AIBU by thinking this is so wrong. Food shops destroying food rather than letting homeless have it.

Just seen my MIL who works for a well know cake shop.
This is her 1st week there. Anyway at the end of the day she was told by her supervisor to throw all food out like cream cakes and sandwiches and to pour washing up liquid over them. Why? She said, supervisor said cause I don't want tramps eating it. She was horrified and so am couldn't they have taken it to a homeless shelter?

Tiffany its a free forum anyone can say what they want that's why people post it would be boring if we had the same views wouldn't it? :)

dont tell me what i can or cant say then.......as you attempted up thread!!

i know its a free forum,have been here long enough thanks!

In all fairness the majority of drug users I work with are not homeless. Homelessness is caused by lots of things not just drugs and alcohol- mental health problems, learning difficulties, care leavers, ex service people and victims of domestic violence.

Our local sains gives unsellable fruit and veg to local exoctic animal refuge.

I never said you couldn't say anything tiffany. Jesus Christ.
I won't be repeating myself again to you, your clearly to stupid to understand and grasp what I was saying. Good luck to you dear

Anyway getting back to the thread my MIL said they threw away sandwiches that were not out of date but they still destroyed them.

er,no i'm NOT stupid!!

you kind of lose your credibility when you have to resort to insults.....read the mn guidelines 'dear'!!

and its 'too' stupid,not 'to'......

Your boring me now so I will ignore you

Back to the point, shops can sell edible out of date goods, as long as they are clearly labeled as out of date and there price is reduced, our corner shop sell lodes of out of date goods and has been doing so for ever.

Having just read the "You know when you're skint..." thread, this seems like a particularly stunning form of utter madness
