TIL: some discount stickers in #AlbertHeijn contain the expiration date of the product. After that date, the self scan app will prevent you from buying it and also trigger a check by an employee during payment.

That is a really nice way to use customers as workers at the same time. For most of the goods you no longer need workers to do regular checks. Nice.

But what about those that do not use the self scan app? Those will just buy expired products if they miss the expiration date. Less nice.

@cynerd I'm pretty sure the same warning will occur also during self checkout or on the manned checkout counter.

@marlies the supermarket makes a mistake (by offering something over the expiration date) and they check you?
Actually, no surprise there.

@elin @marlies I find it a nice and pro-customer. They are not supposed to sell it so they make sure you cannot buy it accidentally.

@elin i think maybe to stop you from peeling a sticker off of something you previously bought and then bringing it with you and putting it on a new one

@marlies @elin I don't think that is the case. The discount stickers are made tamper evident to prevent reapplying them.
Also why would someone put so much effort into moving stickers when you can just shoplift.
