Nah, they just don't wanna do it, then they spread this rumor about the perils of our legal system preventing them. There's a thing called the Good Samaritan Food Donation Act in the US which absolves businesses from liability. But i believe it has to go to a distribution center, not directly to a person, which may require additional effort from the grocer/restaurant.
