In that case why would you inform a public forum read by local people about "what could have been an innocent mistake"?


Sorry Sue to keep banging on about this, it's really not not personal, and it's very clear that your post was well intentioned, but it just worries me that something of this nature can be aired in such a public way. People who work directly with the public are so vulnerable to accusations which they are usually unaware of and unable to defend.


Maybe I feel so strongly about it becauase I am from a working class background, I still have friends and family who work in shops and can identify more with the shop workers than with you. Again, sorry. I guess we will never agree on this one.


I am dipping out of this one now. Adios.

Excuse me ?!?!?!


How do you know what my background is?


I have also worked in shops!

Because a) It might not have been an innocent mistake and b) If it was, then the person who made such a basic mistake as not giving somebody their cashback could well make that basic mistake with another customer.


I therefore thought it worth sharing.


For God's sake - I haven't identified the assistant in any way whatsoever, I haven't got a vendetta against Somerfield's, I am not suggesting everybody who works in a shop is a thieving working class dreg of society, I am merely suggesting that people be more careful than usual when getting cashback just in case they don't get given it, as that happened to me recently.


Why didn't all these people come out and say similar things on the other very long thread on this forum where Somerfields was a leading player??


Edited to say I use the term working class because another poster did.

Because whether it was an innocent mistake or not, Sue didn't get her cashback. Therefore she's warning people to make sure they get the cashback they've asked for. Anything you infer beyond this is your problem, not Sue's.


: P

I really do not see the problem with Sue's post, she simply gave a warning about something that may or may not have been a genuine mistake. She was very clear that that it may have been a genuine mistake.


I cant believe the grief she has had from certain people!

I'm largely on Sue's side on the wider point - but I think it's disingenuous to not "get" why people think the post was not accusatory rather than simple warning


The title alone - "Somerfield again..." suggests an implicit previous conviction and that they haven't learned a lesson which just isn't the case.


That so many people who have been cloned were also in Somerfield implies nothing more than lots of people go to a high profile supermarket. They have not been confirmed as the source of anything (although I take on board what Sue says re: her bank's comments)


Starting a new thread also suggests an event of some magnitude more than adding to previous threads...

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
