I have been eating eggs for over decades now and this the first time I have come across where someone has been so sensitive on the freshness of eggs. That is because you are from the west. If you would be from the east, shopkeepers would be laughing at you if would ask them of the expiry date of an egg. Possibly, you may even get a couple of them thrown at your face straightaway should you ask them this questions. There are thousands of eggs consumed each day in countries like India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Philippines, where no one ever bothers about when the egg was laid and when it would expire.
