</p> I thought I might do my bit and have emailed an exchange group and an aquaintance of mine who runs the asylum seekers and refugees drop-in centre regarding buying and distributing some vouchers so that these people on £5 a day can have cash to spend in better value outlets. I know it's helping the bogus along with the deserving but, while the government fails so badly to seperate the two, the only alternative would be to leavedesperate and deserving peopleto be ripped off by Morrisons etc.</p> At least that's what I thought. Having discussed it with a couple of friends last night I'm led to believe that all they have to do is buy one small item with a voucher to receive their change in cash. Does anyone know if this is true? If so what's the point in running the scheme? Unless the actual cost of the voucher + the unit cost of running the scheme still costs less than a fiver, in which case the only loser is Morrisons who are buying their vouchers back at more than they sold them for.</p>
Yes, I posted that yesterday that people buy one item and get change. I suppose Morrisons assume that if you're in the shop then some will spend more. No idea if they get anything for running the scheme either.</p>
RE: Yes, I posted that yesterday that people buy one item and get change. I also spoke to someone regarding it last night, and they said that change was not given. Assuming therefore they must have to spend more than £5. However neither of us are in the 'know'.
Change is given. I've seen it quite often. That's how I know. No idea what the rules are but I've seen people buy one item with the voucher and get change on several occasions.
