I mean, I get why the store would choose to throw it in the dumpster instead of give it away. Let's say they give away some food that makes ppl sick. That would make the liable and face a lawsuit
Isn't there a law that prevents the store from being liable?

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 dump 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. :mjlol:
This right here. There (precious few)good folk on both sides who would be happy to help the less fortunate/accept the help in good faith with no intention of gaming on their generosity. a$$holes always ruin everything good chapter 985366889256337647 :francis:

I saw some program some years ago where some idiots with full-time jobs were dumpster diving just because it "saved money".

Being frugal is one thing, but that is just plain pathetic and sub-human behavior
the human race has foraged for food in worse conditions way longer than we have gone to markets to buy some.:gucci:

Have you ever considered that it may be a condemnation of how wasteful our society is? If it is gonna get thrown out then why not just lay it out for people to take instead of putting them through the indignation of "dumpster diving"?

Have you ever read "The Grapes of Wrath" my brother?

"And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit – and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains."

Do you understand what this means at a societal level?

Most of them probably have food at home and just getting extra free shyt. Have you been to austin before? :what: have you been around mexicans before? :what:.these people are not hungry.
