Is this right?

[Hurk]

Do you think it's right to go into a store, looking for $75 - $100 of bad products, going to the cashier and saying "I get these free, they are bad, it's in your policy Fresh or Free". Then walk out, without paying a dime.

Wrong - Abusing the system will only ruin it for everyone (people who use the policy properly)

[synaptech]

I wouldn't spend the time, but it is the store's own policy - they should amend the policy of they're losing too much from it. I am usually pretty pissed when I get home and realize an item I just bought is already expired.

[aquariaguy]

If they have that policy, they should expect people will take advantage of it. Some people PM items at Staples, but, they don't just PM ONE item, they try to take it all off the shelf.

Also more power to the person who enlightened us about all those bad products.

Policy vs socially acceptable (Moral)

[UrbanPoet]

I think thats just taking it too far.....
Its meant for people that happen to buy a spoil loaf of bread and then get a replcament for free. Not for ppl to hunt around for expired items then turn it in asking for free itmes.

[Keelie]

any store with such a policy knows there will be people who abuse it, before they even put it in place.

myself i wouldnt do it, but could really care less if someone else wanted to. besides, they are doing the store a favour by finding all those expired goods. that, by the way, probably shouldnt even be there.

i think if i took the time to look for them, and found nearly $100 worth in an hour, i'd think about shopping elsewhere.

[asim99]

i am tired of people considering it abuse
its not like that guy was stealing from the till
he was simply making the store practice what it preaches
i don't think i'll ever do that, but i have no problem with someone else keeping tabs on the store...more power to that person

Don't even bother trying to ask these types of questions in this forum, because people a lot of the people here will do anything to save a cent. It's not about the stores policy, because the store allows it, but consumers should use common sense and be reasonable when the store offers up a policy like this. Do you actually think the store intends for people to come in and look for expired products? That's just being cheap beyond tastefulness. The most us reasonable people can do is snicker and stare at the cheap asses from behind them in line. Shame on you.

DEFINATELY WRONG!

I can't stand people like that. But then I tell myself... perhaps the poor sod lives in a banana crate (with his computer and internet) and can't afford to pay for food?

IMHO. :lol:

[Cruel_Angel]

people like that make me sick. The full out believe that they deserve everything in life, for little to no cost to them. They are the type to wear clothing, and return it, buy tools and return them, they are the same people who bought CD's from HMV burned them, and returned them, same with EBgames...

It's people like that who totally ruin it for everybody else. I still buy alot of video games, and I buy them from EB cause I always have. And I did because I remember I bought a game, and totally hated it, and they allowed me to exchange it for another. Now that policy is gone, and all because of a bunch of jerk off who think that they are so smart that they can buy a game and burn it. Sure you CAN do it, buy why are you doing it? Thats full out robbery. Same goes with returning clothing that you wore.. And this grocery mishap, what a fing jerk this guy is. Instead of actually shopping, he goes hunting for free food. Your not a customer, your a leacher, you leach on to policy, and act as if your in the right. People like that are not customers, they waste the time of employees who should be helping real customers. The person who did this, should be full out ashamed of himself, there are people out there who need to eat, who don't have anything, and this piece of crap thinks hes so damm smart. Karma is a *****, what goes around comes around. the person who did this pissed off alot of people, and all for a few muffins.. I hope he chokes on them.

Who wants to buy spoiled or past expiry food?

I think you are doing the store a service. They should probably pay you for the work that their employees are SUPPOSED to be doing.



If the store wants to sell past expiry foods, then they should put that stuff in a special section with a sign clearly saying "Discounted Prices for Past Expiry Foods".
