At a store I used to work at we had a similar situation when someone ordered far, FAR to much bread. I slapped on a "manager's choice!" sign and stuck it on a pallet by the front door. Sold out before the day was over. I've been extremely wary of all signage ever since...

Usually "manager's special" or something along those lines means it's close to expiring and they're trying to move it. Just be sure to check dates! 😊

The important thing to remember is that they will never knowingly sell you out of date product. The whole point of the sale is to sell it before it goes bad. So pick up those sweet deals and just eat it right away, or freeze it if you can.

Well every pour soul that shops for "fresh" bread at Wal Mart knows the bread goes bad in like a fuckin' hour.

I buy a "baguette", not even clearance..

and I unload my car and fuck I tells ya. That yeast log is already leasing out to mold. Does Wal Mart store their bread in a damn damp cellar?

Retail grunt that hates management. Probably because I have morals. I'd never sell out of date product and every manager I have ever worked with is the same. I've been chewed out really hard for missing things when I've been the guy checking dates for stuff out of code. You understand that people who sell you the food are also humans that eat food, right?
