Default unfair trade practices

Yesterday I bought a popular brand of coffee powder from an equally popular store in Mylapore. To my horror and dismay I found the packing date stamped on it as April 2008. How can one stamp something as April 2008 when April was yet to come? As it was already evening and I could not go anywhere else for a new pack I bought it. If this is the state of affairs I shudder to think what will happen to perishable goods with such stamps. How does one tackle these cases on the spot?

AAAAAAAH!
We the consumer have to be so alert!
I was dismayed to find out that you can request your own dates/MRp etc as a buyer!
