I was supposed to put it in the trash for “legal reasons”. Lately my salary doesn't support the cost of living for my family. So a few times i just put the best expired things in a bag to the side and took them with me after my shift. I got warned about it once. I spent the rest of my money on fuel the day before and there was a big load of expired organic things so i said f*** it and took another load.
The next day i was fired… im not sure if this is legal.. i don't really have the energy to fight for it or sue.. i know the throw out times and the days to check so i will still be taking free food from them because in my book it is unethical to waste still good food
