Re: Handheld shopping...
"They are ‘supposed’ to pick shopping in a condition/with dates that you would pick yourself."
I once got told off for taking "one from the back". The fact that it is refrigerated goods and a shelf life nearly two weeks later didn't seem to enter into the discussion.
Jobsworth told me put it back and take one from the front, and since I'm nice, I did so.
But since I also have a long childhood history of being an obnoxious brat, I waited a few minutes until he'd gone, went back, replaced the thing, switched all of the product around, and then duly took one from the front.
I wonder how long it took before a shelf stocker noticed?
