I'm friends with a professor who complained to me a couple times about how sometimes he will need to scroll through pages and pages of courses he taught in the past. He also mentioned that profs aren't able to delete their own course shells either.

Feels kinda funny reading an LLM generated article criticizing the security of an LLM generated platform. I mean I'm sure the security vulnerabilities were real, but I really would've like it if a human wrote the article; probably would've cut down on the fluff/noise.

Other stores (even from the same company as mine) might instead have a compost heap and throw all old produce there and/or give a discount to those items.

Best-before dates are crucial for us since we need them to figure out how long a product has been sitting on the shelf (especially the items that can sit on the shelf for months) and especially for keeping the warehouse organized as we can days of orders stockpiled with 3+ different best-before dates, and it's important to always put out the oldest product otherwise the whole box can go bad.

Also, as a fun fact, since there are thousands of items, old bad produce can be often be missed. One time I found some prunes that had been past their best-before date for nearly a year.

Also, I've regularly witnessed items that go bad basically right as we get them (maybe 5 or so days before their best-before date) while other items can last a week or two after their best-before date just fine.

So yeah, for regular people, best-before dates are more like a suggestion that roughly tells you how old the item is and maybe the mean average time the item goes bad (depending on how it's regulated). If it's near the item is roughly near its best before, maybe just give it a close look and a sniff. If it looks and smells fine, it's probably fine.
