If you follow what I said, you will have a full refund.
In this SE world, you can follow methods by the letter and still fail if you don't use your own brain.
If they trying to partial refund, insist that everything got soaked with vinegar.

If they ask for a picture of the groceries, just throw a glass of water in your bag. Simple.

Okay thanks im going to place the order this week ill let you know how it goes.

Would they not require the goods to be Included In the photo clearly demonstrating they're damaged?

You'd need to Photoshop It.

I was never asked once for pictures.
Since it's food, you can easily say you threw everything away since Vinegar has a strong smell.

But I wonder how hard would it be to empty out the vinegar bottle in the sink, break it, and then throw some water a lil bit everywhere...

Okay I request the refund and they sent me an email asking for a picture so I broke a random bottle and told them the vinegar was toxic and spilling everywhere. So they issued me a refund pretty easy thanks bro for the advice. Definitely going to attempt this again once I run out of groceries.

You can find these in packs online. You use the bags instead of a basket get some items, ideally your most expensive ones and put them in the bottom of the bag. Then put the plastic on top, and get some cheap items that take up a lot of space like bread, chips, bottled water.

You can go to the self-checkout, but make sure to leave your bags where you load your groceries before scanning. So move them from your bag, scan them, and into the bagging area. When you have paid, move the items you paid for back into the bag and leave. Ideally pay in cash to be safe. If you've done this right, the camera that points down onto the scanner shouldn't see anything under the false bottom of the bag.

You can also go to the cashiers, but try to go to one that doesn't have a bagger, and say you'll just throw the items back into your own bag. In one instance I heard of, a cashier insisted on bagging and noticed the items under the bottom. Just feign ignorance and pay for the whole bag.

I have heard very good things about this method and it's ability to be used consistently. It is lower risk than concealing items on your person or doing a walkout. The downside is that you can't get a ton of groceries at once since the most you can carry is two bags, you have to spend money, and you have to be careful about managing your bags so you don't mess up at the checkout. One could probably construct something  in their bag to make this more reliable.

But do note, one of the biggest red flag for loss prevention is people putting items in their reuseable bags, and people doing shady stuff at the self-checkout. Just act normal, place your bottom items in quickly, and pay

Also, like any in-person SE, dress nice but not too nice. Try to look like you have some money or are too square to be doing anything that's frowned upon. Don't do the same stores over and over again.
