or anything else having to do with your transaction. What I do know is that most people routinely ignore such things and are then surprised when they learn about them. That's why I read stuff. I read everything, particularly when it has to do with items that have the potential to burn down my house.
I read warning labels. I read owner's manuals for everything I buy that plugs in, uses gasoline or other flammable fuels, or has sharp parts. I have always done that.
Recently, I bought a brand new 2020 KIA Soul. The evening after I brought it home, I brought the owner's manual, the warranty manual, the manual for the entertainment system and all of the other paperwork into the house and read it all. Then, much better informed, I put it all back in the car's glove compartment. I learned a number of details about my new car that I didn't know before I read that stuff. That's why I read things having to do with everything I pay money for. I want to get my money's worth.
There are warning labels on your propane tank. There is an expiration date on your propane tank. Reading such things is worthwhile, and can save you money and protect you from dangerous risks.
You're angry because the store you went to followed the rules this time. People are often angry when other people follow rules. People get angry when I'm driving at the speed limit, even in the right lane of the freeway. There are signs along the way that say what the speed limit is. People don't read those, either, so they get angry at me for following what those signs say, even though I'm in the "slow" lane of the freeway. Sometimes I get to pass those people when they are pulled off onto the right shoulder by a police car. I just smile and drive on.
Reading is fundamental. If there's a warning label on something, why wouldn't you read it? If there's an expiration date on something, why accept it beyond that date?
I guess I don't understand the issue. It just happened that you tried to exchange expired tanks at a time when everyone needs a full tank of propane. So, buy a new tank or two and get if filled, then refill it as needed. You won't have to worry if you do that. Now, you might have to go somewhere besides the propane rack at Walmart to refill your tank, but there it is. You'll be much better off in the long run, and save money, too - enough to pay for your new tanks.
You're angry, but nobody did anything wrong by refusing to accept expired tanks. When they accepted them before was when they did something wrong. Check the tanks you get if you exchange tanks. Don't accept expired ones.
