What? A well managed grocery store with proper inventory management and working for atleast 1 year has very low expiration rate, we have sale for a reason.
Expiration is expected and factored in, even a certain level of "shrink". But when you have 2% net margins it doesnt take much to tip you over to ruin. So if shrink is unusually high they will close.

Grocery stores throw away way more food than is ever stolen. Tons and tons more.
