Hair in my rolls from tesco

Hi there, Had a BBQ on sat night and one of the BBQ rolls had a 6 inch hair in it, It was actually throught the dough not just on the roll. Im going to tescos in a min can I ask for compensation? It really made me gag and put me and my friends off our food, Thanks Shelley

    Best case scenario:

    They'll give you a refund, and possibley a bottle of wine or some flowers.

    They'll send the food away and you might end up with a voucher at somepoint with a letter of appology.

    Don't bank on getting huge sums of compensation...
    The money, Dave...

    Why would you want compensation?
    What do you want compensating for?

    I didnt want to dive to only get a refund for 60p as it will cost me more than that in fuel, Also dont want more rolls. I was only taking about a few quid, Shelley

    I think the most you'll get is a refund on the price you paid.

    You'll get something for your trouble, after all you are alerting them to possible probems with a supplier or their instore bakery.

    Just don't bank on getting much more than a £20 voucher.

    Can't believe no-one's said it yet:

    "There's a hair in my roll"

    "Don't say it too loudly, everyone will want one"




    I'll get me coat....

    I bought a prawn sarnie in Ainsley's in Leeds a few months ago and there was a thick black hair cooked right into it. I emailed them in disgust (I nearly ate the bloody thing!) and recieved £10 in vouchers, and an apology stating 'we have reminded our staff to wear their hairnets at all times'.

    A hair in food *is* disgusting, in my opinion, and I was pleased by Ainsley's admittance and compensation :)
