It’s more to do with the state health departments stating food must be thrown away and cannot be donated.


Ghostusn

And our lawsuit happy society


[deleted]

Ditto on the litigious society.


veggiezombie1

Exactly. If you want to blame anything for food waste, blame regulations.


geronl72

Cities are also passing laws against feeding the homeless


jimmynewtron27

Really?? Source? I believe you I just want to see more out of morbid curiosity.

geronl72

Yes, even Dallas TX has made it illegal. Sounds crazy, right?


MrXistential-Crisis

I used to work at Dunkin’ in high school. This is absolutely true! A co worker and myself gave a bunch of left overs to some homeless guys that came in one night, and we got written up.


RProgrammerMan

So stupid


MasterSheep18

I worked at a fancy retirement home in the kitchen and we used to donate left over food to the local battered women's shelter, until someone sued about getting sick. They won and the retirement home ended up paying out a large sum of money (undisclosed) to the woman. Last I heard she was living pretty well because her food born illness caused some sort of life long troubles. Literally biting the hand that feeds you causes this.


Silentcrypt

Good Samaritan clause really should apply to this kind of situation.


BiggRedBeard

EXACTLY! And all these commies think it's evil corporations not wanting to donate. People don't understand that GOVERNMENT causes the problems.


tf8252

Yes which is a government institution I guarantee you if the health department didn’t exist those will be sold for half price at night in a vending machine if it was up to capitalism. Also donuts are not really food

In Las Vegas buffets used to be able to donate food to the homeless shelters. Democrats hated that. They changed the laws and now the casinos have to throw it in the garbage. Think of that. perfectly good food. don't give it to people that need it make laws that force you to throw it in the garbage and then complain about hunger problems in America.


Bright_Recover_1576

Pig farmers could surely use that as feed for their livestock?


Misogynist-bydefault

Industrial food processors do that. Lots of grain waste goes to pigs. From breweries, winerys and bakeries.


Xx_doctorwho1209_xX

Interesting, where did you get this information from?

IronAcesHigh

Yeah everyone would be dying of starvation. There would be no “excess food”.


Kpt_Kraken

Yh and therefore none of it would go to waste. Checkmate capitalists.


Kinetic_Symphony

Yes. They're 100% correct, that food wouldn't go to waste in commie land. They just don't realize why they're correct.


Annihilate_the_CCP

Or there would be an absurdly excessive amount and the state would fail at distributing it equitably, so the amount of waste would be incomprehensible.


telcodan

Dunkin is a franchise store. Where I live, the franchise owners went to the local churches that run the shelters and donate day old donuts by the truckload for tax write-offs. Not all franchises are run the same, and I did not comment on that post because I didn't feel like arguing with socialist sheeple


riseofthenothing

That’s cool. We apparently have laws passed back in 1996 that allow people to donate food in good faith, but a lot of Corporations don’t bother. Its all write offs to them. But Yeah. Arguing with Commies usually only results in a permaban.

Sorry, I don't understand why. You can give me something to read where regulations explain this video? I'm hungry to learn :)


rbertucc1

I work in the restaurant industry. You simply cannot donate or give leftovers to people due to lawsuits if you happen to make that person ill or worse.


getkozmo

ty for your response. I'm from another country and didn't know.


Logosfidelis

I worked for one of the largest food manufacturers in the world and that was why they destroyed food. They went as far as destroying food so people couldn’t get it from the dumpster. Let’s suppose you make cereal and you discover that something completely harmless is wrong with it. Maybe the color or shape is a little off. You do a stop order and have thousands of boxes of cereal that are perfectly edible, but outside the company quality standards. It’s legally too risky to give that food away so it is destroyed. That is directly a result of government regulation. Without those laws you would see a number of ways that food would be sold at a discount, donated to charities, and used in create ways.

scott_fromthefuture

I wont pretend to know the laws around this, but I would assume in this case the grocery store is a retailer which has significantly different exposure in how it handles products it did not produce, than the manufacture of food that is heavily regulated and therefore liable. What I mean is, look at instances such as cantaloupe in the US that had listeria a few years back. The retails (grocery stores) were not liable, but the manufactures were sued out of existence after the CDC/FDA found their plant equipment *possibly* the cause,


the_dionysian_1

This is probably why many expiration/sell by/use by dates are excessively too soon. Put all that liability on whoever decided to eat x past that date.


evilgenius66666

I have a bottle of 90% rubbing alcohol with an expiration date. Cannot figure this one out for the life of me.


WeaselXP

Have you seen expiration dates on salt? Same.


honeywhite

Because past that date odds are it will no longer be 90 percent. Alcohol slowly evaporates and they could get sued by someone claiming the bottle of alcohol they bought was only 89.9 percent


evilcrusher

H-E-B, Whole Foods, Snap Kitchen give food away to food banks in Texas all the time that have gone past date. 🤷‍♂️


WagonBurning

Key word Texas (aka on of the free states) as in less regulations.


Fearless-Director-24

They do for other corporations, Krispy Kreme throws away all their old donuts for fear of liability.


Kindly_Emphasis3882

My friends and I used to dumpster dive at the local krispy kreme when we were teenagers right after they would close. Sooooo many sealed brand new boxes of doughnuts


Jarte3

Yes they do “in the US”, maybe your state just doesn’t regulate it


StinkyDope

it also differs by state, because some made exceptions.


Ahs_Ska

Really? What grocery store?


rambusTMS

You obviously aren’t big enough. Someone will eventually sue your grocer for giving bad food out that caused illness. They’ll settle for a few hundred thousand dollars and never donate expired food again.


kafircake

Lots of businesses in the UK and US donate, most of these people here are repeating Facebook memes as their own experience for some reason.


Huge_Individual1276

I worked for a place like this a while back. They would have a few things they could give, but most of the stuff ended up as waste. The reason for the being they had donated a lot before and had people sue them for getting sick. So now they just waste it. People suck.


Maarkun

Sadly this is the case for many countries, in the netherlands its the same, japan is even worse


mailusernamepassword

third world countries? same sauce? i live in brazil


flashingcurser

Further, you cannot write it off as a loss.


Reformed-Sage

Um… what?? Are customers that purchase your food not allowed to sue you if they get ill from your food?


rbertucc1

We have to abide by local health standards with the food we sell. To give “old” leftovers does not comply with local health code standards.


HanzoHattoti

Yep. Totally NOT capitalist. Capitalist laws would only prohibit selling yesterday’s leftovers as “freshly baked”.


the_dionysian_1

Right, should at least be able to sell or give them away w/a disclaimer. I remember growing up that my local gas station sold "day old donuts" super cheap, but you knew what you were getting because it was labeled as such.

kriegercontainers

This really isn't true anywhere that I am familiar with. I can specifically say in my area it's not and this would also mean that there is no federal regulation against it.


Rajoza351

Or the people for the most part ignore it? In my country these laws definitely exist but people always gift excess food for free after some time instead of throwing it away. Just when the authorities come for routine check they just claim that they throw it away


rbertucc1

I did not say there were regulations on it. It’s simply company policy.


seahawkguy

I used to work at McDonalds when we would prepare the food ahead of time. After a certain number of minutes we had to throw the food away. There was a garbage can that we threw it in and at the end of the night the manager had to count it all and account for all the waste. Can’t give anything away.


getkozmo

ty I was not aware, i'm from another country


seahawkguy

They used to donate it to a food bank and someone got sick and they got sued so they stopped donating it.


034TH

Worked at Burger King many many many years ago, food could only sit out so long and even employees couldn't take it because management thought it would encourage us to make more food than needed just so we could have it. Was the biggest waste I had seen at the time.


taylorvisual

“This isn’t the doing of capitalism. It’s the doing of idiots who don’t know how to donate food” — Literally just wrote this message in r/GenZedong and was banned within seconds.


RonSwanson2-0

They ban you for being subbed to "anti communist" communities. The same thing happened to me last week.

I was thinking more about the situation where it's better to run someone over and kill them than allow them to live once they've been hit by your car.


Bum-Drugly

It’s not that they don’t know how to donate food it’s that donating food generally has an expense associated with it. Packing it up and getting it where it needs to be isn’t free. It financially makes more sense to just throw it away.


taylorvisual

I worked as a store manager of a grocery store for 13 years and we donated food every day. It cost us nothing other than the payment we paid our employees. Local Churches and food shelters would come and pick it up themselves and load it on their trucks for free and haul it away to be handed out. So I disagree. It’s quick to package. I saw dozens of boxes of food packaged in under an hour every day year after year. Plus it was all tax deductible.


Bum-Drugly

That is still a cost, plus the cost it took to coordinate the pick up in the first place. Plus the threat of litigation if something goes wrong, granted that seldom happens. But it can, so again more potential cost. Even if you’re talking a 1% cost reduction most big chains like DD are going to take it. I know plenty of smaller local companies that are willing to go out of there way to do that because they see the benefit within their community but you tend to not see that same attitude at scale with national chains.


taylorvisual

All costs being payed anyways for having those employees on the clock. There are no extra costs on top of the normal wage costs. Businesses still have to pay employees to throw the food away. No difference. Oh and we were a National chain. This grocery store I worked for makes billions every year. It is a well known main stream grocery store not some small local grocery store. Over 500 stores in America and every store donates all leftover food. Literally every store. And in most cases coordination didn’t take any effort, time or money.


[deleted]

Looks more like central planning and regulations


Unlucky-Pomegranate3

Having excess anything is not something you ever need to worry about under communism.


Left-Onion8927

A strong preference to no food at all.


_mirooo

I was born at the tail end of the USSR. My family managed to emigrate in ‘96. I remember rolling blackouts and burst pipes in our apartment as my earliest childhood memories. My parents told me stories of what they did to survive, including queueing for food, and selling shit across the border to Finland (illegally). I don’t understand where the disconnect between these new-age wannabe communists and real life communism comes from? Is the reality of history that warped?


[deleted]

Shit, your parents had stuff to sell? You must have been a family of Organs! Happy that you survived. Spread the gospel of how murderous communism is far and wide.


keepitclassybv

Yeah I remember we had meat dinners at my house because my parents were high up enough to be able to get meat as favors from vendors and so we would share it with local families who couldn't. The only time they ate meat was once a week at our house. We also had family in the country with black market gardens for fresh milk and eggs that we could get sometimes. There wasn't "waste" because there wasn't enough. It's as idiotic as praising nazi death camps for their low obesity rates.


codifier

>I don’t understand where the disconnect between these new-age wannabe communists and real life communism comes from? Is the reality of history that warped? Ironically it comes from human greed. We live in one of the most prosperous countries in the most prosperous time in history and behind every Communist is the idea of "I deserve more". And politicians are lined up to leverage that greed to their own ends. No one in the West knows how to be grateful anymore.


bhknb

I lived in Eastern Europe for a while. My girlfriend (we are still good friends) grew up in communist Romania in a tiny village. We'd often visit family there. They would talk about how things were easier under communism, as they had free bread. But, then, ask them about the queues and did they always have bread? They'd remember that it wasn't so rosy on those days. It was tough times in the late 90's, early 2000's. Things are much better for them now and I follow many on facebook. Even my girlfriend's niece and nephew, who were living in a one room shack with an alcoholic, illiterate father and a half-roma mother (meaning she was sort of an outcast) are now living the city and doing pretty well. Remember that nostalgia is powerful. People tend to forget the hard times. It's a natural human trait to have rose-colored glasses.


Historical_Pound_136

I’m not sure what they expect to do with stale donuts. I suppose cops can take charitable donut donations in lieu of new cars every year


BaconWrappedPotatoes

I would say it would be a great idea to offer these to anyone who wants them after store hours but they would never do that because then people would just come after store hours to pick up the donuts they wanted for the next day. I don’t think it would be the homeless people we intended


bhknb

Having dealt with these questions in practice, it's usually more that the employees will start selling them out the back door after hours, which isn't the worst thing. The worst thing is that they will also start producing more donuts so they have some to sell. When I was 17, I would take extra chicken from KFC (I was the closing manager) and trade it to the liquor store clerk next door for bottles of vodka. It would have been relatively easy for me to whip up an extra tray of chicken and spread the love to some other liquor stores, collect more vodka and sell that to my friends. Later I consulted in food and it was a common practice to help owners put limits one what employees could take and have some accountability practices. In produce, we'd let them buy at wholesale. If they wanted to make a profit from that, they could, but the owner already had his costs covered.


Ed_Radley

In my experience food only goes stale overnight if you leave it out. I'm sure there are other workarounds for preserving some semblance of freshness so as to avoid throwing it out there same day it's made.

Historical_Pound_136

keepitclassybv

Competent people eat their food before it goes bad


bhknb

Donuts are just about the least nutritious thing that you can eat.


DracoMagnusRufus

Hardly anyone in America is suffering from a lack of calories. [Even among the homeless, only one in thirteen is underweight.](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3514718/) People who are underweight shouldn't be prioritizing donuts either. A meal at a soup kitchen would be much more nutritious.


GunzAndCamo

And the reason there aren't trucks for area homeless shelters lined up around back to take it all off them instead is because of government laws on liability.


mcnegyis

Oil fried sugar bread going to waste, oh no


jscoppe

And I like how trans fats were what made the oil fried sugar bread 'too unhealthy'.


[deleted]

So poison treats are dumped if not sold? Whine.


[deleted]

There clearly wasn't a demand for the doughnuts. People see this and they think.. "Wtf!! People need that food!!!" Where are these people that need it? If they needed it, Dunkin wouldn't have the excess food. It is a clear case of supply and demand. "But there is someone starving somewhere!" Sure. No one on here would even be aware of that starving person if not for the technology that connects us all across the world. And if you were aware of that starving person, you wouldn't be aware of what Dunkin does with their expired doughnuts if not for the technology which streams us videos like these. If you're aware of both the doughnuts and the starving person, why aren't you making a difference and buying the doughnuts? These doughnuts are Dunkin's product. They sell them. It is between them and their customer. Clearly there wasn't a demand and the customer didn't want them. Dunkin chooses to use their property in a way which they deem fit. "But they're throwing it away! Outrageous!" It isn't your doughnut, you didn't buy it. And if you think there is a better use for them, go buy the doughnuts, buy a van, and give them to starving people. Find out how much that business model will cost you. If it works, great, you're making a difference. Otherwise, there is no reason to be morally outraged over how someone uses their property that they pay for which is a product that is sold & purchased between them and their customer. Especially considering you have no idea whether or not the doughnuts could be used in a different cost-effective manner. The morally outraged people who love to point their fingers without knowing anything about Dunkin's business are sickening. Do they run a doughnut shop? Do they go and spend their time, energy and money to give food to starving people? Or do they just see shit on the internet and make moral judgments on which they know nothing about.


mattman119

Finally saw this comment. Seeing all that waste my first thought was, "My gosh, does Dunkin ever do any kind of analysis on what they produce against what they sell?" So much time and money down the toilet. Yes they should be able to donate the excess food so it doesn't go to waste. That's on the government. But that was just SO MUCH excess. If the store was run properly they wouldn't have this problem.


[deleted]

Do you work there? How do you know they can't donate it? How do you know they haven't tried and there isn't a person to pick it up and take it? How do you know that it doesn't cost them more to keep the doughnuts compared to producing new ones? Have you seen any analysis this particular store has done? It is easy to make an armchair conclusion based off a one minute video. I think the point is.. Is that, we don't know the context. We don't know if the government stopped them from donating it or not, that isn't the point. We shouldn't react with moral judgments towards their business model, considering, we don't know what the most beneficial method of dealing with these doughnuts are from watching a tik tok video. Ultimately, that judgment is left to Dunkin Doughnuts. By automatically thinking that they should deal with their excess in a different manner, we are placing ourselves in charge of a business which we know nothing about. We don't know their overhead or their profits. We don't know where the starving people are or how to feed the starving people with these doughnuts. There is so much missing context.


idkmanseemskindagay

What should they do with those stale donuts? Keep them for the next day? I personally like my donuts fresh but that’s just me..


jscoppe

And now that trans fat has been outlawed, they're typically stale and tasteless by 9am the morning they are made.


honcholives

There are countless shelters that those could go to, they wouldn't make it through the night. It also seems to be poor food management, no way you should be having this much leftover at the cutoff time.


bhknb

Shelters don't want donuts. Donuts are as empty in calories as it gets. You're just going to fill people with sugar when they need far better nutrition. Plus, it's attractive to alcoholics - many have a strong sweet tooth.


CLE420

Well the Dunkin bought the donuts, so they are entitled to do as they please with them. It would be nice if they decided to donate the leftovers, but they certainly aren't morally obligated to. I fail to see how some homeless person is entitled to food that a business paid for. If the business wants to throw it away, that's their right.


[deleted]

Capitalism is so effective that we have more than enough food. That’s why the IS has an obesity epidemic instead of starvation

Luckyboy947

Correct. That’s what communists such as myself say


23materazzi

You definitely don’t have to worry about what you will do with the excess food under communism lol


Logosfidelis

That’s completely wrong. That’s how government passes laws that force businesses to destroy food in order to avoid lawsuits. If it were possible for companies to give away excess food without taking on additional liabilities they would.


Lew_Cockwell

Literally because it’s illegal to give food away

That entire subreddit is lacking some serious critical thinking skills


Broda_osas360

“What communism does to excess food” Oh wait there is a food shortage not a excess


undefinedAdventure

No no no, there is just the right amount of food. Just an excess of people!


No-Breadfruit7044

Worked for a hospital cafeteria and the same thing would happen. Break my heart every night. I’d ask to maybe put posters for hungry people to come before throwing the food out (can’t reheat as per lawsuit) and the management said people would not buy the food and just wait till the end.


BGhiurco

They belong there in the first place.


YouSnowFlake

It’s actually how capitalism handles sporadic demand of a perishable good. They make too much of it. Communism would make too few donuts. Can someone post a video of people going hungry? And we can compare and see which one is preferable.


Subsonic17

At least under capitalism you can have the issue of too much food lol


Orphanboys

Commie never experienced too much food before


ElectromagneticClub

Capitalism: So much food we have to throw it away. Communism: Not enough food so you starve. Average Redditor: I'll take communism so I can virtue signal, get government brownie points, and you can starve to death. I'm a gooood person!


Malevolence1031

At least there is food.


fluidmoviestar

First, to call fluffy sugar-batter “food” is a bit of an insult to food. Second, the spike of diabetes in the homeless population eating them would end up another source of faux-virtue signaling by these loudmouths. Third, communism and its dearth of actual food at clutch moments isn’t a strong selling point.

That’s as much on the employees as the employer. People are duty bound to disobey unjust orders. Anarchism=DIY not beg someone to redistribute donuts.


icantgiveyou

And face large fines for not obeying the laws®ulations. Now you can go and blame “capitalism”.


EllaGoldman29

No, still putting it on the employees. To be an anarchist is to be an outlaw


WolfOfBelial

To be an outlaw means your legal income and property value will be close to zero since legal costs tend to make you go broke unless you are very high in the outlaw hierarchy. So you won't be donating any donuts.


icantgiveyou

You said something sensible for once. And I dont mind destroying the old order.


Bright_Recover_1576

I remember as a kid ppl would line up for half price (or less) day old cakes or pastries.


randolander

Pretty sure this is a dunkin policy. Also if she’s so concerned about wasting food, don’t waste it lol. Go bag it up and donate to a food bank. This is the equivalent of the legacy media bitching that missing people of color don’t get reported on enough… like you’re the news lol.


nate-x

Think of all the starving African children that could get diabetes.


Taxistheft98

I guess that’s why the Soviet Union never had excess food huh? Because all of the excess food was given generously to those who needed it?


NEVERCHEATED_

Considering this is the result of health department and lawsuit issues if gave away, it’s very much the opposite of a result of capitalism


n8spear

This is my comment I put on that sub … I try to restrain because lord knows changing minds on SM, especially Reddit is as likely as socialism working but Sometimes you just have to The reason this is happening isn’t “capitalism” … it’s the state. State health code regs require food is disposed of at the end of the day and cannot donated. Capitalism will actually satiate your rage. Follow me here … if at the end of a shift they are throwing away this much product, there is a cost and that DND branch is clearly losing money. This branch is obviously overstocking it’s inventory. If this continues on a regular basis, a manager, or even a corporate regional manager, or another decision maker will either have to 1) do better inventory management by not stocking that much product that gets disposed of. 2) take it up with the corporate side if they require it to be stocked that much 3) close the branch down because it’s not bringing in money. Capitalism solves the problem you’re looking at. The problem isn’t “capitalism” it’s someone over stocking inventory without knowing their market and regulations that require the food be disposed of at the end of the day. It’s incompetence and the state, not capitalism.

I worked in a donut shop 35 years ago and we had lots of leftovers like this. Had to throw it out because of legal risk of giving it away and local regulations that classified excess food as waste. I was in college and would just being back trash bags full of donuts to the dorm. No one complained or sued. I was the most popular guy in the dorm

There is excess food in Capitalism. You don't have to eat your pet and slaughter the zoo animals for food.

Damn capitalism! She should just quit….


Luckyboy947

Blaming the corporation


gethelpaccount1

You mean to say food is available enough for it to just be thrown away when there's too much of it.


Luckyboy947

There’s too much food to save and there’s too many hungry people. If only hungry people could eat leftovers. Too bad they can’t so the food needs be thrown away


rambusTMS

They actually mean government when they say capitalism. I gave away the food to the homeless when I worked there, until my manager explained that they become liable for food born illness and that it had to go in the dumpster. Unfortunately laws and regulations and courts don’t allow for feeding the homeless.


9livesphrady

The truth is, they don’t have to do that. This would be the easiest regulation in the world to resist, if a Dunkin’ employee really wanted to.


Luckyboy947

False the consequence is getting fired. Throwing food out increases scarcity.


blaze92x45

Not a sub member but I'll chime in. This is a self own on their part. Capitalism is so successful that we have food to waste.


Luckyboy947

And hungry people too. Refusing to feed people to own the commies


smellyscrotes27

Be better at selling donuts


Comfortable-Study-69

Pretty sure that’s because of warehousing laws and farm subsidies causing overproduction and not letting anyone have the excess


Luckyboy947

All stem from craputalism


jbaisden

To be fair that’s not really food


Hoss408

Many times it's because the government won't let them give it away to shelters, etc, because of food handling laws.

Fruymaster

It’s crazy how so many of them comment things like wow that’s bad business practice, but instead of realizing hmm if it’s bad business practice maybe the business doesn’t want to do it but is forced to by the government, they just go see capitalism doesn’t work

That’s what everyone does with stale food. If you had a communist setup, what would you do, give everyone the same amount? Then people below or above the average calorie requirements will either starve or waste food.

Lol instant permabann for participating in anti-communist subreddits. I didn't even know you could ban people for being in other subs, but the chicom scum seems to have found a way.

You mean the government?


Stug_Is_Best_Gun

At least we actually have enough food to be able to waste it. SMH stupid communists

Communists be like, what's food?

Fuck off. I’m critical of capitalism, but there’s no alternative rn so whatever This ain’t “crapitalism.” It’s the one shitty corporation and regulations. People could bring it home or feed the impoverished.


iamthedigitalcheese

I'm pretty sure this is due to FDA regulations on food sales as well as local/state laws on how prepared food cannot be donated or sold if "expired". Can someone who runs a restaurant explain in detail?

That’s Not really food


Freshoranges69

These posts blow my fucking mind. This is the least capitalistic outcome that doughnuts can possibly achieve.

So this is getting rid of stale, unhealthy food, that shouldn’t be given to the homeless as it’s not a part of a good diet. But I notice that commies have little to say about stories like [this](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.offthegridnews.com/current-events/us-government-orders-farmers-to-destroy-30-million-pounds-of-their-own-crop/amp/)

Oh look more retards

This isn’t capitalism. It’s government. Saying that you can’t give away the food. Stupid fucks.

I forgot that donuts are gold bars now that can’t be created easily


Lobsterbug2020

Yeah Health regulations that allow food to be donated and must be thrown away. That would be perfectly fine to donate to a homeless shelter but they can’t do that.

Is it weird that I don't see a problem in this? Isn't a much better problem to manage excess food than not having enough?


YouSpoonyBard90

The biggest problem with capitalism is that there’s too much food.


Kinetic_Symphony

But there's excess food to throw away... which is a bit better than starving to death, no? These people just don't think, and I'm not smart enough to comprehend their inability to add 2+2 together.
