Yeah, I know, but it would be nice to have an option where you could tick to opt out of the swap, have it sent when it's next in stock or something... And the swapped item should always be of equal or higher value, I would be mightily peeved if I'd have recieved caged hen eggs rather than free range.0 -

I understand. Recognising what customers want isn't their strongest point
Are there any difference between free ranged eggs and caged eggs (except the quality of life for the chickens)?Thought for the day: each generation of mankind tends to hug the illusion of having reached the culmination of human achievement. Yet, as we scoff at our groping ancestors, so our descendants will surely scoff at us.

Price. Free range and or Organic will always cost more than caged.
... And ethics. It is widely known that the treatment of hens is a contencious issue so the company should have put measures in place for that sort of thing specially; the same with organic, if I specifically ordered organic and got non organic I would have been peeved too. The company should be aware of these food issues seeing as their business soley relies on it.0 -

Oh right. Fair enough, although I wouldn't pay more for free ranged eggs. As for Organic food, watch the Organic foods episode of Pen & Teller: Bullsh*t. But yes, people have the right to be annoyed if they do this. As for getting a bigger yogurt then you ordered, I don't think there too much to be annoyed about

You can usually tell the difference - the shells of eggs from caged hens are thinner, but I didn't notice this time. The boxes are quite similar so it's probably a simple mistake, I won't call them because I like my milkman and don't want him to get into trouble.52% tight0

There is. I have never, ever bought one big tub of yogurt. There are several reasons for this, one being that I have a compulsion to eat 'everything' which usually means everything on my plate, or the whole bar of chocolate whatever size it is. Also, as far as I am aware, you cannot fit two different flavours of yoghurt in one tub 0 -
