Afternoon all.
I was in Waitrose earlier to buy a small piece of Stilton and some smoked salmon as a treat for someone very special. I only wanted the "cheap" smoked salmon, the packs of the pieces that you can get for cooking, rather than the slices, if you know what I mean.
The first pack I picked up was labelled "use by 17th July" which is today. I drew this to the attention of a member of staff who was nearby. I thought she was going to say, "Thanks for pointing that out" or at least say "Oops, that should be reduced for quick sale", but no! She said "yes, that's fine" I queried this, as "best before " on my planet, should mean that it should have been "eaten" by yesterday (before anyone says anything, no I'm not neurotic about these things, but think that they should at least be reduced in price!)
I was a bit distracted and didn't bother to argue, but found another pack stating the use by date as 20th July.
Am I being unreasonable, or do you think that the item should have at least been reduced if not removed?
