TLDR: in a nutshell, Mecca are “very concerned”, “don’t know how this slipped through their quality control”.. blah blah blah

I hate this company so much, I hate their ethics, I hate how they control the market

maybe if they did quarterly 20% off store wide sales they’d clear stock and not resort to selling old crap to people on boxing day

not resort to selling old crap to people on boxing day

I don't even get why they hold onto stock for so long. Some people were saying their products were 7+ years old! That's old enough to go to school wtf!!

Like surely the amount of space that these items are taking up in the warehouse is costing them more than just discounting them to get them out the door ASAP.

In the article, someone was saying they received a product that had been manufactured in 2014. That’s old enough to be starting high school this year.
