Poor customer relations and return policy.

I went into Ithe SFB ndulge this morning to return a 900g loaf of Ciabata bread which had gone mouldy very quickly. We purchased the loaf on Wed and by Thurs it was starting to mould. We are regular customers and this has never happened before- the rapid growth can only be from a contaminated batch of flour or poor hygiene habits. The loaf was stored in a cool, dry place, and out of the sun. I requested a replacement, which was denied by the manager. All the labeling was still on the pack. .... It's worthwhile noting that the quality of the bread itself has deteriorated. The product of late has had more of a crumbly, dry texture, rather than being moist and elastic..... Otherwise, the store is quite good for dairy products.

Reviewer Update
I am now ading to my review, 7 months on. Indulge, also known as "Milk and Bread" clearly has hygiene issues in their baking area. Their breads mould quickly, compared to other bakeries and grocery in-house bakeries. The bread is good and the value is there, but if you don't finish their breads quickly, they start to sprout(mould): Sometimes in as soon as the 3rd day, sometimes longer. I'd like to see them take some action on this, since aside from this issue, which has nothing to do with health related hygiene, it's a great store that provides value here in an otherwise overpriced town.
