I recently went into S**co to buy a new Consumer Unit, I took it to the Cash desk, the price was fifty pounds plus v.a.t. I then got Six crisp new tenners out of my wallet to pay for the item including v.a.t. The sales assistant promptly rang up the cash purchase on the till, and the receipt began printing off at the till.
He then asked me for proof of ID, which due to data protection act rules, I was entitled to refuse to hand over where I was paying over the whole purchase price in Cash (Six crisp tenners).
I said that I left my ID at home.
He then promptly asked the Manager, and was told by the Manager, that the sale must be Voided immediately on the till with the supervisory key provided, and that we must Lose that cash Sale regardless!!!
Has anyone got a decent explanation for this stupid incident??, now S**co had just lost a sale in the Post Recession era!
