Very undercooked loaf from Sainsburys Local

[tomskip]

Bought a walnut loaf from Sainsbos Local near the Plough today. It is virtually raw inside! Would you take it back tomorrow? How can I prove that it isn't baked - I feel I need some Bake Off terminology! I can taste uncooked flour and hideous squidgyness but is this enough to warrant a refund? So annoying as it was to have been an integral part of our main meal today (yes, First World problems).

I actually meant to post this in the lounge but don't know how to change that.

Please man/women/other gender up and speak to the shop. Try a "hello can I speak to the manager/supervisor". "Disappointed that you failed your normal high standards".

It will probably get an immediate result, but you can also go to their complaints e-mail address.

If that doesn't work I suggest a sit in, or out, banners, letter to the CEO/your MP, local Whatsapp group, petition to parliament, leave the EU.

Not sure why I am spoon-feeding you this, maybe its a generation things. It's also nice to give praise from time to time.

Meanwhile a more important thing to discuss, why are the major supermarket French pastries so horrible. You get a nice coffee on the brew, the sun is shining, you are looking out towards Dulwich Hamlet thinking you are on the continent then you are hit by this solid doughy thing. Sadly I vote with my feet.

Avoid supermarkets.

I'm not sure if you were trying to get a first or second rise out of this malumbu?....I suppose there was always a chance it may have fallen flat as a pancake. In anycase, I agree that the OP was being a bit flakey....

ask the shop.

Sorry for the confusion Cat. As it is sometimes difficult to set the tone on posts I add something a little self deprecating ie telling people not to whinge, and then whinging myself. It's supposed to lighten things, and hopefully appear less confrontational or pompous. I had a couple of trolls who liked picking apart my posts but they seemed to have retired.

There is a serious point of going to social media rather trying to sort out directly. An example from pre-social media days:

The council are consulting on a new bus route and stops and are knocking on doors. They go to the affluent area; oh don't be silly they don't need buses there.

They go to the working class area "excuse me sir, would you like a new bus stop outside your house" The response is a punch (ie no).

They go to the middle class area, with the same question, and the person answering mumbles something in reply, then writes to the Times and/or their MP complaining about the proposed bus stop.

Its an analgy and I'm not advocating you attack the staff in Sainsburys or other confrontation.

No confusion. I just wanted try out some pastry puns to honest;)

Oh you devil, but we are straying into a private conversation. Perhaps others may have a view....

Did you take it back? Otherwise you could have toasted it.
