I'm not sure what rights you have Maz, but definitely follow it up.

I wonder how they have come to such a strange amount ? ... Do you think they scanned the cigs twice ? ... would that add up ?

Anyway ... good luck & hope you get the matter sorted

I turned my ways to roll-ups now, far cheaper

women with rollies tho??

Who gives a crap what others think about it, you like a fag, cheap option are rollies, plenty of women smoke rollies, its not a fashion agenda, its a nicotine habit.

Go for Amber Leaf or the lovely smelling Old Holborn

As a roll-up queen, with a special wee gadget for hand rolling, I can second the Amber Leaf suggestion. It's what I do, and I have a lovely little faux-silver box for putting them in too when I put them in my bag

Should we start an AMber Leaf Roll Up LIST!

Roll upsat work & home & proper cigs when i go out, to act abit posher!!!

I smoke Amber leaf rollies, too! Lovely! If I'm going out, I make them in advance and put them in a cigarette case.

Thanks Twee - the cigs we 5.70 so even if they'd charged me for 2 packs it would be £11.40 by my reckoning so i dont honestly know what i was charged for

Maybe they have not cleared their till of previous purchase. I would kick up a fuss as others have said, and for them to prove with CCT footage who is right.

An inventory of their sales for the day should also prove she only bought one packet.

So do I, Drum is okay as well.
If you want to be posh, just roll them in advance using filters, put them in the Amberleaf box and use as cigs.
I went to a casino once, where everyone was chatty and tipsy and sharing their bacci, nobody gave a flying one.

I never got on with rollies, though my daughter does.

If you think L&B are shameful, I smoke Mayfair! Even worse! Though I MUST give up again.

Well, Mummy Maz, with all these helpful tips and ideas, are you going to go back and claim your money back? I would!

Drum is my 2nd choice, I'm smoking Golden Virginia at the moment as it was Duty Free...i miss Amber Leaf!!

I do sometimes roll them in advance, and I use filters...I actually prefer roll ups to 'normal' cigs!

Is it one of those rolling machines, cant you dont it by hand (thats not rude by the way)

Plus with Amber Leaf you can get them in a fag packet shaped box with free papers

no, sink, I can't roll by hand. I have tried and it's too difficult so I bought a BULL gadget where I put in the filter, then loosely pack the tobacco, close it in, position the paper, roll it round, lick the paper, roll, and voila I have a great fag. I sound so professional there, don't I? Or maybe a bit boring haha. The boxes you mention are ok but I prefer the professional look myself

And I get 100 free papers with my 50g pack every time too. Everyone's a winner.

Good on you Maz! Let us know what happens.

bloody hell over a fiver a pkt!
i'm gonna bring plenty with me when i come back for my visa.

Are you a local in there Mazz? If so then they should give you the money back. They should anyway, but if you are a regular, you may have more chance. Or ask them to check on their CCTV. If you know the time you were there it wont be that hard to check Good luck

I know but ive a feeling they'll say its my own fault for not checking ...

They cant say that (well they can try), it's happened to me in the past and I had no hassle getting it back. If you take a couple of blokes in balaclavas and a gun you shouldn't have any trouble

*waits to see if Maz gets her money back*

For £4.25 you could always try a Sterling but they're not as great - bit like Mayfair

Oy! I smoke Sterling and they're not that bad!!

I'm in the Amber Leaf club too! Much prefer rollies to the real thing these days. I've had a tin for ages and use filters - sooooo much cheaper. Spend about £15-£20 a week on tobacco now as opposed to £35-£40 if I smoked proper fags.

yeeeeeeeeeeha! i got a full FIVER back! the bloke just rolled his eyes when i described who was working on the till !!

aw Maz, that's great news. I'm delighted it went smoothly for you. Obviously the person on the counter is known for his/her mistakes. And you got your £5 back.

Nice one

To celebrate maz getting her money back, and to let everyone see my famous fag rolling gadget, check out this pic ... (if it works)

Are we going to start an Amber Leaf Appreciation Society in maz's honour?

@ Hyper - the rizla one, is that a rolling machine? oh and the amber leaf, has that got tobacco in the box with papers then?? cos it just looks like a fag box (forgive my ignorance, i've never had a rollie before!!)

hyper, I see you have the more sophisticated and upmarket rolling machine, which makes my gadget look rather stone-age Swan filters are the best tho, as they don't fall apart like some.
