Shop Keepers Named "Pete"

Who assume you are trying to rip them off for 77p for the sake of a bottle of Coke, which has an expiry date of February 2003. That wasn't a mistake I really did say 2003.

I would have been happy with a refund, but his attitude as he snatched the other out of date bottle rattled my cage...... :(

    i had that kind of thing once, a bottle of coke was mouldy and the shop keeper was really suspicious and unfriendly, even after i pointed to the mould in his fridge and on the other bottles ... grrrr!
