We can all agree that to get a good deal, there sometimes must be consequences, whether that involves price, location, or quality. But it selling expired food really a gain, even at £1.99? A recent High School student had reported to her local teachers and friends that her Chicken Shop down the road was selling out of date fizzy drinks, and once she acknowledged this to the owner of the shop, he made the impression to take the bottle down-however placed it back in its original position immediately as the student turned her back to walk out the door.
This is not the only example of current “dodgy” or “filthy” described foods or scandalous behaviours spotted in regional newsagents. Parents are becoming highly concerned with the quality of after-school snacks their children are indulging on a daily basis. “Kids are better off buying from somewhere they actually know is safe, selling products in which they’re aware of what’s included inside the tin. An extra £2 is worth the prevention of food poisoning!” At what extent to you agree?
If you or someone close to you have experienced similar situations to this, warn someone, as this is in fact unlawful. This includes labelled bottles printed as “99p” however being charged £1.20. This doesn’t have to be small, local shops either, this can include certain bigger brands or companies that do not meet acceptable expectations.
