Safeway Sells 9 day old rotisserie chicken - fresh food safety

I purchased a rotisserie chicken from the Safeway on Almaden Expressway in San Jose this morning. I took a bite of the chicken and it tasted horrible. I proceeded to check the label to make sure it was still good and I found that the label had been covered by other labels 3 times. The original package date was October 26th... NINE DAYS AGO! The second sticker that was covering the first sticker said the chicken was packaged on October 30th and the THIRD sticker said the chicken was packaged on November 2nd. Today is November 3rd so this chicken is NINE DAYS OLD. According to the USDA cooked chicken should be eaten within 3 to 4 days. The fact that Safeway did this is absurd. For a store that prides themselves in freshness they sure aren't practicing what they preached. I will never shop there again!
