I wanted a can of sardines so that I could make brandade for our Christmas pupu party.
At the checkout, the guy at the register scanned the can I had in my basket then went to the back of the store.
He said..."this can is expired"...
I was bummed because when I looked at their shelves they did not have any other cans of sardines...
Then he said, "do you need the can of sardines?"
I said, "yes that is why I was gonna buy a can"
He said..."if you want, I'll give you the can at no cost because it is expired, though I cannot guarantee the safety of the contents"
Thank you Santa!

I really appreciate reading your posts these many years, they are very insightful. I would just like to say that is the most beautifully packaged can of sardines that I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing.
score! cute that he told you he won't be responsible for safety.
There's a CVS (Longs) in our building whose pharmacist assistant is great. I was buying some eye drops and she said the bottle would be expiring in February 2022 so did I still want it.
Another time, I went to the 7-11 on Bishop and bought a couple of boxes of Pocky because a guy in our office has a birthday on 11/11. When I got back to my office, I saw the both boxes were expired so I went right back and asked for a refund. Would you believe the b*%^&%clerk didn't want to refund and said I should have checked before!!! I even had the receipt showing it was purchased within the hour!!! She did give me the refund. Hoo mama, if she didn't......
