Not that it's any of your business, but the bottle of alcohol was supposed to be a special birthday present for someone. What a rude individual you are, your parents must be so proud.......

Of course it was, I'll bet most on here could have predicted that response before you wrote it.

Dunno about you guys, but to me every pound counts so shoot me! And maybe I do expect to receive what I pay for. Hell, everything is so expensive these days, why shouldn't I?

The cheapest and most efficient solution would be to just remove the tag yourself. Wasting time complaining and taking it to a store is not a good use of time or money so i have no idea why you keep pursuing this route.

But i don't know why you think things are expensive. I shop in Aldi and i would say food items are so cheap especially if you cook meals from scratch.

Perhaps the OP doesn't want to risk committing a criminal offence if they damage the tag while removing it?

There would be no criminal offence, the tag now belongs to the OP as it was include with the bottle when he bought it. He can do what he likes with it.

If it happened to me, I'd be straight onto a forum

How would the shop know he had the tag, they were meant to have removed it before sending.:rotfl:

I'm curious, what would the criminal offence be?

And more to the point, how would the store prosecute anyone when they are unaware that the tag has even left the store, never mind where it has gone?
