Personally, I think most men are obstinate when the mood takes them.
I had better scram.
BTW, my online groceries have just arrived - honestly.
With us a client signed a contract with the terms clearly laid out and easy to read.
Example with boarding animals, we ask for payment in full when the animal is left with us, that gives us time to clear any cheques etc.
If the client returns before the pick up date they try and claim the days not used.
You have then to refer them to the contract and refuse to return the money. It is their choice to collect the animal early
If you wern't stubborn in refusing next time they could easily book more kennel space days than they want . This in turn stops another person wanting that kennel so we loose out
Business is business which is entirely different from social life

Re: Online Deliveries, Supermarkets.
I've never managed to get a delivery slot . I’ve tried a few times with different supermarkets but I must do something wrong because there are never slots available so I just give up.I love a bargain too Swimmy......as you say its a Yorkshire thing

As for meeting up with friends, not going to the supermarket saves me the bother of hiding down one of the aisles when I spot someone I know.
Herbal, I'm with you with Tesco online delivery.
Have to confess though, only the two of us but I still order without fail 3 x 4pint semi-skimmed every week. We eat a lot of cereal and must hold the world record for cups of tea per day!
You do know of course that if you tick the box next to the item in the list view of your basket, they will substitute your milk for another, even if it is larger, i.e. 2 pinter, you still only pay for 1 pint if they don't have it. Of course, if it says at the time of ordering that it is unavailable, this does not apply, but it sounds as though it was available in your case so you are losing out by not ticking for a substitute. You can't lose when it comes to milk!

I find that works in reverse as well.
I have ordered a couple of things which were 'available' yet when the order comes they were missing, and substituted.
I now know how to click ' No substitutions' though.
