Man gets Tesco Clubcard tattooed on his arm to stop him forgetting it | SWNS

A scaffolder had his Tesco Clubcard permanently tattooed onto his arm - because he kept forgetting to take it with him when he visited the supermarket.
Dad-of-seven Dean Mayhew, 30, said he thought about the tattoo for several months before deciding to go under the needle.
He said despite shopping in Tesco up to three times a day, he regularly found himself having to pay more because he forgot his loyalty card.
So he got the QR code for his card tattooed on his right forearm - and it works perfectly under the scanner at the till.
Now, he collects Clubcard points and gets discounts on groceries every time he shops - as he literally can’t forget to bring it with him.
Dean said: “People just say that it’s typical me - sometimes I’m not the cleverest of guys but they’ve said that for me, it’s pretty genius.
“I’ve got seven kids and I’m in there all the time - probably three times a day I’d say.
“I’ve been thinking of getting [the tattoo] for the last three to four months. Every time I go in there they ask if I’ve got my Clubcard but it’s always at home or I’ve lost it."
Dean, from Horsham, Sussex, spent half an hour getting the tattoo earlier this month (16/07) at A Star Tattoo in Chessington, Surrey.
He and his tattoo artist - Dan Rossetter, 39 - then visited the local Tesco Express to find out if it worked.
“I tried the self-checkout but it was quite awkward to use because I wasn’t doing it right so I said 'let me go to the guy on the till' - I went up there and it worked,” said Dean.

Dude spent a fortune on a tattoo just to get 20p off his cookies

All those 20ps add up in the end! As they say, “Tesco - Every little helps!”

@@Anonymous-hx5vw what if he need new card?

[@michaelb2388]

Well they do that every few months

[@michaelb2388]

​@@Anonymous-hx5vwWrong, they change the QR codes regularly. I tried taking a screenshot of my code because I often couldn't get a signal in store. After a month it didn't work anymore and the staff explained it changed to stop people sharing them

[@DanTheMan221]

He actually has the Tesco app on his phone at the end... With the card on it! 😅

[@prawny12009]

I just screen shot the open app and set it as my home screen so I never have to interact with the app again.

[@prawny12009]

Charging over double the "clubcard" price for non members should be criminal, if they can afford to sell items cheaper to "members" then they could sell it at that price without the clubcard and still be profitable. If the regular price is higher than everywhere else you aren't giving members a discount you are just ripping everyone else off.
