Had a milk token issue yesterday GRRR

so i got some of those healthy start vouchers through was like, GREAT EXTRA FORMULA FOR THESE TWO AND SOME FRESH FRUIT ETC
or so i thought ...goes into asda and picks up a tin each for them and goes and gets some fruit and veg and some normal milk with the extra that was left over....takes it to the counter and she runs the items all through and then says ..."erm i dont think you can have the baby milk off these" im standing there like WHAT??? (i mean thats what they are actually issued for) so i look at the coupon and it does say fruit , veg, milk and infant formula...even though i was standing telling her what it said on the voucher and that ive used them b4 for he baby milk she was adamant it wasnt and i was wrong...at this point there was a que forming and i was getting more and more embarrassed by the minute cos i felt like a tramp and felt like just saying YA KNOW WHAT FORGET IT! so anyway after asking two staff and the people behind me staring and judging (what i felt like) i got the all my stuff off he vouchers...
she said they have been told its not for baby milk....i told her she had better tell her superiors they are wrong then and if it were to happen gain i wouldnt be back and just take them to morrisons...fecking joke though i felt Really small when she was doing that and waving them at a colleague two rows down...i mean ffs...so just watch the next time you go into any shop incase they try the same thing

Thats not very kind of her.

If its written on them, then they have to take them.

I'd write a letter having a moan.

They are for formula for Dylan, but not sure if you are allowed the progress milk or whatever it is that Taylor has hun. Glad you stuck your ground tho

no defintely says formula milk and progress sill comes under that lol...as i get some for dylan and some for taylro (i think) lol...i dunno they just come in and i use them LOL

Some people are feckin soft!!!!

They state on the

FRESH MILK
FRUIT AND VEG
BABY FORMULA

unless she was THICK and doesnt know formula means milk! Elaine i would of kicked up a fuss as you may of got all your shopping for free???? Write a letter of complaint or better still go in today to complai ask for the store manager!! even if you get some vouchers for there lol better than nout!

as an asda employee we do take those tokens, she was just a silly cow hun xx

lol and we are told to add the stuff up and not just use all the tokens but i dont bother just scan them lol x

lol me too debs! they get the money back of the government so!!! i just tell the customer to go get more fruit most of the time as they are just losing money on them!

I knew I had read that somewhere Kerry, I get the vouchers too, cos Im on benefits and Phoebe is under 4, it does say INFANT formula, that means babies milk.

Kirsty is Erin about 4 yrs old? Cos these new vouchers where only introduced when Phoebe was about 6 months, and the vouchers that were out before them you had to go to the health centre for your baby milk, but you could use them in shops to get fresh milk, I used to have those sort when Jess was a baby.

they are new vochers the wher eonly brought out about 2 years ago now..its good you can get fruit etr for themm...but alot of newsagents just give parnet whatever they want as they are still getting there moeny back..the shops by us where letting parents buy fags and drink out of theres!!!

what a silly cow fancy doing that when it obviously states what they are to be used for
