Throwing away stuff is a loss for stores. They don't want to and make a lot of efforts not to.
The thing is that it is extremely difficult to impossible, especially when consumers demand full shelves all the time.
On the other hand, expired items on shelves is just a shoddy practice.
- iterateoften 2y ago> especially when consumers demand full shelves That’s the issue. The quality of our food is nose diving for appearances. Make regulations that benefit the health of the consumer instead of how many boxes of the same product a corporation can leave sitting on a shelf. If grocery stores have to change and adapt, so be it.
- mytailorisrich 2y agoIt's not about appearances, it's about supply. When we go to a store or supermarket we want them to have everything we want to buy, whatever the quantity we want to buy, and when they are out of stock we are very unhappy and that hits their reputation as well.
- Suppafly 2y ago> especially when consumers demand full shelves all the time I feel like stores gave up on that post-covid supply chain issues and have never went back to being full. Due to how many options grocery stores carry, they usually have some version of what you want, but they are often sold out of specific brands/sizes still.
