It wouldn’t surprise me if they stuck it back on the shelf after I left. I think it is so rare to find one that the stockers these days don’t even realize something is wrong with it.
Even some customers don’t realize it. When I was a cashier there were a couple of times I refused to ring something up because it was swollen, I’d send my bagger to find a good one. I remember the looks on my customers’ faces when they realized they’d picked something up without really looking at it and were about to poison themselves.
