I bought a jumper today in Debenhams for €39 and the very helpful cashier told me that if I nipped out and bought the Sun , the voucher in it would get me a 20% discount.

So I paid my €0.90cents for the Sun and saved around €7 for the journey.

Hey Brendan! Could you not have informed us during opening time?:mad:
 
Nice work, if a little embarassing for you!

Did the voucher have a use by date on it? If you lived near a shop/supermarket, they nearly always have papers left at the end of the night or in the evening time.
 
Are you the guy spotted in sandymount wearing a bright jumper with a picture of a naked girl on the back?

So that's why you weren't around much yesterday. Off directing parking with your rolled up newspaper.

BTW are you sure it was the Sun as the http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&userType=A&categoryId=72610 (website says Daily Mail) or is the Sun its equivalent here?
 
fair play to the staff member in Debenhams.

Could so easily have just taken the full price & said nothing.

Unlike the one who hounds people to take their store card and get 30% off.

I swear I'll swing for her yet. Twice last week tormenting me. :mad:

Is €7 really worth the shame ?

€1 is worth the shame lest alone €7. Time for a wake up call for those that think this kind of thing is embarrassing. Welcome to the 2009 world.

Resistance is futile!


Seriously though, in the Galway store, I've only been asked once if I wanted their store card, and they accepted my "no, thanks" without further discussion.
I have heard they can be pushy enough in other stores though.
 
I don't see why it's such a good deal when you can probably get 3 or 4 jumpers in Penneys for the same outlay and have money left over for The Financial Times and a cup of coffee.
