I think people should be more willing to protest food waste.
Have you ever been at a convenience gas/fast food place at around 10:15am, only to see the employees throwing away like 40 or so breakfast biscuits, while the customer behind me wanted to purchase one?
I was absolutely fucking disgusted that they wouldn’t sell the lady a breakfast biscuit! The food was still hot, so fucking what if it was technically 15 minutes after breakfast hour. She had the money, ready to purchase, and I was more than glad to let her cut in line in front of me if it meant she could get her breakfast biscuit.
But no, they refused her service, because it was after 10am…
Like what the fuck? Why so much food go to waste? Shit, rather than toss it in the dumpster, maybe they could extend breakfast food hours from 10 to 12 at half price or something, I dunno.
I hate seeing food go to waste, especially when someone is literally right there ready to pay for it… ☹️
I used to work a night shift at a service station and around midnight I was meant to throw everything left away so I could clean everything ready for the next day.
Needless to say, every night between 11pm and midnight was free food giveaway bonanza. Every single person that came in I would offer free food from the selection of stuff we had, on nights where the previous shift had made an excessive amount of food I would literally pile people up with food rather than throw anything away.
The truck drivers would love it as I could load them up with stuff for their nights drive. A few times though I found myself feeling not so great from where I’d eaten as much as I could myself just so that stuff doesn’t get thrown away.
So many people are increasingly going hungry too the fact these companies throw out so many food, they should be fined an excessive amount per weight of food thrown away IMO.

How can we citizens help? How can employees help without losing their jobs?
Edit: How can managers help, without pissing off the CEO?..
