New snake plant has a brown spot
Just impulse bought this big fella from my local grocery store, noticed one of the leaves has a brown spot on it, should I leave it? Cut that leaf down to under the bad spot? #SnakePlant

I would keep a close eye.
These can happen in transit but can also be an infection. I've had many snake plants shipped and two have gotten brown spots. One was light and never got worse, the other was dark and squishy and continued to grow. In the case of the latter I cut off the leaf and threw it out.
I would keep an eye for a week or two to ensure it's not getting worse or spreading. You can also just cut it off to be on the safe side!
