No Receipt

[roadman]

i have no receipt could i get store credit how does this situation work

[barry1010]

I'm always offered a receipt, too. Very often the receipt is automatically put into the bag with the item(s)

[pastafreak]

I'm almost always asked if I want one...and I'll take it about 50% of the time...depending on what I'm buying. If they don't ask, I don't consider them idiots. That's a bit harsh.

// Why are shops so against giving a receipt, //

One explanation could be to make the paper till roll last longer between replacement.

Many decades ago I had to undertake such a task. They can be quite 'fiddly' to change.

//I certainly won't be buying Roman vouchers anymore. //

Neither would I! That's disgraceful! I trust you've contacted them about this?

[THECORBYLOON]

On the Roman website, they have a £50 gift card and it's valid for twelve month.

KUSTARD...I'd think all stores put a time limit on vouchers. But 2 months certainly is not a lot. Are you sure it's not for January 2024?

// won't be buying Roman vouchers //

Why would anyone purchase a voucher that can only be redeemed in a specific store.

Give them the money equivalent of the voucher. Then the recipient is not constrained to where it is spent!

[THECORBYLOON]

The gift card also shows the value.

[barry1010]

Kustard, according to their website gift vouchers are valid for 12 months - contact them

[THECORBYLOON]

"Why would anyone purchase a voucher that can only be redeemed in a specific store."

If it weren't popular, hundreds of businesses wouldn't be using them.

It also shows that at least some thought and effort went into the gift.

[pastafreak]

Zebu, maybe that particular store is a favourite of the recipient.

[naomi24]

I've had gift cards that don't show the value, Corby. They have to be scanned in the store.

[barry1010]

The Roman website allows you to check the balance of your gift card online. You don't have to spend it all at once

[pastafreak]

I've now got Roman adverts popping up on my screen...:(

[THECORBYLOON]

NAOMI, I meant this particular card since it was said the voucher doesn't show the value.

It seems odd having a voucher showing no value and a card that does.

[ZebuSanctuary]

//If it weren't popular, hundreds of businesses wouldn't be using them.//

Consumer madness if you ask me!

Oops... In reply, fair enough!

[barry1010]

Anyone with gift vouchers should spend them as soon as possible - there is no guarantee that the store will still be in business in a few months, whoever they are

[KUSTARD]

I have reread the receipt just to make sure and it says "vouchers issued between 1st Nov-24th Dec are valid until the date shown below or 30 days from purchase whichever is greater January 13th" so, thank you. I will be in touch with them for an explanation. As for the people saying why would I not give an open gift card or money, well it's my choice. I wouldn't dream of telling you what to do!!!! I dread posting on here sometimes because of the unnecessary unwanted advice.

Totally agree Barry. Especially with Roman in the present economic climate. I never shop there anyway these days after being persuaded by a sales assistant to buy something I was unsure of on the basis “you can always bring it back if you change your mind” only to find when I did that they don’t do cash or credit card refunds only credit notes (and yes to be used within a certain period) in any circumstances. I ended up buying something else I did not really need so that I didn’t lose my money!
