A pie with mold anyone?

I had a strong craving for pie the other day and went to my local Russian food store to see if they had any pies for sale. I got to the department where they have pre-packaged baked stuff and saw some pies there. I was already picturing myself biting into some delicious pie... I noticed the top pie on the shelf was either pumpkin or sweet potato. Don't remember which one it was. I did not want either of those flavors so looked through the pies underneath that one to see what else they had. They were all the same. The last one too, except it was covered with mold. And not just one little spot but most of the pie. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it had mold inside as well. But I did not want to find out. That is just disgusting. I quickly put it down and moved on. No pie for me. Mold is not my cup of tea. And the upsetting thing is that this is not the first time I discovered mold on one of the pies there. Unless it is the same pie that's been sitting there for a very long time. I wonder why no one bothers to check the shelves to make sure nothing is spoiled. That should be a must in any store! You can't sell stuff that is expired, spoiled, rotten, covered with mold, etc. For any price! Discounting bad or expired products should be a no-no but I've seen it done many a time and not just in this particular store but in others as well. I guess they think a lower price will entice people to buy the spoiled or expired things. I wonder if this pie will still be at the store when I go there next time. If it is, I should get the courage to go up to one of the employees and let them know about it. Maybe even bring the pie with me so they can see it for themselves right away.
