Absolutely – it’s there to keep the staff honest.

It’s the same (original) reason stuff was priced at £.99p rather than a whole pound (aside from the psychological “make it sound cheaper” aspect). It meant the staff member had to ring it through the till and give change.

Whatever the reason, if you have a policy or promise – keep it.

Had exactly the same at a pumpkin cafe, when I mentioned the sign the chap who had served me printed one out and handed it over. Then told me it didn’t apply. I guess it’s there to stop staff pocketing the cash from transactions themselves, but pretty pointless if the staff in stores take no notice of it.

I was polite but persistent, and my issue was not with the girl who served me (she was lovely) but the shirty attitude of the manager when I asked them to make good on a written customer service promise.

If I'd been shouty, rude or aggressive, that would have been a different matter but I smiled and kept my voice down.

In business, if you're going to make policies and promises to your customers, you must be prepared to keep them.

Jesus christ, get over it. It was a receipt. You're the one who looks like an asshole in all of this. I just feel sorry for the poor girl serving you.

That's dreadful! I'd have a look at LoveJuice in Centre MK instead – their stuff looks really good!

That is not the only fail for this business I am afraid. I went there this weekend and my wife bought a strawberry smoothie. Now, the sign said clearly made from real fruit. However, all we got in our smoothie was strawberry syrup and ice. Now, in my book that is a slushie, not a healthy smoothie. A real smoothie is made either from fresh or frozen fruit or from whole fruit pads with either a little water, ice or, in some cases milk added to thin it out. This was utter rubbish and when I pointed out the clear breach of advertising standards, they just shrugged as if to say so what. So cost of materials maybe 4 pence, cost of slushie 3.49. A real bad deal.
