Yeah, what to do ? we simply see them and forget after some days.
Again the same process gonna repeat.,

Re# 3370652-4              
these vendors are not feeling guilty and shame.
whenever we buy some tea/coffee/snacks we are believing more hope/honest/truthiness from vendor for quality but we have been cheated.
from birth they should have some common sense. they are playing with others life. idiot guys.
