Do you ever return fruit or meat to the store?

[pectacon]

Seems like more than half the time the fruit I buy at the grocery store is lousy. My mother will return stuff like fruit or chicken if it's already spoiling the day after she bought it. Now I pinch a penny (notice what site I'm on lol) but I rarely bother returning something under $10 if it requires a physical trip somewhere I wasn't headed anyway. I know that adds up but I really hate extra errands.

I've never tried to return any kind of food item.

I do return things esp. meat.  If that meat smells bad when I get it home yes it goes back.  I figure I pay good money for something and it's not worth eating yes they deserve to get it back.  It also helps the stores be more aware if they have a problem with  their suppliers.

I return anything that is not up to my expectation up to a week after purchasing it. I have no problem taking it back at any time because, it seems, there is always something I need from the store. I have taken shirts back within three months of purchasing if they lose a button or wear out at any point. I took a blender back after 11 months of use because it stopped working at my level of expectation. I had a scooter battery that wore out in eighty nine days (ninety day warranty), called Advanced Autoparts, and they have a new battery waiting for me (batteries should last much longer). I do not abuse anything that I buy so if it doesn't last as long as it should, I will return it. I have had sunglasses last twenty years and tried to return them.

I haven't returned any fruit or meats. Now because of the virus they're not accepting foods.

Me too but I never return it.

I've never returned fruit or meat to the grocery store, mostly because I don't want to handle the items once I find out they are rotten or spoiled. I stopped buying fresh meat at the Walmart near us. It was either too stringy or almost rotten underneath or too tough, too fatty, etc. Even if there's nothing visibly wrong with Walmart's meat, I find that it's just not as high of a quality as my taste buds want. So we get all of our fresh meat at Costco. We've never had a complaint about their meat before. i can live with Walmart's ugly fruits and veggies. They're still good if you look past their irregularities. And if I want pretty fruit and veggies, I just go to Publix for their fruit.

No, I only saw that on an episode of the Golden Girls, lol.

I return an expired beef roast once. I didn't notice the expiration date.  I just told them I wanted a different one. I suppose they put it back on the shelf and sold it to some other oblivious shopper.

Once I returned a watermelon that my husband bought.  It cost 20.00 I was like is there gold up in there.  The store took it back fine.  Didn't let my husband shop again.  Returned a pie it was expensive  and tasted awful. I think especially  now  stores will take things.

I have never returned fruit or meat but I have returned dairy products before. Years ago, I bought moldy sour cream twice from a store and returned them both. When I purchased it for the 3rd time I opened and checked it in the store to make sure it hadn't spoiled.

No, I never return fruit, but if the meat smells when I open the pack I will return it.

No. Why would it spoil the day after she bought it? Unless it was already out of date when she took it home.  I am surprised they take it back. But I have seen our Walmart take back some pretty insane returns. Depends on who is working customer service at the time I guess.

I think you have that backwards.  Esp now stores are not even taking returns at all for the most part.  They just started recently taking returns at Walmart. I would never think of returning food that I just did not like the way it tasted. Unless it was made in the bakery and tasted like they made it wrong. Guess it would depend on the price as well. I don't usually keep grocery store receipts.

I have never returned groceries or anything else for that matter
