    I was hoping for a refund of yesterday's shopping ideally, to feel valued, the very least I want to return them is the amount it would cost me plus the refund of the grapes, rounded up, that would be about £15

    Certainly not a BOGOF on grapes & spiders apparently ;)
    Retired member - fed up with the general tone of the place.

    You could take them to the Environmental Health Dept. of your council.
    DS had to take a spider to Liverpool uni for identification once.

    This does look like on of those posts that are going to provoke a reaction, and while I don't particularly hate spiders nor do I like them and it would have freaked me out too. Not convinced this post is real..

    I can assure you it is, I have a photo, but can't see why easy to add it. I haven't put it on here to get a reaction, I was disappointed with their customer service, so wanted a bit of a vent, and wanted a little advice as to whether I can just throw it away if they don't give me an offer where it is with my while to return. I'm not looking for a huge payment, I'm not looking to go to the press as some of my friends suggested, I've not immediately posted the photo to their Facebook page to get a reaction.....

    That sure does sound like something for a reaction to be fair,wanting your entire shopping bill refunded just for spiders in one item!

    Put the grapes in an air tight container and take them back.Or take them to environmental health so they can check the spiders to make sure they are nothing nasty.
    If women are birds and freedom is flight are trapped women Dodos?
  • If my shopping bill were £100, I'd consider it unreasonable to *hope* for it back, but it was £35, so I'm not looking to cash in. I specifically went to M&S to get their Valentines deal, I could very easily walked to me local shop, got cheaper grapes, and had a takeaway delivered instead, costing me less, and without the thought of the spiders eggs I very nearly ate, wild have enjoyed more. I've also said I'd settle for an offer that reflects the cost of my travel there and back and parking, so I'm hardly asking for the moon.
  • Also, I didn't mention how much I wanted from then until someone asked...
