Slightly related, throwing food away and the expiration date is a tricky thing.
My dad works at grocery store and initially, they were allowed to bring the food home once it expires for a symbolic cost (10% of the price or something). Soon after that, the employees started to hide food so that they can take it home almost for free. So it didn't last long.
- omegaham 10y agoSame thing happens at restaurants. If a restaurant gives away excess food to employees at the end of the night, you're guaranteeing that employees will then cook excess food to take home a shitload. As the saying goes, "This is why we can't have nice things."
- monochromatic 10y agoYeah, people respond to incentives. It sucks sometimes.
