.

Innit.

Ooh it means cunt? I love that word. Am loving cono more, it might be my new best word.

Oh I am respectful - when respect is earned!! If not as you say Headfairy, I give short shrift too! You lot don't seem to find it difficult to be insulting - so I thought I'd go one lower to see what I got ..... at least give people a chance - thats what I find so astonishing - you did't give her a chance....and I DON'T blame you for being nasty about people who tell such appalling lies in posts, but seriously ... but perhaps don't be so quick to judge? I'll leave you lot to carry on - it is hilarious. I'm off to to errr... get with the lovin...

Oh I LOVE cono. :)

THanks for introducing me to a new insult.

Am also loving bye.com. Fantastic stuff!

Cuntox is another if you wanna take it to the next level....actually cono in spanish isn't that offensive, it's our translation that makes it offensive, the grandma's call their grandchildren it, as in they might say - 'you little toad come here' laughing...but translate it to English and everyone gets a face like a Scream mask! Its used on the news....

Oh piss off, will you? Your poor grammar and ridiculous attempts at being superior are getting rather dull now...

Anyone who is "aggrieved" that they can not spend "Boots the Chemist" points on formula milk, and who intends to tell their "coffee group" about it is fair game as far as I'm concerned.

Newmum, most of the longer standing mnetters have pretty good bullshit detectors, hence rapid abundance of s

And yes they are a hilarious bunch... s'why I come here.

Adios chicas! Disfruta tus vidas pequenas!!! xxx I'm G2G Baby!!

T'ra then love.

cono.

LOL at this thread.

yep, it's the law.

FWIW my DH works for Boots so we both get staff discount cards - and one of the few things you can't get discount on it formula.

Newmum1812 you've said goodbye about six times now

is formula not it formula.

clearly I should spend my Ad Card points on some kind of spelling toy :o

I think you can get Little Enstien's things that would be fab for that!
