Sorry, no.
The whole of the grocery industry (from growing, to transportation, to distribution) is engineered within very difficult constraints that ensure produce looks perfect from the instant you step into the store up to 20 seconds after you leave it with your bag of tomatoes that’ll go from firm to wrinkly, soggy and barely edible by the time you get home.
It’s a harder feat than getting a guy on Mars. Don’t knock it.
Check your local Coles. Ours has an “import” section that includes gravy granules, bottles of Irn Bru and marrowfat peas.
Why would a dented can be a problem?
Farmer’s market. The stuff I buy there lasts WAY longer than anything I buy at the grocery. You have to be willing to accept what’s in season, though - which in my area means no tomatoes right now. By the time they are in season, most of the lettuce will be gone. Caprese makes up for that, though.
Because cans don’t ONLY get dented by being banged around a bit. Sometimes denting can be indicative of little anaerobic nasties inside, waiting for a chance to get inside YOU.
When it comes to apples, I’m an independent contractor.
Sorry.
Unionized grocery people? Isn’t that good? I’m thinking ionized grocers would be pretty useless and give you a lot of static. It would make the store a highly charged workplace-
As Kaylasdad99 has said… I avoid any produce with damaged packaging. And these cans weren’t just dented, they looked like they had been compressed somehow.
Since found them at Super IGA. None at the local Coles or Woolies.
Virtually every grocery store chain except Wal*Mart has unionized workers. Ionized workers have to be placed in the Photo/Electronics section, for obvious reasons.
One of the several reasons why I consider baggers a disadvantage and not a service. But are you required to use them - does the store forbid you to bag your groceries yourself?? (You could also bring your own cloth bag and re-use it! Like a hippie, you know. ;-))
You don’t have a law against this, that is, false advertising?
Most stores advertise sales as “while supplies last”, or with similar phrasing, to get around that. Nonetheless, their POS data should be able to estimate how much they’ll sell, and either have enough on hand for the demand, or limit the sale’s length to how much they want to sell.
Heck, usually I’d be willing to pay the $0.25 more of full price – if they just had the thing in stock!
Don’t they have rainchecks in Missouri? I lu-u-u-uves me some rainchecks. Get me some of that white corn at six for a dollar while everyone else is paying four bits…
No, I could bag them myself. If I trusted the cashier. 
?? What’s the cashier got to do with it? You arrive at the belt, load your stuff from the wheelie thing onto the belt. The cashier scans while you look at each price being shown, and shoves each product onto the second belt/ glideway section. You pay the total, and go to the end of the second belt/ gliding section to bag your stuff.
Where’s the difference in your stores?
Even ALDI, which has a short cut-off after the cashier and no large second belt, people manage to gather all their stuff together and bag it leisurely at the shelf a bit away.
