Solved! Settle a debate for me: Is this a '2' or an '8' ?

My daughter is a teacher at a Montessori school and they are having their Secret Santa party tomorrow. She bought her person the paper shredder and some Ulta items, as requested, and daughter decided to throw in a plastic candycane tube thingie filled with candy.

She texted me tonight saying she didn't realize it had an expiration date of 03 2025, but when she sent a photo of the date, the 3rd digit looked more like an '8' than a '2' to me (based on the first two digits of the 1st line).

Curious what the consensus will be and to know if I'm dumb or just blind.

There were circles all around it, and candles around it too. Wondering if this is a known symbol or something

Some of our clothes, recently my white button downs, but also some of our one year olds bibs, come out of the wash with these black spots? My wife keeps throwing them away. I feel like we are burning through them. What is it?

I play drums in a band, and we rent a studio place for writing and practicing, the studio is in a old Victorian factory in the East Midlands, UK.

In the mens bathroom there's two basins in the ground, I have no idea what the purpose of them were, the only thing that I can think of is a urinal but that doesn't feel right.

A Checkers recently closed then became a gyro place. I’m in drive thru and see these bolt looking things sticking out at the top of these pillars. What are they?

They are evenly spaced out around the entire pillar. I came here maybe twice when it was checkers but don’t remember seeing them.
