Sigh, remember when small restaurants and bistros literally used to let employees take unsold food at the end of the day, and if there were still food left after going through the employees it would be set out on the counter for anyone else to take? Remember when that used to be a massive perk of working in food service?
Apparently many large chain venues aren't even letting employees take unsold food anymore, using "safety" as an excuse even though the sellable and unsellable food are often literally minutes apart.
I used to dumpster dive, and got told time and time again how disgusting it was, despite the fact that the food was packaged, inside a large trash bag with other non trash merch. You'd wear gloves and wash the packaging before opening as a precaution. It was no different to that item being in a plastic shopping bag, yet somehow the transition to inside a dumpster made people freak out about it.
We've become so disillusioned about food, it's crazy.
