Thanks all. Really wasn!!!8217;t after such crappy comments about the ice cream when I!!!8217;d already said that the question was silly put to others problems. All I wanted to know was if our neighbour was lying to me about a law preventing food returns. He was lying, and it comes down to his lack of goodwill, so we!!!8217;ll vote with our feet. Thanks for the help !!!55357;!!!56832;

You were wrong, he was right.

Be an adult, admit this and move on with your life.

And ''voting with your feet'' is just punishing someone for your own mistakes.

In our local Morrisons I found a cooked chicken from the rotisserie that had been dumped on a chiller shelf which was still piping hot. Took it back to the rotisserie counter and the shop assistant put it straight in the bin. It was discarded and it hadn't left the shop. OP why should the shop take the loss?

Shop keeper has done nothing wrong, you have by this outburst.


It takes less than 20 seconds to inject the ice cream with poison (of course you didn't it's just an example) so no, it won't go back on sale.


I don't actually see any crappy replies, just common sense ones.

It is.

I’m left feeling really frustrated by his inflexibility.

Then you are easily frustrated.

I suspect he'll be glad not to have to suffer your custom again if this is how you react to a trivial mistake on your part.

My daughter was sent to buy some soft scoop ice cream from our local village shop (so local, it’s next door!j. She returned with a very expensive brand of ice cream instead

A local village shop which may well be paying very high rent and business rates and who might could be struggling financially and who would have to write off the cost of the "very expensive" ice cream if they accepted it back rather than take the risk of reselling it.
Even though it had only been outside of the store for a very short time, it would only take a couple seconds for someone to tamper with it.

It's also worth remembering that the UK is undergoing a bit of a heatwave at the moment and if the ice cream was put in a car (where the temperature could easily be 40c), it wouldn't take long for the outside to start melting.

I wonder if the OP would have been happy to eat it, had the shop keeper offered her another 'briefly pre-owned' tub of soft scoop in exchange?

No chance.
"But it was only off the premises for 20 seconds."
No chance.
