To want to swap a mouldy apple?

So, whilst shopping today I bought some apples, loose, and when I got home I realised one of them has some mould on that I didn't spot in the shop. AIBU to take this mouldy apple back and ask to swap it for a fresh one?

I know someone who returned a tin of tomatoes because there was too muh skin and not enough tomato.

I've taken a bag of satsumas back to Tesco because one of them was mouldy before the best before date and had it swapped for a bag of non-mouldy satsumas. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect retailers, especially the massive huge profit making ones like Tezzers, to sell decent produce.

But then I demand the cost of my phone calls to be reimbursed whenever I have to call banks or customer services etc if the reason for the call is not my fault. Grin

i got my petrol reimbursed when i returned a faulty (stone containing) hot cross bun to Tesco, at AA rate of 40p per mile, and i got it Grin

I love how some posters are jeering at how "trivial" some of the complaints are.

At the start of last year, our weekly food budget was about £22 a week if I remember correctly. So moudly fruit, a pizza which ended up being just a bread base - yes, you can all laugh at how "pathetic" some of the complaints are, but really, you're laughing from your own positions and not really considering why some people get so irate at food unfit for human consumption/more expensively labelled/whatever was sold.

I have returned moudly items before. I've also complained when stuff has gone off quicker than it should have e.g. I once bought the weekly milk from a local garage whose use by date was the next week. By the next day it was off, with little bits of off milk blobs floating in it.

Now, I'd just chuck it and buy some more on my way home from work. But that day I walked 20 minutes back to the garage and got it replaced using the receipt from the day before.

Pathetic? Well, it depends on your view.

Hmm

I used to work at Sainsburys and remember one woman returning a bottle of milk that'd gone off before its use by date. She could have left it out of the fridge for six hours for all we knew. She then asked for a free box of cereal because she'd poured said milk on her kids' breakfasts that morning and had to throw it out. Talk about brass neck Grin

I took a rose back to Tesco a couple of weeks ago because it was droopy the next day (the others in the bunch were fine though)
