He was pretty reasonable about it (though it seemed a little more far-reaching than I would've expected). Said they don't normally carry it but were supplying it for a restaurant that stopped using it so it looks like all his jugs have the same date. They aren't carrying the gallon size anymore so they can't replace it with a new bottle.
I'll be honest...that's a little more than simple oversight if ALL his bottles are past, but it is what it is. Like I said, everything else I ordered was fine.
He's offered a refund on it, which I could take of course. I could also see what his shipping costs are and see if he'd rather do that or just send me $30 worth of other stuff. Or maybe $20 worth since I'm not just gonna incinerate this jug or anything (It's unopened and I've used hot-sauce WELL past its sell by date; it'll be fine) so I'll still be deriving some value out of it.
What say you, CP Barbecue crowd? Should I just take the refund, discount the refund for the fact that I got SOMETHING, or see if he'll send me out some other sauces or something instead?
I'm leaning towards other sauces since the money's spent and I'm not gonna starve over $30....
