Expired products on shelf at Sam's Club

Ideally, I would agree that the store should catch these stale
products before they are sold. The same, however, could be said for
the consumer.

Just because you may choose to drive a great deal away, does not mean
you would be due any more compensation than someone living "around the
corner." I would be surprised if they offered anything more. Please
let us know if they do.

"I feel the store needs to do a better job in checking these items"

In a perfect world there would never be expired products on the shelf.
It happens. Humans stock the shelves, there are going to be
oversights.

However, there is no reason as a consumer that you can not check dates
as you buy your groceries. You should do that anyways, especially on
the fresh, refrigerated stuff.

It would be frustrating to buy something and then find out it was
going to expire in 2 days as well.

I would be more proactive about checking dates especially if I know
that getting out there and back is such a hassle.

Stores stock thousands of items daily. At any given time there will be
expired products on the shelf. There is just no way to be on top of
all of them.

I would just dump the product, keep the containers and the receipt
with the date and return it when you make it back out there again.
Save the extra trip.

The store does not owe you the cost of returning it.

weird they were out of stock one day, the next day they had expired
stock.

I would have to say the manager did exactly as he should.

If you choose to shop an hour from your home, not check dates when you
buy something, then drive home only to see it then that is your fault.
