This is why I never pick up the first box on the shelf

When gro­cery  shop­ping, do you just grab the first box on the front of the shelf or do you dig deep in for a newer “untouched by mankind” box?

    HAHAHAH — sorry too funny!

    I typ­i­cally just grab and go but with taco shells…

    After hav­ing 3–4 packs in a row that were bro­ken, every time I buy taco shells I open the box whey bag­ging my gro­ceries. If they are all bro­ken, I just tell the cashier that I am get­ting another one.

    Also — store prices have to be increased when they have to throw out so much dated prod­uct — just for all you out there com­plain­ing about high prices. My par­ents own a store where peo­ple would grab at the back because the expiry was LONGER — not that the front prod­uct was expired. Now they don’t restock until all the ini­tial prod­uct is gone. Things like milk etc, I do check the date — but other things are so full of preser­v­a­tives that they never go bad!

    that hap­pened to me a few weeks ago (not quite as bad though). i went to the store and exchanged it for a new one. i opened the new one before i left and it was bro­ken too! i looked through almost all the boxes (5 or 6) and then gave up and got a dif­fer­ent type. but yes i too take from behind, how­ever, that doesn’t always mean you will get the bet­ter stuff
