HM, you're leaping to conclusions that the expiry date disables the cartridge. You can still EAT expired food, the date just indicates the point at which the materials cannot reasonably be guaranteed to be "good." You can't guarantee that a plastic widget will be functional in 5, 10, or 20 years. Or whatever the timeframe is.

Staples hasn't managed their stock in a responsible fashion. Staples is selling expired products (glatt, see the OP).

All this being said, without a receipt, NOBODY will "take your word" that you bought something somewhere.

Incidentally, was HP supposed to put a new cartridge in their Star Trek transporter and beam it to you?
