If going for the biscuit option then don't buy bourbons as I found them almost indestructible and it took a lot of whacking them against the wall to cause enough damage.

Chocolate brownies (upmarket ones - a stack in a plastic tray thing, in cellophane, with a cardboard sleeve covering the bottom half of the pack - hard to describe, but once you've seen them, you'll know what I mean). Take out the cellophane packet (no need to open the cellophane), squash the bottom brownie into crumbs, and, hey presto, instant faulty product!! I assume that, because the pack is still intact, the returned pack can be reduced to clear (or go to the staff tearoom).

Prawn cocktail - open the lid and add a small amount of water ("the dressing seems very runny"). Or, just peel back the edge of the lid and say it was already open.

Chilled sausage rolls - they are dry and hard (no need to lie in this case).

Tuna & cucumber sandwich - really damp and soggy (again no need to lie, especially with the healthy eating variety).

Reduced to clear salad or sandwich - tastes funny (most likely to be offered refund rather than replacement on these).

Any out of date product - if you spot one, buy it!

Kimitatsu

Prepacked fruit - not ripe (actually I wasnt lying in this case lol!)

Sandwich - bread tastes mouldy

Crisps - fat tastes rancid

Never once ahs anyone stopped to check that what I have said is true they just refund instantly so you are unlikely to be questioned about it!

Looks like it's come and gone before I got up, so sorted.

Are you ok? If you need a restorative tea/coffee when you're over this way, I owe you one.

Thanks all for the fab ideas!!!
I've found a big needle to take with me, and I'm sure that my milk might just happen to leak!!

One more quick question, which I'm sure must have been asked before but had a quick search and couldn't find it, What do you put for Time Out of the shop if you leave then go back a minute or 2 later to make the complaint? I'm assuming it would be the time you left the shop after everything was done rather than the time you left the first time?!?

I have always put the time after everything was done. My timings have never been queried.

I'm going for a haircut and colour on Monday. Frightening that anyone actually pays that much for a 'do. It'll practically max out my credit card! Anyone here near Stirling? I'm getting bored of shlepping up there to do crisp jobs.

Ha, ha, about 25 miles away but on a diet and probably can't be asked.

On an entirely different note, does anyone know any chicken sitters in Central Scotland or anyone who would like to be a chicken aunty for 3 chooks? :rotfl:
