So, errr, what do they do if you ain't got one??????

 

Farm shop I use wont accept card payments less than £5.

 

I misspell a letter of my name every time I give my email address to 'random people'.

 

Blast! One of my strings of 1970s lights has gone POOF! It is a short string (20 lights), but designed so if one bulb fails, they all go out. The problem is then you have no way of knowing which bulb, though as I don’t have replacements, that is a moot point. I’ve taken them down, as dead fairy lights are a bit depressing.

The other string has 40 bulbs … and if one goes, the other 39 soldier on! So …

 

They don’t give you a receipt, I guess. The person behind the till was very unpleasant about it. No matter. I have The Range and Home Bargains, so Dunelm can shove their digital receipts!

 

Do the two strings use the same bulbs? If so, perhaps you could take one out of the 40 set to replace the duff one in the 20 set.

 

@pete I already had a loyalty card for this and 2 other SMs but this is the main one. In a year of doing my weekly shop there I averaged 250 points/euros a year which we spend on the Xmas week shop. Since they moved the loyalty system to a phone app I can now choose products for advantage points and this year it was over 300. That is not to be sniffed at.

I expect other SMs here are similar but I use them infrequently .

 

If I've purchased something I think a receipt may be necessary for, I ask for one. I don't get a receipt in restaurants, when I buy petrol etc. No reason to need one. The information is on my bank statement.

 

I thought we were talking about purchases in general not just supermarkets.
