    The fucked up thing is that anon could actually be fired for this.

    I was homeless for a bit and there was a woman who worked at Panera who would help me out. A couple times a week, she gave me a day old loaf of bread they were planning to throw out. That bread was like 75% of my daily calories, so she was basically keeping me from starving.

    Corporate fired her for giving me the bread instead of throwing it out, then sent someone to confront me and ban me from the store. The guy from corporate gave me a BS line about “liability” when he was kicking me out.

      This must be an international thing. I have almost exactly the same experience but as a student. Older lady from the shop got fired as giving dated food was considered liability and stealing.
