Jan. 7th, 2009 08:15 amA small confession. So long as I don't have to do them often, or the day after truck-day, I love doing outdates. I enjoy chucking nine billion expired or almost expired items into a cart with no regard for how they'll land. I love finding something fantastically old and gross and sharing the details with someone when they ask and yeah, sometimes when they don't. There are a few exceptions to this, and I hate doing outdates when I'm supposed to watch the front register, too, because that's just asking too much. Either let me commit fully to the random number codes [although, um, I can only read the really obvious and the 9B types. I'm too lazy to fully work out the ones with the 'now add however many weeks we tell you to and do the math' types and I hate the ones where you need a decoder ring to figure it out. I say they should only come in the two types I know how to read. Idiot proof [Best by: January 20, 2009] or 9A, as anything else is too damn tricky. I'm looking at you, Mars! I don't have time to do complicated [or not so complicated] math just to figure out the Snickers bar in my hand died six weeks ago. Make it so! easy!
