Possibly, but we don't really know how much danger they attribute to this practice...the CC might be really paranoid about their reputation...personally I think it sounds a bit harsh, but then, I don't run Cadbury's do I?...

Yup, against insurance. At the store I was working at, dry goods alone (tins packets etc) had=20 =A350k GBP a year allowances for insurance claim for loses. They insurance= =20 against goods not being a fit state to be sold.

Don't know how Safeway worked in the US. In the UK it is a seperate=20 company. Was part of Argyl group at the time I worked for, but allowed=20 to use the same logo/stationary/branding as the global brand, but not=20 linked in anyway wth Safeway USA. Most of their stores are now owned by=20 Waitrose or Morrisons and have been renamed. Safeway has pretty much=20 disappeared now, except where there is an existing Morrison in the town=20 already.
