I think the delivery pickers take all the oldest stuff.

I'd be most surprised if they didn't.

I don't think they do any more. Probably too many people were finding
problems like we did - order food for a week and find that everything
had to be used within 3 days! We stopped using home delivery or click
and collect for quite a while because of it.

There seems to be a much better product life now, but whether they are
just picking randomly or deliberately picking fresher products, I don't
know.

Even with click and collect, they warn (Tesco) if some items only have
a short life remaining, before you take them.

Although not sure where they get the
stuff from - a local store, or a central warehouse where you'd assume most
things are 'fresher' than in the stores?

Some from the back of the store before it goes out to the shelves and
some from the shelves, if they are similar to our various local stores.
