Dead Mosquito in Loaf of bread

If you want a refund, take the packaging with you when you next go shopping ...otherwise put it in the bin and move on.

Send them an email explaining your problem and ask if you can dispose of the loaf yourself and for them to just send you a voucher to compensate for the item.

All the supermarket in question will do is throw the loaf away when they receive it.

What's wrong with people these days.

Business offers two perfectly reasonable options, but that isn't good enough. If you live in the !!!! end of nowhere that's nobodys fault but your own (25 mins to nearest shops?)

Your OP makes you sound like a very awkward person, you want compo for;

- Having to drive back to the place you purchased the bread from
- Having to go to the CO-OP and buy alternative bread
- Your "time" spent contacting them

Which just sounds frankly ridiculous over a loaf of bread. You waited a week to do anything so you can't be that bothered about chasing this!

Would it be wrong for me to ask for reasonable compensation for the time I have spent emailing them and the inconvenience of going to the other store to get bread, along with the hassle of returning the offending loaf? Not to mention the discovery of a decayed mosquito in the loaf in the first place. How might I calculate this?

Chuck it in the bin and grow up.

Yet another mountain and molehill thread.

It's a dead mosquito. Can't see what the fuss is about really, just eat the bread, it won't kill you.

Or take it back as instructed, your choice.

Please send the remains of the loaf to the World Health Organisation. They have been desperately searching for something to eradicate malaria and this could just be the thing.

I'm intrigued as to how you know it's a mosquito and not a run of the mill fly?

I wonder what happens in the OP's house if a fly gets into the kitchen - massive food throw-out?

But... but is it a Gluten-free mosquito?
