@YesterdaysBrit1 Still see plenty of these driving around former Yugoslavian countries!

@dresserman @Joanna__Hardy I once filled with petrol at Tesco and genuinely forgot my bank card to pay. Explained to staff and they said to me dont worry as you intend to pay it isn't theft and they gave me an invoice to return within 48 hours!

@dresserman @Joanna__Hardy Theft act 1968, defines it as appropriation of property belonging to another, dishonestly, with an intention to permanently deprive them of it. The key word is dishonestly, which doesn't apply here, as there is intent to pay, and so there is a strong argument in his favour IMO!

@dresserman Also needs one of the big supermarkets to lead the way cutting the fuel price as much as possible so others follow. Like Asda used to.

@CarlLaverick After how many years does it get written off, and what would the outstanding balance be at that point?

[Mark @mark__w_]

@dresserman Last month they offered a voucher code £20 off £100 via Amazon which stacked with other codes. Our delivery driver said they were busier than Christmas, everyone using these discount codes.

[Mark @mark__w_]

@dresserman They pretend to be a discount retailer but most comparable products are equal to or higher in price than the supermarkets. Many people I know have noticed this over the last year or so and prefer to shop at Tesco instead where they say it is cheaper for the same things.

@MartinSLewis Used to work at frankie&bennys. As we sat table down while giving menus out we'd ask if they want dough balls while deciding. 8 out of 10 said yes without seeing the price which was around 8.99,we were told cost price 50p. Whoever sold most dough balls each month got £50 bonus!

@dresserman Clearly well run for many years, because they understand at a laser focus level not only what's important for the business but moreso for the customer.

@BMM1882 Going back further, from 20 years ago, not just Morrisons but all of the big 4 had no self service, and not only every checkout manned but every checkout had a 2nd man there to pack your bags for you!

@Wroe_Tweet @dresserman I've had £20 off £60 at morrisons for the next 3 weeks sent.

[Mark @mark__w_]

@dresserman I wouldn't shop this. I'd go elsewhere.

@LyndseyKim97 @EmileeHami94718 Cumwalks?

[Mark @mark__w_]

@dresserman They have a planned 5p per litre tax increase on petrol/diesel scheduled for September. Starmer wouldn't cancel it when asked in PMQs. First fuel tax increase in many years.

@amyw69x Pluribus. From the same people who made Breaking Bad. Stick with it you'll be hooked by 3rd episode.

[Mark @mark__w_]

@dresserman It gets written off after so many years though, so the accumulating interest is irrelevant, it's effectively a graduate tax and should be called that rather than a loan! Those overpaying are doing so needlessly when it eventually is written off.

[Mark @mark__w_]

@dresserman Out of interest, yes supermarket margins are low, but what's the margins of the large suppliers eg Mondelez, Unilever etc. I suspect they are much higher and getting higher..

[Mark @mark__w_]

@JockAyeTheNoo @dresserman Our Asda bakery had a slight makeover recently, loads of things eg iced donuts, bread etc, all now unwrapped here also. I don't mind it not sure on the iced donuts mind.

[Mark @mark__w_]

@dresserman Vouchercloud has had working codes for Morrisons every week so far this year, managed £10-£20 off every week stacking discount codes! They publish them like confetti.

[Mark @mark__w_]

@dresserman Idea came from and was implemented at the time for Pepco by my former Matalan area manager, a very angry and ruthless lady, only boss I've ever had who I didn't like! I understand they let her go a few years ago.
