Business ProfileforStarvin Sams Mini Mart

I purchased (Doritos Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips, net weight **** ounces) last week and after eating a few chips, my first reaction was that the chips were stale (expiration date August 2023). I didn't think much of it and although the chips were stale, I finished them in my car and drove away from the store located on 32nd street in **********. A few days ago, I purchased the same item and again the chips were stale. Since this was the second bag I purchased in less than a week, I went back and spoke to the store clerk. I told him that the chips were stale and that the remaining bags in inventory should be pulled from the shelf. He said he would talk to the owner and also told me that he is not allowed to offer a refund. I returned to the store today (November 26th, sometime in the afternoon) and spoke to the same gentleman (I believe he is a recent hire) to buy a soda and l was surprised to see that the same stale chips were were still being sold. I asked the clerk to explain why the chips were not pulled from the shelf. He said that the owner is aware that the chips are expired but wants the shelves to be fully stocked and that the owner has a "buyer be ware" policy, meaning that it's my fault for purchasing stale chips. The clerk also told me he discourages people from buying certain products because they are past their expiration date. I knew this was a lie because he was the same person who I purchased both bags of chips from in two different transactions. On the second transaction, he never discouraged me from purchasing the product in question. I also plan to call Frito Lay to let them know that Starving ***'s continues to sell expired items. I want someone from corporate HQ's to call me and I want a refund for the two bags of chips I purchased and an apology from the store clerk who lied to me.
