can't give shyt away cuz people just waiting to sue over eating something bad. greed on all sides = food goes to waste

I had a bakery on my old street that used to just dumb loafs outside the door in a big clear bag and you would be surprised how people attacked that shyt and they were not homeless. they looked like ravenous dogs tearing the bags apart and grabbing loafs bare hand more than one a time. some people are more about opportunity than shame.

Yep...a guy I know was telling me about how much was being thrown out from Publix and how some people were waiting for it

Aren't the Health Depts another reason. They probably aren't allowed to give the food away.

I don't know the answer to that.

I don't understand why grocery stores don't partner with shelters because they throw put shyt everyday

You answered it in another post. All it talks is person to get sick and the restaurant, grocery store, etc will be held liable.

Fair answer.

It will be argued away, saying “your honor I was so hungry. Of course I signed it“ the same way they can throw out a prenup

The majority of food shelters/pantries receive comes from grocery stores. The remainder from private donations.​

'Sell By' dates are there for a reason, but many stores donate a percentage of their stock without issues.​

That don't mean automatically endorse socialism though.

This is probably more of the reason they killed him, even more than him being black.

Instead of throwing them in a dumpster they could have just loaded it in carts with a “FREE” sign on it.

Edit: Nevermind… as others have noted folks would sue if they get sick.

But inflation is coming down and unemployment is at record lows

I Stir Fry A Lot of sound mind and stomach, and under perjury of law do accept these expired Home Run Pies and El Monte frozen burritos on the day of February 3rd, 2023 and promise not to sue Dollar General for and pains, illness, or diarrhea incurred from consuming said goods.

At my job we are forced to cut up clothes that are marked out. Clothes that have nothing wrong with them at all.
