Nowadays there is a charity that collects the food that businesses throw away and uses it to feed homeless people, called Second Harvest, but I think at the time it wasn’t around yet or didn’t exist in that area. I can’t remember the exact protocol on the food throwing out but I think maybe they had to render it inedible or something. I always thought it was such a weird thing, especially considering that so many of the people who worked there could have taken it to their families as a nice side benefit to working a crap job, but I guess it was to prevent managers from deliberately making too much then profiting from the leftovers and thus reduce the dreaded “shrink.” Also known as employee theft.
