Bug-gate aibu

[Cantshedmymuffintop]

So today I bought a salad meal deal from a well known shop. Took it back to the office and was munching away when I noticed half, yes half an insect under a lettuce leaf 😣

I have no idea whether I ate half the insect or not?!

Anyway I took it back to the store & spoke to the manager who was lovely. He took my details, gave me a refund and said he would contact head office. Just had a phone call back, they said they are going to give me £10 gift card as an apology. Part of me feels £10 is a bit insulting. Am I being unreasonable?

Refund AND a voucher?

I'd of charged you more for the extra protein

What did you want? Your weekly shop for free? 🤔

Presumably this was bought from Harrods Food Hall?

Bloody hell. A £10 voucher for a ruined salad?! Yes, YABU. That's more than enough. I'd have expected a refund and nothing else. It's a salad, it happens.

Salad - grown in earth. Bugs in vicinity. Occupational hazard. You have not been made ill.
You've been AMPLY compensated, really.
Let it go, now.

YABU they didn’t even have to refund you. It actually sounds like you received very good customer service in this instance.

Whats with all the recent handwringing over Mother Natures protein sprinkles?

Its a bug, you didnt eat it, you got a refund and a voucher.

Your life goes on.

Insert my grandmothers usual spiel about others not even having a salad.

Sounds fair enough to me. What would have been enough?

No £10 is perfectly suitable compensation

This has happened to me twice with caterpillars... first time was boots salad... I got a 25 point voucher! Second time was a sandwich from Tesco.. again I got a voucher but only a tenner lol

Just to be clear I don't know if I ate the 'earwig' or not. There was only half a body found in the lettuce leaf. Clearly eating an earwig is considered a first world problem then. Hey ho. Personally I thought it was pretty gross and put me off shopping there.
