Now I am irritated b/c my shop was refused b/c I didn't do it right. I think I did do it right so I wrote back to the MSC to clarify.
Wouldn't you agree that if I asked for and purchased an item it had to have been "carried?" Or could I have imagined that I bought it? It tasted good. Or perhaps I covertly stocked some product I brought from home and paid the cashier to add it to my checkout total.
However, there may be some technicality (those Germans) that I am missing and I will end up eating it. (ha ha get it?)
