Overheard a wild theory about grocery store expiration dates

I was buying milk yesterday and the cashier said dates are just a suggestion to get you to buy more. This got me thinking about all those videos claiming stores profit from fear. Some people even believe it's a scheme to cut down on waste on purpose. Now I look at my fridge in a whole new way.

Tbh it's more about the mental load of always checking dates than the money for me.

The mental load of always checking dates, @the_val, sucks.
