You buy a jug of yogurt (~$5) from your local store, let's say 5-10 minute drive from home. You get home and put your groceries away. You go to use your delicious yogurt a few days later and notice the yogurt is spoiled (smell/taste) but was still originally sealed when you opened it and has not met its printed expiration date. Your fridge isn't faulty or anything. It was just a bad jug of yogurt.
What would you do?
-
$5 for yogurt?
-
Take it back and swap it for a multipack of banana and chocolate flakes Crunch Corner.
-
Rub it all over your tits, belly, knob and balls. Dance round naked in the rain, maybe sacrifice a rabbit.
-
I'd probably just toss it
-
Start a war against the country where jogurt was invented and show them what happens when they try to fux wit Elmorro.
-
Same thing I do with the yogurt I never open and let expire in my fridge. You could dump it on some rocks, the larger the better, and have them grow moss from the acidity and enzymes of the yogurt.

I coulda swore you was a nerd

That's exactly what I did but a couple friends told me I was stupid for throwing away money like that. I mean, they do have a point but I just figured it wasn't worth the 20 minute round trip for yogurt.

Time is money, friend.

That's what I'm saying. For a $5 tub of yogurt, is it really worth your time to go back to the grocery store and deal with a teenager who doesn't give a shit about it?
-
I'd just cut my loses and throw it away. Sometimes things just don't work out.
-
So with that being said, would you call the person that decided to go to the store and try to get a refund a tight ass?
-
Yesterday I argued over the 10c overcharge on a shot of espresso for 5 minutes. I'd be straight on the phone giving the store the hard word and demand compensation for a) a faulty product and b) wasting my time. Almost always it works in your favour and you walk away with more than what you originally went to buy.
Also, in response to the specific yoghurt question (fuck the yank spelling); yoghurt is disgusting so I don't see how a bit of mould would make it any worse.
-
Oh hey, it's that guy. The, "give me something for free so I'll shut up" guy. Ten cents? Seriously dude.
I don't know if I'd call them a tight-ass, Alex, maybe just an ass.
-
If your price board says $3.00 and you try to charge me $3.10, I'll argue over the difference. It's more for the love of arguing than the love of 10c.
-
Take that shit back and throw it at the first employee you see.
-
It's still in your fridge isn't it?

As someone who consumes his body weight in Greek/Bulagarian yoghurt per day, I feel your pain of finding your spoiled treasure. I will say, this surely has absolutely nothing to do with the shop you bought it from, unless the shop in questions produces this yoghurt themselves. If it was a small local store, I would possible call them to let them know, incase it was a bad batch, before a whole bunch of people waste their $5 and then wrongly point their anger at the store in question.
If your local store is a Walmart type piece, then I wouldn't give a shit.
Ultimately, you just have to put this down as an unfortunate event, as I'm sure this rarely happens. (never once happened to me) If it happens again from the same shop/same brand of yoghurt, yeah I might start putting ringing some people up asking what is going on.

Chalk it up as bad luck, toss it, go back about my day.
Let's just say by chance I'm a really big fan of yogurt, and I really love this brand and it's an important part of my life for some reason... Then I may write an email to said company producing the yogurt and say something the affect of "hey, I'm not trying to get anything free here, but I bought some yogurt from X store on X day, and even though the seal wasn't broken, when I opened it on X day it was spoiled. The listed expiration is X. I eat your product every day, and just wanted to let you know as it pertains to quality control and if I were in your shoes I'd want to know too, because I know some people would make a big stink about it on social media and such, and I'm sure you want to prevent that kind of thing." yadda yadda yadda blaw blaw blaw, just to make them aware that they might have some faulty lids or something.
If said company gets a lot of these kind of complaints they may look into it.
-
I would toss it in the trash. You know, the place where all yogurt belongs.

Gotta get your dairy some how. How can someone even hate yogurt!?
