Aside from being environmentally unsound on SO many levels, it's just plain greedy and selfish.I worked at a supermarket for two years as a nightpacker and occassionally I had to do the storemans and night managers jobs which involved stock right-offs. You should see the amount of food that is thrown out on a daily basis from supermarkets... it's disgusting!I once asked my boss if there was even a remote chance of some it being sent to charities since I knew that some charities received stuff like bread from bakeries. A lot of the food that gets thrown out doesn't have anything really wrong with it, like cans that are a bit bumped or bread that's a day old or some water damage to the outside of a box where the contents of the inside are fine and protected by plastic. But nope, he said it all had to be counted and then thrown out and that it was against the law for them to give any of it away.I swear, the amount of people that stuff could help... it's just disgusting how modern society works, I tell yah.../hijack</blockquote>
