Cheryl: You posted - "V.P. Kraft Foods said "massive" problems will start occurring January 1, 1999 ... because of date codes. They've already encountered problems." "Many of these dates are 1 year into the future. So, in January '99 ... the 2000 future date will be used extensively. This is when he expects the "massive" problems to start occurring. Some 2000 future dates have already been introduced into the system. Not many. But, they've already run into some of the problems which will occur in full force later." We are now 35 days into 1999, where are the massive problems? Our groceries are moving out of the warehouses into the stores with no problems. The product is coming to our warehouses from the vendors with no problems, the same goes for DSD (direct store delivery) from our vendors. Many of the food products now have an expiration date in the year 2000. My boss pointed this out after reading a copy of the posting from you I gave him. Again, can you tell us who is having the "massive" problems now? We are a large grocery chain (along with general merchandise) and we have not seen any problems yet. Thanks.
