Much of retail is like that. Lowest common denominator employees who
just want to show up and get paid for "hanging out" whether they do any
productive work or not. Fortunately those with a decent work ethic get
spotted quickly and promoted.

I work in Auto Parts retailing and about the only thing we sell with an
expiration date is starting batteries. And the stores are set up for the
display rackes to be loaded from the back - so the older stock is always
faced outward.

Our batteries that have been on the shelf for more than 12 months (there's
a date sticker on each one) are converted to "Used" and sold at bargain
pricing with a 30 day warranty rather than the original two or three
year warranty. Of course the warranty period does not mean that the item
will "drop dead" upon expiry. I sold a "used" (expired) battery to my
nephew four years ago. Last week he called me and asked if I had another
as his, he thinks, is getting wonky and may need replacing.
