[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people who are like this are doing it on purpose. It takes more thought and effort to buy the wrong kind of milk (assuming the right kind was available). It’s her (childish, stupid) way of saying “f you, I don’t want to shop for groceries.”

Fortunately the grocery one is easily solved. Do the order online and get her to pick it up. Then figure out how to rebalance something else to make up for the ordering time.

Everyone has forgotten an Amazon return. They’re a PITA. If you shop at Whole Foods, you can do them there now which is handy. [/quote]

+1.  And also, for Amazon returns, you can call them and see if they will still take the return after the deadline.  Sometimes you can get all or part of your money back, or do a swap for another size at no charge.  It’s pretty easy to make the call and see what they say.  [/quote]

I have also had this experience, if it is an item they are still selling there is often flexibility.

Set up a standing grocery order to be picked up at WF and when you or DW go to pick it up, you can do the Amazon return. 2 birds, 1 trip. Getting groceries packed for pickup is free, no reason not to do so unless you are unwilling to give up your grievance, OP.

Skim milk vs. 2%, come on, dude! And return it to the store, using gas and requiring the store to toss it? Like rubbing a puppy's nose in the puddle. Really think about the kind of person you want to be and the character you want to display to the world, esp your children. Is being rigid and sanctimonious the kind of parent and spouse you want to be? Shaming vs. solution oriented? The coffee is an issue, but the milk and pasta are just silly. You may not be 100% neurotypical yourself with this degree of OCD about slight differences in milk products, OP. Consider that. [/quote]
