Doodle Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hi, can you someone tell what the correct phrase would be for asking the lady on the till at the supermarket to take off the bill the money I have collected over several months on my lerclerc card. One lady did say to me 'enlever' but when I tried this at a later date I got one of those looks that meant I'd said it wrong or said it in a terrible accent!Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I usually ask her to check : "Vous pouvez vérifier s'il y a quelque chose sur ma carte, s'il vous plait?"She tells me there is €5.30 (for example) and I say "Vous pouvez les déduire (= les enlever = les retirer)?"

JohnRoss Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I just say when she hands the loyalty card back having done whatever she does: "C'est combien s'il vous plait?" She tells me and I say "Enlever s'il vous plait" Always works for me ...........................JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiona Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I am always asked if I have a loyalty card and say NON. How do you go about getting one?? Picked up a leaflet instore once and from what I could read looked as if I needed to take I.D. etc with me????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Mais moi j'ai plus de mérite, parce qu'ils doivent penser que je suis anglaise vu que j'ai un super beau sac TESCO, avec " The big green bag" écrit dessus !!Et toc !!! [:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 If you have a Super U one you can give the points to charity and the shop will match them. They are turned into credit which buys and installs water purifying systems etc in Africa. The charities are bona fide and do the work themselves. Ask at the caisse.
