It’s still not an excuse to throw the food away. Some supermarkets donate all of their excess food to pantries. Supermarkets have trouble paying their employees a decent wage, why can’t they let employees take X amount of leftover items? Some people don’t get enough food, many more do but would rather spend less and not be picky. They would be happy to take the remaining leftovers before they spoil, especially food like produce (whereas junk food, fortunately in this case, tends to last much longer so it doesn’t get wasted). A lot of places actually do this, which shows that it’s a real solution; I don’t really see why all can’t.
