.......or just really cynical? Just opened a large new tub of butter- like- spread and saw it was already out of date and in fact when it was delivered, we only had three days to consume it in. I'd expect a few weeks on the use by date at least.
Rang the supermarket (is it libel to say which?) who asked me what I expected them to do about it? How about apologise and refund me?? They then said that it was policy for the staff picking the food to pick food with a long shelf life and that an email would go to the store concerned. Funnily enough he did not take any of my details to do this.
Do the supermarkets pick food near its sell by date on purpose? You do have to wonder.
