> Hmm, this donut's a bit stale, I'm not prepared to pay anything for it thanks Mr.Tesco.

You go to the customer service desk, say "This doughnut is stale" show your receipt along with the partly eaten doughnut, then get a full refund or exchange as you prefer.

If you're doing it daily the rules will change. :)

>> for jobs where the service makes a significant difference

This is irrelevant. See quote from comment you're replying to.

> Sometimes you get a shitty waiter, that's life, but now you get to unilaterally decide you'll get that service for free?

No, the waiter still gets paid.

When you eat out and get shit food, there is a bone or something in your food, you usually can just tell them and they'll do something so you don't pay the full amount, it's common courtesy.

Your examples are not very good. Most grocery stores will let you take back bad produce within a reasonable amount of time.

I've gotten burned a few times when buying bags of things like potatoes and onions and not seeing a bad one in the middle that had started to infect the others. Never had a problem returning. Aldi even gives money back plus a new item
