If your not too bothered then that’s ok but by telling them you may get a good supervisor who may just do the right thing,,

IIRC legally the onus is on the store to assume you are telling the truth, but the reality is that they don't and Tesco in my experience are a really bad offender for not believing their customers, I remember a couple of years back my mother had a right game trying to get an apple voucher card replaced that the incompetent cashier at the till failed to validate properly because she was too busy chatting to her co-worker.

I also once bought a bottle of whisky from Asda and discovered I had a security tag on the bottle when I got home, typical scenario of a young person manning the self-checkouts and in my experience young staff in supermarkets can never be arsed to do their job properly so they never bothered to check my bottle when verifying I was over 18! I got home, saw the security tag, and saw it was below the cork so I could still drink the whisky, but figured I would do Asda a favour by going back in and explaining things so they could have their tag back. The cheeky sods demanded I show them proof of purchase! I very nearly told them where to stick my bottle sideways tbh when they did that!

To this day I wonder what would have happened if I had refused to show them proof of purchase, would they accused me of being a shoplifter? Wouldn't put it past them!

i took a bottle back at tescos that wasnt very good left a bad taste in my mouth tasted horrible they give me my money back no problem i have never had a problem at tescos allways sorted

i did go into asda one morning very early off to work saw a a good deal on a bottle last one so i bought it as i whent through the doors the alarm went off nobody challenged me so carried on to work about two hours later then found the security item around the neck cut it off with side cutters couldnt be bothered to go back to asda
