Do stock people ever look at the expiration dates on medicine?
This post is a little off topic, but I was in Shaw’s today and had to get some Tylenol for my son and I would say at least 95% of the medicine was expired or within a week of expiring. Are you kidding me? I realize that the stock people don’t make much money, but you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to take a quick look at a few of them. If 2 out of 3 have expired, maybe one should use some common sense and look at the rest of the ones your putting on the shelf, chances are everything from the box you are getting your stock from is about to expire or already has. This is the second time it has happened in Shaw’s; I just figured it was an oversight the first time. I took at least 15 expired Tylenol packages to the Pharmacy previously and they just looked at me with two heads. I’m glad I don’t get my prescriptions filled there; god knows what you would get! I feel that if you hire someone to stock and they happen to be in the medicine aisle, it should be required to look at the expiration dates. Of course they can’t look all of them, but maybe every 5th one, it only takes a second. Just my two cents………………..
