I can't agree with that at all.
If he supplied the tiles, then yes, it would be his responsibilty.
Or if he DID notice, then he should have told the customer.
But to say he SHOULD have noticed is wrong.
You can't expect him to check every tile as it comes out the box for any possible shade difference. As I said, even if it looks obvious after it is grouted, that doesn't mean it was noticeable beforehand.
As for checking batch numbers, that is down to the customer when he picks them up from B&Q.
But even that doesn't mean much.
Half the time B&Q have NO batch number.
And the other half of the time, the different shades/sizes are coming out of one box.
