>If for any reason you are unhappy with your purchase, we’ll happily replace or refund it. Does anyone do this?
>>21100302The only food I remember returning was a loaf of bread that got squashed by a bagger sticking a gallon of milk on top of it.
>>21100302>Does anyone do this?When I was a kid Miss Vickies (very slightly) changed the recipe of their Jalapeno Kettle-Cooked Chips (?I think 2009?) so it now had green little flakes on it that'd I didn't like. I wrote them a polite e-mail telling them I didn't like it. They sent me a coupon that I could redeem for like 3 bags of chips from any Frito-Lay brand at any store.
I have a vague memory of doing it with fruit once, but it might be a dream or fantasy I have archived as a memory.
I bought Sir Kensington ketchup. It tasted like ass so I returned it, said it tasted like ass and they refunded the money. That's the only time I've ever done that. That's how disgusting that shit was and I like all sorts of things others find gross like bitter melon (love it) or century egg (liked them as a kid but the last time I had it, I wasn't a fan)

My dad tried calling Nabisco once. Said the Ritz he bought were stale in the box. He had serious anger issues though, and could really get himself worked up if he started getting irritated about something like this. And I didn't know it yet, but he had already tried writing to them without any luck. So of course he was shouting when he got a hold of some uninterested lady that he could rant to for five minutes about how "You cocksuckers just ignored my letter!"Anyway, she said she would transfer him, but she didn't. She just put him on hold for a really long time. It was so long that I eventually forgot about it and started watching tv. My dad was pacing up and down in the hall outside my room, to calm himself down; he always said it helped. Then I heard him come to a stop in the living room. He was listening, for a moment. "No I don't want a goddamn coupon! They were stale, lady!" He slammed the phone down really hard, "Motherfuckers!" He was still stomping up and down the hall, just outside my room, when I fell asleep.

I did it with chicken tenders and they gave me a free bag.some companies are shit heads though and they'll only give you a discount on your next purchase, they won't even give you a free one. realistically they aren't obligated to do shit for you so I assume some day soon this practice will go away.
>>21101006They were fucking stale!
>>21100374autism
>>21100302This is why they cost twice as much as store brand and yes, you should complain.

I returned catfood once because my cat didn't like it. I just brought it to the register and said my cat wouldn't eat it. they kind of laughed at first but I was serious I spent 20 dollars on something my cat can't eat and the store said "100% satisfaction guaranteed" on the wall and they just gave me the money back right there at the register.
>>21100302I've never had to do it through the manufacturer as implied, I've either gone back to the store or just whined to online support for credit if a bag o chips had a hole in it or was bad in some way.
I got a 1oz bag of sun chips from a subway years ago. The chips were all clumped up and weird. I reached out, pepsico sent me a letter with 2 $1 off coupons, and 2 "free full sized bag of chips" coupons.
>>21100302When I was in my 20s I would send a letter every week to various companies either praising or complaining about their product. whether or not I was satisfied with the product, they would all send me a coupon for a free something or like $5 off. I promptly scanned them and posted them on 4chan back when they had coupon threads. Then the feds made that coupon fraud law and I had to stop sharing them. For a while, I got chobani for $0.13 each.

>>21100343FFS they do that shit at my local Hannaford.I even put stuff on the conveyor belt in order for that not to happen, but sure enough they end up putting jars of pasta sauce on top of the eggs.>"haha be careful with that bag, it's heavy!">"eggs are on the bottom btw"

>>21100302I wrote multiple emails about how they were "jewing me" out of my money when Frito Lays started changing their bags to lower ounce amounts and charging more for less ounces. They ignored my emails and I kept sending them everyday for a week straight because I was home during covid, and they eventually blocked my email address. I think I was drinking a bottle of Vodka a day that week however.
>>21100302I regularly come up with reasons from time to time to complain about products and get sent coupons AND get my money back.
>>21100302I've done it once or twice.
should've known better to buy pork chops from a supermarket run by arabs, when i went to go cook them they smelled like dogshit and were clearly rotten. also i'm retarded and bought baby kale but didn't know what it looked like so i returned it because i thought they packaged arugula instead lmao
I sent an e-mail to nissan because I bought a 66 cent noodle bowl that was missing a flavor packet.They sent me a dozen coupons for free noodle bowls, and like 50 buy one get one free coupons.I still have a noodle bowl once in a while, its been like a decade.

>>21100302only once, I bought some vanilla yogurt at walmart and didn't realize until I ate a spoonful of it that it had splenda in itwasn't even advertised as sugar free or anything like that, in fact it still had real sugar in it too>>21100343this is why I only ever use self checkoutwalmart implemented the 15 item limit on each register but everyone ignored it and eventually the wagies stopped enforcing it lol
when I was maybe 18 or 19 I was making a taco dinner and every hard taco shell in the only box I bought was broken. I was dealing with some shit at the time and this was sort of the straw that broke the camel's back and I got super pissed and wrote them an angry email. They got back to me a day or two later asking for my address to mail a replacement coupon but I didn't give a shit anymore by then and I was embarrassed about losing my shit over some stupid taco shells so I didn't reply.mid twenties I bought a bag of Herr's sour cream and onion chips that had almost no seasoning on them at all. sent them a polite email about it and they sent me a coupon for a free bag, used it a few weeks later and had the same problem. stopped buying Herr's and tried Martin's sour cream and onion next time. It was really good so I sent them an email saying I tried their chips because Herr's has gone to shit and that their chips were great. Martin's sent me a coupon for a free bag even though I wasn't complaining. I always get Martin's now if I feel like sour cream and onion chips, their other flavors are good too but I prefer Utz or Kettle brand usually for other flavors.
Trader Joe's apparently has a policy that if you didn't like something they'll replace it without the package or even a receipt. I've never done it. I also have never sent something back at a restaurant that wasn't obviously the wrong dish, maybe I'm a pussy.
>>21102315However I did recently order a product online that never came, eventually got a refund by disputing the charge. Then months later they sent a special "I'm sorry" version. Redacting the brand so I'm not accused of shilling.
I did, but not necessarily to complain, just out of curiosity as it tasted like the recipe may have changed... No, the recipe didn't change, but according to the their "test" it was exposed to a bit too much heat at one point. I guess that explains the overly fishy smell like too much Worcestershire sauce.They offered to test the bags and asked for my address to replace them, I sent them 2 and they gave me 3 in return. What I received tasted exactly as I had remembered it, leading me to agree with the conclusion that it was spoiled by heat.>>21101410dangerously based
>>21100302I did it once years ago when I tried the Malt-o'-Meal knockoff of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Called the number on the back of the bag because it wasn't as good as the actual General Mills box and thought what did I have to lose? A nice woman answered the hotline, I explained my complaints (essentially the cinnamon sugar flavoring washed off the cereal too quickly and they sogged out in the milk too fast as well) then she looked up the store I purchased them from since of course I didn't have a receipt on hand. A week or two later I got a check in the mail for their purchase price which I thought was cool. Funny enough, nowadays they actually are better now having improved in the taste/texture areas I called about and I buy them regularly as a result.

>>21100302Not food, but I had some deodorant that claimed no stains on you shirts. Of course after a few uses there were stains. I should have taken a picture and complained.
My dad once sent twizzlers a long email (mostly as a joke) complaining about new packaging, and in response they sent him like 20 twizzlers bags kek
>>21102566did I stutter? have a drink and chill the fuck out
>>21104776>swearingLooks like you’re the one who needs to chill out.
I ordered a hot chicken sandwich at the drive thru yesterday and it was $17 for the meal and i was miles away before i opened it and realized it was a plain chicken sandwichI ate it but i will probably still call and complain just because it hurts me physically to have paid $17 for a plain chicken sandwich
>>21100302All the time. I regularly buy steaks eat 90% of them and then refund them. It is free food. I do the same thing with bottles of wine.
>>21101136>realistically they aren't obligated to do shit for you so I assume some day soon this practice will go away.dumbass that isn't why they have these policies it's because giving you a free thing costs them basically $0 but your continued custom is important

I once bought some flour tortillas but when I got home and opened it it was all moldy way before the expiration date. I sent them an email and they sent me a whole box of all their products, salsa, seasoning, taco shells basically everything they sold plus some stuff that wasn't even in the stores yet but just being tested. They also added a pretty cool sombrero type hat I still use, it was a really cool gesture.
>>21100343>waaah my bread is slightly squishedGet over yourself. You're the reason returns are so hard to do with so many disclaimers used to avoid having to do the thingamafuck. Returns are supposed to be for REAL issues, like the shit being fucking moldy or bad before the expiration date.
>>21101239I did this but on the flip side. When the Cheetos chili fusion flavor came out (rip) I sent them an email saying how fucking good they were and that they should make it a staple. They sent me a care package with a little Chester Cheeta doll thing you can hang in your car, a letter, and coupons lol
