When was the last time anyone paid $9.99 for Bacon? Albertson's had Bacon on sale - buy one and get two for free. I thought it was an amazing deal since Bacon has been running $3 to $4 plus a package. I thought it was odd that there was no pricing to be found and they had so much in stock considering this great sale. Until I got to the register and noticed the clerk just rang up $9.99 for the one I had to pay for. I asked her when was the last time you paid $9.99 for Bacon? Never! that's the answer. Do they really think people are that stupid? The cashier wouldn't even look at me or respond to my question. I let her know that I did expect her to communicate my comments to her leadership.
This particular store does not remove outdated products from their shelves. I have purchased many items that expired - especially in dairy section. I was told they were going to take care of it and seemed concerned. The very next time I went in - same thing. Expired product on the shelf. Especially when they have their buy 10 for $10 sales. Watch the expiration dates on those products.
I purchased hair dye, which I usually wouldn't purchase from a grocery store but was looking for a particular color. It was so old, the bottle decinigrated during the application. The manufacturer of the product said it should have been removed from the shelf three years prior.
The only reason I go to Albertsons, its close to my home and I use their pharmacy.
Albertsons has been closing stores all over town - guarantee they will be closing even more until they are totally out of business, especially if they are going to continue with this practice. They are surrounded by competition and need to wake up.
