This Partially Filled Half-Gallon Of Milk Is Reasonably Priced

   @Michael Bauser: The way I understand it at my store. We take a bad jug off the shelf, empty it, and place it in a pile of other empty jugs. Now, these jugs could have expired, may have been leaking in someone’s shopping cart, or was dropped -what ever- it all goes in the same pile. Then once a week someone goes through with a scan gun and lists up the losses to report. And that’s pretty much it, I work at a larger store, but it’s really not that big of an issue. I know that if someone sees a leaky jug with a noticeable amount missing, 95% of the time they’ll ignore it, 5% of the time they may even tell a lower end kid and let them know. They don’t go to the manager and demand better service, it’s just ridiculous to be so shocked by a thing like that.

   I was at a Winn-Dixie a few weeks ago, and someone had taken an opened and partially empty bag of shredded cheese, put it on a meat tray, shrink wrapped it and put it out for sale at the low,low price of $1.95.

   Many years ago when I worked in a grocery store, all of the ‘shrink’ items would be discarded, and the labels returned for credit from the manufacturer.
