I was just at a Walmart store in TN last week to buy some deli meat. The clerk sliced more than I wanted. I asked what she was going to do with it and was told it will be donated. I have personally distributed day old bread and pastries donated by Panera to homeless people in Detroit, MI. As the commenter stated, some is thrown out for liability issues. Often it's food that has a sell by date that has past. Even the shelters won't accept food that has an expired date. I'll eat it. I grew up where you used your nose and eyes to determine if something was bad. I'm nearing 70, cook most of my meals and have never had food poisoning.

As to the was the food was placed in the bags that wasn't intentional. That's how most restaurants and supermarkets get rid of goods/foods. That's why there is a big group called "freenegans" that go around NYC looking in these trash for good still unexpired foods.

I was homeless in NYC and I used to dumpster dive at Starbucks all the time, especially the one 110th & Morningside (now closed) and 100th & Columbus (don't know if its open or not). The bright lighting in front of the stores kept the rats away and they had all kinds of cakes, pastries, cookies, protein packs, sandwiches, cake pops etc. Not every trip had goodies though, and sometimes they threw old coffee grinds on top of the food to prevent people from ripping the bags open and leaving a mess on the sidewalk.

It’s pretty crazy, when I use to work at a grocery store I remember when we received palates of food…if one thing broke on that pallet we were told to throw the whole pallet away. I would hit up my friends whenever it happened to come and pick it up. Cause if I took anything it would be considered stealing even tho we threw it away. Yeah we were young and broke. Definitely fed us in the hard times

I used to manage a waste contract. This involves taking waste to a depot that includes a big incinerator. Whilst waiting, my contractor noticed boxes and boxes of winter track suits - matching tops and pants etc - all with the iconic, high end brands logo. It was getting close to winter and he wondered why this high end athletic brand was incinerating their products instead of doing something good and donating the warm clothes to charity or something. The reasons included - The items were “last season’s” range. As they had hundreds of boxes, it was easier to burn them than it was to slash each item (to make it unwearable) as they usually do for smaller amounts. And finally - this company didn’t want the “type” of people that shop in charity stores to be seen wearing “their” high end products. It’s that last one that really grinds my gears. Every day, tons of perfectly good, brand new clothing and other products are destroyed and sent to landfill sites or to incinerators, rather than being donated or re sold in some way. It makes me sad and angry to be human. We need more transparency when it comes to situations like this. End of rant. P.s it was a BIG athletic company. But they didn’t want poor people walking around in their branded clothing. Grrrrrrrr. Ok, really end of rant 🙁

I’m not an expert but based on the food safety training I’ve been given I can imagine that there may be valid reasons for throwing the food away that aren’t purely consumerism-based. If food was contaminated in the manufacturing process the food needs to be either returned to the manufacturer or thrown out entirely. It may look good and safe to eat, but if the seal was broken or there was any sort of cross contamination when the food was manufactured or prepared, it needs to be thrown out. It’s really tragic! But especially once it’s been put in the trash and left on the curb, it’s just not safe to eat anymore.

I would have donated most of it. Great find

As a Starbucks barista I assure you eating egg bites that were left out in the sun is a great way to put yourself in the bathroom for a day.

I’ve had to throw away huge garbage BAGS full of freshly baked bread at my job. Our boss would let us take some bags home but for the most part they were trashed. Then a church took them to donate to homeless, supposedly… until we found out they weren’t. The second owner was smarter and discounted the bread at the end of day, but that meant we couldn’t take bread home anymore. 🥲

I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but donating to charity is actually very expensive in many places. I'm from Croatia and we have a stupid law where you have to pay full VAT tax if you donate to charity. That tax is 20-25% here... There was a tradition where almost all bread bakeries would secretly give leftover bread when the day is over, to poor and homeless (we don't really have many homeless, but we do have poor) people, but they were getting fined. Unfortunately, most likely there are laws that make this kind of charity. Don't blame the business unless you are 100% sure they had other options.

Used to work at a Starbucks, can confirm they throw so much stuff out. I felt so awful throwing so much stuff out, but I had to do what the manager told me to do. We weren't allowed to take any home ourselves either, I did ask. Like I'm getting paid Starbucks salary and I can't even take home a croissant?

The Guy who was going to refill the Starbucks: u serious?!

Two reasons for not donating: 1. If by any chance if anything happens who consumes them( donated) then starbucks get sued for negligence which effects brand name. 2. Even if its done probably employees take stuff to their home and say they have donated, simply to stop stealing. 3. Starbucks products are fresh and hygiene so we can take them home. I worked there for sometime and I don't know for what reasons they throw lot of stuff even before expiry date. May be it has something to do with batch inspections, supply chain issues or if any outlet opens after a holiday then most of the stuff would be not good so then trash them.

I would and give it to the poor who agrees 👇

I remember when I was in high school I was a really stressed kid and had a kind of turbulent life at home and I would go to Starbucks every day and study there for like 5-6 hours in the corner. Eventually I started to get to know the baristas there and at some point, they started giving me free coffee and the snacks that they were supposed to throw out. They really helped me through a rough part of my life and the fact that they were willing to show me how fucked up Starbucks' trash policies were really motivated me to start working in sustainability.

They said it was too big a liability to donate them to food banks so they were all just trashed.
