One of the things I hated the most about working as a dishwasher was throwing out perfectly good food at the end of the night

I worked for Dominos for a bit, mostly driving, but a bit in the kitchen too. Minimum wage, and not enough hours, but I was living at my mum’s house, she didn’t demand much money from me and my needs were few, so it was a nice gig. Driving around in the evening, listening to the radio. Not bad.

When I started there, if an order got fucked up it’d get put out the back so everyone could grab a slice if they wanted. Not a bad perk in a min-wage job.

Then the boss decided that we were fucking them up on purpose to get free pizza, so demanded they get thrown in the bin.

I found another job because of that. Almost never go to Dominos for pizza now. Too fucking pricey, and nowhere near good enough to justify it.

So much waste in kitchens.

"We can't give it away because it's stealing"

"We can't give it away because of liability"

Hated it too. Feels wrong.

Whenever I'd take out the trash I just needed the manager to disable the fire alarm on the back door. They'd wait inside while I hauled bags back to the dumpster.

Except when we were cleaning out the hot box. Then the manager came out with me and watched me dump all the food. So he could make sure it all was wasted.

Luckily most of the managers also let any staff there after closing fix up a plate of the food that was still good but wouldn't survive the night. Except one asshole who insisted it was stealing.

Stealing food they were going to throw away. What a clown world.

Once something has been thrown out as trash in a public space, it's legal for someone else to take and isn't a liability. A place that actually gave a shit would have a separate trash container for things that are still safe to eat.

In San Francisco, there are receptacles you can leave food in for homeless people. I always thought that was a good way to do it.

Might not be illegal to take trash but they put the trash bins in locked private property with do not trespass signs making it illegal to go in and take it. Fuck those places.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah, that falls under a place not giving a shit and intentionally making it difficult to take thrown out food.
