Sometimes, when you're pricegunning a large amount of stock, you end up covering things like expiry dates. It's not necessarily intentional. I'd be more apt to blame haste than assume they were trying to trick people into buying out-of-code product.

Thing is, generally product is placed with the front of the label facing towards the customer, price tag on the front(towards the left). But the expiry dates tend to be on the back, so if the tag is over the expiry date, then it likely was intentional.

Usually, we would open the case, dump out the contents on a counter, price them all en masse, then replace them in the case. This results in prices typically ending up on the back of packages.

Yeah, as long as it's the next guy who eats bad food and gets sick, and not you, that's all right then.
I'm not the litigious type that the country is flooded with these days, but a heads-up that something's gone bad may be appreciated. It's sad that these days the two extremes are million-dollar lawsuits, and complete apathy. A bit of moderation can go a long way.

That doesn't make sense...
The price should be facing the customer, as should the front of the label, this is how it's worked in every retail setting I've ever worked in.

It makes sense when you have multiple pallets of product to price and shelve. Also, around here, most places have product price tags on the shelves, so the price tag on the product is redundant. In fact, in my state (RI), items don't have to be individually priced, as long as the display is. So the price and product label are still both facing the customer.

If you're relying on price stickers, the price sticker on each individual item is more for the convenience of the person who types in the price on the register (Yay for working in a business too small for scanning UPCs!)
It's either that or markdowns from the msrp, and it's easy to set "that place where Nike puts the price" as a good monotonous target.

For what its worth, covering date codes of perishable items with anything is a health code violation in most areas.

lagaga,
I'm guessing you're one of those jerks that gets served cold fries and goes into a rage about how you'll never eat there again.
Sorry a month out of date candy bar is really not worth the effort.

If you're willing to accept inferior products and or service, that's fine. I'll be over here paying the same for better stuff.
Just as Planned.

If it takes you an hour to make a phone call or send an e-mail, any money paid to you has been wasted.

And it's better for the business, generally, to have the price on the back of something when it's not low enough to be an impulse buy. Packaging is purposefully designed to be viewed from the front--putting your price tag there is limiting your return from the product. You want people to focus on the fact that it's delicious chocolate, not that it's $5. Once people pick it up to check the price, you are already more likely to sell it than if they just saw the price and moved on.
And letting them see the price on front AND making the product less attractive is really not going to help you.
Don't underestimate the power of good advertising--it's ludicrously powerful.

I know you live in TN where you guys probably rely on Pony Express or messenger pigeons or Western Union telegrams. Out here in the Big City, we have things called "telephones" that can be used to transmit sound nearly instantaneously.
I'll let you sit and digest that before telling you about "e-mail" which'll blow your fuckin' socks off.
