Expired food still on shelves

How many of us actually look at the expiration dates on food before we buy?  After finding yogurt that was a MONTH past the expiration date on the cup, I ALWAYS look now.  I was shopping at Shop Rite in Forest Hill, and thought it was a misprint.  So I looked at 3 others, and they were expired too! I then checked out some pizza shells.  They were expired AND had mold on them!! I took them up to the Customer Service desk and showed them to the woman.  She just shrugged and said okay.  I expected her to call someone over right away, the manager, maybe?  Or at least someone to pull the items from the shelves, but no, nothing.  I purposely waited in the longest line possible to observe the outcome.  The woman had put the yogurt and pizza shells off to the side and went back to what she was doing. 
So now I am hyper vigilant about checking the dates.
