    That’s not how it works anywhere I’ve heard of (and I’ve lived in the USA and Europe and worked in an American grocery store). Maybe if it’s a refrigerated product in the US (or vandalized somehow), but that’s not the case with dates.

      Not saying that is actually how it will play out, I agree with you that it only actually happens to refrigerated or frozen products (that get discarded when misplaced). That’s not to say it doesn’t also happen to shelf stable products too and we don’t know about it, but I think that is unlikely.

      I was just clarifying what I interpreted the original commenters intentions behind said protest would be, not that it would be effective. I believe the interpretation that it’s just about messing with low income workers to be not quite what the intention was.
