Speaking of those, how many people look at the dates on them to select the
freshest item? In my supermarket, they seem to turn all the packages so that the
seal-tabs are facing in towards the shelf rather than out towards the aisle. I
wonder if that is a deliberate attempt to deter people from picking the freshest
items off the shelves. It doesn't deter me, it just slows me down. As if I
wasn't slowed down enough having to take my glasses off to read the tags.
