1. Badger Ales! You offer 50p off the next bottle. No-one will accept the vouchers.
2. Co-op! The £5 voucher you gave out led to Mrs Crossy holding up a long queue whilst various members of your management team decided if you could accept it.
3. Morrisons! Ensure that when you enter into a concordat with the axis of evil, Murdoch and his NOTW, to give £5 off a grocery shop that your computers are set up for it. The people behind me were not happy either.

Does anyone else have issues with faux offers?

I recently was sent a coupon from Nestle for a box of Coffee Capsule for
the machine I received as a pressie,  nice touch I thought, only the coupon don't scan in any of the supermarkets, who won't accept it,  .
And long gone are the days when you could hand the cashier a fist full of coupons and they would take the lot,

It's a man thing. Men are better at spotting bargains. Only a man would go to a Sunday market, buy £30 worth of meat from one of those performing butchers, and bring it home where there is no room to store it and it'll all go off in a couple of days.
I should imagine.

I'm getting a bit fed up with the Pay Double Get One Free offers at Tescos.  They must think we're stoopid.  I've started memorising the prices of the common things they do this on ... like Pantene shampoo ... so that I can have the pleasure of being pissed off.

This is sort of connected with the thread though this is not money off vouchers, but vouchers bought with Tesco clubcard. We ordered some vouchers for a restaurant chain called Prezzo, and we decided to use them tonight - they come in £10 lots. The meal came to £58.45, so rather than use £50 worth and pay £8.45 we decided to use £60 worth of vouchers and let them keep the "change". (Bearing in mind each £10 Prezzo voucher costs £2.50 in Tesco vouchers it is cheaper for us to do it that way) - are you still with me?
Amyway we gave the waitress our vouchers and she started saying that we couldn't pay for our drinks with the vouchers. The drinks had been bought at the bar before we sat down so weren't on our food bill so we told her this and she went off. 
She then came back with one of the vouchers and told us we needed to pay £8.45.
We said we would rather use the extra voucher, but she really wasn't wanting this, and went off to her manager again.
When she came back this time, she got in a real strop with us saying that we were going to mess the till up and all sorts of other nonsense, and that she would lose out. My OH tried to tell her that we were paying MORE than we needed to so there wouldn't be any problem but she stormed off saying "it's money for the till but not for us" whatever that meant.
When I got home I looked at the T&Cs that came with the vouchers and apparently there was no problem at all with what we did.
Wish I hadn't left a tip now.
