I know that this is somewhat out of scope in "Dining" but it is food 
related and there is no DC Consumer Conference.

My wife shops once a week, on Wednesday, at Shoppers Food Warehouse in 
the Burke, Va store.  She buys a weeks worth of groceries, which 
includes 2 gallons of 1% milk.  More times then we would like to count, 
the second gallon turns before the next Wednesday.  When it turns the 
milk is still several days away (short off) the "Sell By Date".  We have 
talked to a few friends and they have had the same problem.  Shoppers is 
more than happy to take the milk back when this happens.  Even so I am 
beginning to wonder if someone, either Shoppers or the dairy, is up to 
marking the wrong sell date???   

Has anyone had this happen to them, or have any ideas?  Before Shoppers 
we shopped mostly at Giant, plus a few times at Safeway and *never* had 
such a problem.

Thanks!
