I have coupons that say "Expires on August 11, 2010"


Does that mean they expire august 11, 2010 or does it mean they are expire after august 11, 2010?

I am sure it means that the coupon is good until 11:59PM today

I consider that something that expires on that day as no good on that day.


It least that's what I told my bitch ass customers who had a year to use the coupon but decided to come in on the day it expires to use it.

Even if I'm wrong, fuck them. They would never come back unless it was for a free meal anyway which is practically what that coupon was for.

As the business owner I got to choose whether it was expired or not, but I think that so many places have light policies on expiration dates that consumers don't regard them anymore.

Like if something cost $1.00 and all the customer had was 99 cent, would you still make the sale?
The fact that the expiration date is so close to a valid date makes it up to the merchant to decide to be an asshole or a saint.

"So many places" understand how to read and comprehend expiration dates.

You're the fucking genuis. You tell us.

If something expires, meaning it's no good on this date, it can expire at any time on that date.

I chose 12:00:01AM. Therefore I am the victor.

If milk expires on the 12th, I still drink it on the 13th just to be sure.

8/12/2010 6:18:58 PM

milk expiration dates mean very little to me

They are labeled that way intentionally. Same goes for things that say Sell by _______. Its just to be ambiguous and give the option to the seller

^ agree, if it gets you in the store it doesnt expire until tomorrow

8/12/2010 6:22:57 PM

With grocery stores, things cannot be sold past the "sell by date" per the USDA.

8/12/2010 6:46:43 PM

^read much?

I really doubt that whatever flunkie rings you out is gonna care what the expiration date is on your coupon.

8/12/2010 7:09:51 PM

when i worked in grocery stores, we'd get fussed at if we took expired coupons. usually they won't be accepted when you scan them, but sometimes some will slip through.
