Went into H&F the other day with a voucher ,thought id by some 410 ammo with it for the kids .... Yeah .. Naa.... the bloke at the counter said ..we cant accept vouchers for ammunition ... I was like WTF ???
:wtfsmilie::roll::pissed off:

Did you use your voucher at the "Tower Junction" store Kotuku ??

yep ,two packets of winchester subs =24.00and the lassy gave me a couple of trinkets to make it up to the 30.00value -no probs whatsoever .cameron moore(owner) was behind the counter too as place was packed to gunwales and there was some bloody hefty buying going on assorted plastci cards i tell you. no probs for me! sounds to me like you may have struck an inexperienced staff member or someone a couple of tomatoes short of a good bottle of watties.

It's true they won't accept vouchers for amo which sucks.

Hmmm-are you sure its not just an individual store policy,cause i know in the past when ive won H&F vouchers ive used them often for 12g ammo.

did exactly that hamsav -a .223 &accessories for my 60th birthday ,then a new.22 &accessories for XMAS. wifey did grunt about the second ,but fairs fair.anyhow no more room in the gunsafe or mancave for that matter so thats it at present. had them +my 12gSxS an d 12g semiauto out for a trip the other w/e
what a bloody ripper blow out session it was .
