Ohhhh, is that how it works? Maybe I should try that next time. Instead of selling broken hardware as "NOT TESTED, AS IS, PARTS MACHINE" I should sell them as "100% working!" and when someone asks, I'll tell them "sorry, it's not feasible to search through all devices and find the working ones"
- uyzstvqs 6mo agoImagine a supermarket telling you "sorry, it's not feasible to check the expiration dates on all of our products".
- compass_copium 6mo agoI feel like supermarkets more or less do tell you this--I get expired crap all the time if I don't check myself.
- zephen 6mo agoOf course, you can do your own due diligence at the supermarket before you part with the cash.

- kube-system 6mo agoThat essentially is the case. Grocery stores make a best effort to remove expired foods but you can often find expired food on the shelf in the US. Go make a stink about it at the customer service desk and they will probably say exactly that.
- tomcatfish 6mo agoThey… will not say that, because they get a large fine if you report them. Every store I've been too has been deeply apologetic when this has happened (a small handful of times in my entire life).
- joecool1029 6mo agoOutside of a few states and a few product types (baby formula), they won't be fined. But yes, customer service usually swaps it out.
- kube-system 6mo agoIn a lot of the US it is entirely legal to sell expired food. Near me there are grocery stores that specialize in “close to expiration” food, for a discount.
- NekkoDroid 6mo agoRewe in germany also has some things discounted when close to expiration as well, but it has a fat red/white label on it indicating it (usually meat products)
- anticorporate 6mo agoI think where the analogy falls apart isn't whether or not there may be expired products on the shelves, it's whether or not the store will make a reasonable effort to make it right and either refund your money or replace the product with one that's known to be good. Most will. Source: I ditched the techpocalypse at the end of 2024 and now happily work at a grocery store.
