      Given how ubiquitous this behavior is across multiple industries, I’m sure nothing will change. Grocery stores, cafes, retailers of all sorts regularly trash literal tons of product that could be donated, in the name of profit. There’s often also lip service to food safety, but that’s very rarely an actual legitimate reason.

        Which is so weird because do they think people dumpster diving or shopping at food pantries are really cutting into their bottom line?

        Like fr??

        And if so, what the fuck is wrong with society (actually this applies either way, wtf, society???)???
