Dunkin’ employee reveals what happens to all those uneaten donuts at the end of the day.

Here, Walmart donates to food banks. So did Panera Bread and Aldi. I have no idea if all three places are still doing it now, though.

The produce at the food banks is usually not so great. The times I helped, I refused to put out substandard veggies, like moldy strawberries and green beans that were more spotted brown than they were green.

Just taking moldy berries out isn't enough, because the mold spores move on to the other berries before the human eye can actually see them.

Freakin Frugal on YouTube is always at the Aldi dumpster pulling food like crazy out of there. Or hand sanitizer.
 

I've seen the local corporate convenience stores do that to often. At least put them on clearance which is what many supermarkets do. Although over the last year the clearance price is like a regular price in many stores.

I think it's the bottom of a much bigger problem. Just watch one of the many dumpster diver channels on YouTube. From grocery, retail, apartment complex dumpsters. The waste is astronomical. All those things took energy to make and stores will slash and spray paint something so someone else can't use it.

We pass laws for all kinds of things, a law could be submitted for frivolous lawsuits and zero liability for retailers. Perhaps. I don't know. I'm not an expert but something needs to change.

+1. However Tort Law has sort of 'vested interests' for the lawyer, most lawmakers are lawyers and have zero interest in killing the cash cow.

I'd be afraid to encounter rats. There is no way I would ever dumpster dive.

I'd be afraid of getting caught and yelled at. I'd be a bit grossed out by it myself. But these people claim they have never become sick from dumpster food.

And the waste is maddening. It could go someplace before the dumpster. Not to mention non food goods that are thrown out, often destroyed by the store so people can't dive and take them.

I think Nathan has the answer above here.
 
I got a big surprise when a friend of mine got a job in a donut shop. We were both around 20 & I watched donuts being made for the first time. I still remember that big tub of grease they're fried in. I wondered why glazed donuts taste so good when they're fried in that disgusting oil.
