I got 500 Boots advantage cards points for a genuine complaint, I'd never complained about poor service before but I will from now on!

Anyone care to help me with a complaint? I don't usually bother but this really annoyed me!

I ordered a shop from tesco and my little one was going mad for some choc chip muffins, so added a pack, anyway, when they came (15th Nov) they had an expired date of the 13th! I know sometimes this is just a guideline, so opened up the box and they were so far from edible! They were stale and smelt off. I am really annoyed! I know it seems trivial but I had to deal with my daughter tantruming most of the day because she couldn't have a muffin she'd wanted!

Here's what happens when if you eat mouldy muffins from Poundstretcher - http://www.thepressnews.co.uk/NewsDetails.asp?id=7381

I find more and more shops have stock with such short BB dates. I tend to go by sight and smell but can't decide whether it's a ploy so people will throw out & buy more or if they're being over-cautious ...
