The 20th anniversary of the release of Spike Lee’s ground-breaking movie Do The Right Thing, which dealt with a day in the life of a block in Bed Stuy, and in so doing brought the multi-layered issues of gentrification race coexistence and conflict in the inner city to a broader national audience. Two decades later, how much has changed and how much remains the same?
LOL Rob! I am, eh, ahem, regular, thank you!
Cobble, I’ve pointed it out to them several times and they just put it back on the shelves. I even snuck and marked a few things and went back a month later and sure enough it was there on the shelf again. They know what they are doing and they are doing it intentionally. That’s why I wanna report them. I guess 311 is the best way to go. Although the people who answer the 311 phones (from my experience anyway) are total nimrods.
cobble…here’s how it would go”
Snappy: Could you please explain why you continue to stock these expired items?
Clerk: Eh?
Snappy: These, they expired four months ago.
Clerk: Is good.
Snappy: it’s against the law.
Clerk: Is good
Snappy: You need to remove these from the shelves.
Clerk: Lady, f*&ck off.

Is this store independent or part of a national chain? If national/regional contact the HQ.
Brooklyn Surrogate’s Court had actually gotten a little bit better…they were after me for a while to start accepting Guardianship cases but the thought of spending the rest of my life there was not so appealing.
rob- LOL!!!
Snappy, what if you were to just take a few expired items up to the store manager for a discussion?
I’d call 311 and anyone else that would listen it’s a health and safety issue. I’d also call get local media in on the deal too. You can send anonymous tips.
(and im meant regular as in a B.M. not your personality)
