Had the worst Friday of my career installing glue-down vinyl plank

Last Friday I was working a commercial job in downtown Portland, about 1,200 square feet of glue-down LVP. Everything was going smooth until I noticed the adhesive was not tacking up right after about 2 hours. Turns out the supplier gave me a batch that was past its expiration date and I had already laid down half the floor. Had to peel up 600 bucks worth of material and redo it all on Saturday. Has anyone else had a supplier screw them over with bad adhesive and not offer to make it right?

Supplier gave me" ... you didn't check the date before you started?

Did you check the date, @logan_young29, or did you just assume it was good 'cause it looked shiny? I've definitely done that before, now I'm the guy squinting at expiration codes like a detective.

Was it really that bad though? Sounds like a rough weekend, but not exactly the end of the world. I get it, and @matthewmartin's right to point out checking dates, but sometimes you just gotta roll with it.
