But then again, there are lots of stuff that go bad before the "best before" date.
I've seen moldy cheese at Save-on. I bought fresh meat from Safeway that was packaged that day and when I got home, 10 min drive, the meat was stinking.
No need to talk about the crap from T&T and Superstore.

Well, something is definitely wrong there then... because under no circumstances should items from the grocery store have gone bad BEFORE the best before date... they should definitely err on the side of caution and have it such that the best before date is the EARLIEST it could start going bad...

Yeah, HR language requirements....I've constantly looked over their job site, and all position require fluent Chinese. It's either discrimination or maintaining strong employee communication depending on how you look at it.

most of the product in T&T are in Chinese, followed by English titles that's badly translated. I think that is why there is the Chinese language requirement.

really no point to hire people who can not communicate the majority of T&T's consumer base

Many people including myself would stop shopping at T&T if they hired people who COULDN'T speak Chinese. T&T is a Chinese supermarket, most of their products don't have a English name or one that no Chinese person understands (i.e. piss poor English translations). Workers who don't know Chinese wouldn't understand the products and communicate/help customers find what they're looking for.

In any case, people that don't speak Chinese or don't know Chinese cuisine wouldn't shop at T&T anyways. I do think that they should hire more workers who can speak English, but Chinese is a must.

Also they ARE trying to look more multicultural. I've only seen South Asian janitors at T&T stores and they probably should hire more Caucasians to do jobs that don't require contact with customers.

Like that? Hope T&T doesn't get flooded with white products.

the reasoning behind it isnt the issue
