Bought a gallon of organic milk from the front register area. Got home and found the "sell by date to be 9 days past. I can understand 1 maybe 2 days past the sell by date but not 9.
So......... bought the milk at7:15 pmI called the store at 9:17 and spoke with the "store manager" was told she had been off the last two days and was not responsible. Ok, I get it, but that means she was there the first 7 days it was past the sell by date.
Our conversation ended after only 4 minutes because I could not take her blaming the stock person, the workers, the fact she was not there for two days and it was somehow NOT her responsibility.
She is the manager, responsible for all that happens while she is there. After thinking about this, she is accountable not just responsible.
The FDA sets the sell by date to protect consumers. It is not just some arbitrary date that has no meaning but has been proven to be a safe date that a product can be sold by. 9 days past the sell by date is inexcusable and such a "whatever attitude" is completely unacceptable.
I would shop anywhere else till they are inspected by Maricopa health department again.
FYI been in the Food industry for over thirty years.
PART TWO:
Today is 10/31/16
I went to Fry's today to return me gallon of milk. The young lady at the customer service was so understanding Agreed this is how people get hurt. Was so sorry this happened. And yet went to the same cooler to get a new milk and...............another gallons of milk dated 10/19/16 so now it's 11 days past. REALLY!
