    I can't believe threads like this!

    ... "Obviously my question is too silly to warrant a friendly reply." - you're not far wrong, love.

    Of course a bottle will work its way through a bag if carried for a prolonged period. If that was the only item bought, he should've held it by the neck, that's painfully obvious.

    falling out with local shop over such a trivial matter is probably not a good strategy

    I broke a bottle of wine once, when the plastic bag broke, right outside my front door.:(

    Now, I don't take any chances, I pay for the wine and drink it on the way home. It does make the drive home a bit of a challenge but luckily for me, I have those handy cup holders in my car which means that I don't spill a drop!

    Cheers! :D

  • ...if I was a shop owner I'd take the hit to keep the custom. The cost of a bottle of wine vs who knows how much money made from a local/loyal customer? Yes maybe above and beyond, technically, but it would be sensible.

    One of our local shops charges 80p to use a card (a transgression which deserves its own thread) and we've avoided going there so much as a result, they must have lost who knows, a tenner a week at least.

    it is for real -- can be slow going but there is money to be made
  • Legally, the shop is responsible. They provided the carrier bag for that specific task, it wasn't up to the job, it's their fault.


    So consumer rights answer - your right is for a full refund from the shop. Whether you'll get it is another answer.
