Can I Sue The Supermarket?

Re: Can I Sue The Supermarket?

What does he deserve?

What was the cost of getting sick for a couple days? This mentality is what is wrong. I completely agree he should get what he deserves, too many people (not saying you Dopeboy) feel they deserve more than they actually do.

Notice I said if he missed work, required medical attention, etc... None of us know, necessarily, the whole story, and for everyone to tell him not to sue is premature in my opinion. It's his choice and I think this mentality is what is wrong. Of course he should get what he deserves. But none of us know what that is besides him. Let him decide, all doors are open for him... don't tell him not to sue.

I wouldn't sue in this situation, FYI, assuming I wasn't seriously sick. I'd definitely talk to store management, though.

Yep, skimmed over that, my bad.

I can't speak for anyone else but I am basing my opinion off of the assumption that if this were any sort of a serious illness, he would have mentioned it and in all likelihood would not be posting about it the following day in which case I can't see any possible scenario worth suing about.

I'm sorry, but I always check the date of EVERYTHING I buy at the food store. When I would rotate stock at Wal*Mart I'd constantly find stuff 1-2 years past expiration.

Meat from 2007, pause.

Can we get pics of the meat, pause.

Yeah I saw a lot of stuff also that was expired when I worked at Kroger.

My wife tells me to just get stuff from the back, but a lot of the people who stock do not rotate. And you will find the new stuff in the front and stuff from the Ice Age in the back.

Without knowing any better, I am going to guess we are talking about a dried chinese style shelf stable sausage, not fresh and probably not even from china (does the USDA even let in imports of chinese meat?).

Anyway, I always check dates on the refrigerated/fresh stuff I buy, but I can't say I ever think to check stuff off the shelves.

Bring it back and talk to the manager.

And then next time look at expiration dates on everything; I sure as hell do.

Also, did it for sure say "2007" or did it say "07"?

It said sell by May 2007. I feel a little better now. Like I said I am just going to let it slide. Probably won't shop there anymore. I'm just gonna take as a lesson to be learned and be more cautious and look at the due dates on everything I buy this time.

Re: Can I Sue The Supermarket?

As much as I dislike Wal-Mart, when I worked there in the produce they had us pull everything a day before the sell by date.

It's good and bad, they throw away A LOT of good food.

Off topic, but if you ever buy bananas grab some that are singles or double. We were told to throw away those because they didn't want to rack littered with 1 and 2 bunches.

Actually now, Walmart gives away their expired food to the food bank to be shipped to Africa and other 3rd world countries.

Re: Can I Sue The Supermarket?

My family bought 2 packages of Chinese pork sausages a few days ago and we got sick off of it. I cooked it the same day I bought it & didn't look at the due date when I cooked it. I checked the due date the next day and it said "sell by May 2007." I am not money hungry to sue them but I feel any store that sells 3 year old food is doing me dirty. I still have a reciept and another unopened package of the sausag. I also have the packaging of the one I opened. Is there anything I can do? I feel ripped off.

Wouldn't 3 yr old pork sausage look a certain way -- a way that would make you think "I probably shouldn't eat this" lol.

Ex - Offtopic...Got comp'd on a meal from Carrabba's on Friday. The wife and I had to wait about 25 minutes for our Chicken Marsala order, and when it did finally come out -- a few bites into the meal -- I notice a piece of green gum on the outer rim of the plate.

Pointed it out to the waiter and he took $16 off the bill. The manager came by too, and wanted to know if there was anything else he could do. He offered to take it back, and give me a new one for free. I told him I have a 2yr old son who's here with us (wife had taken him to the potty at this time), and that I can't afford to wait another 15 minutes for food while he begins to get continusouly un-ruly; get it right the first time...
