A heartwarming moment happened when i was at McDonald's one time, it was closing soon and I got a fish fillet (it was the only burger they had left). After i paid, the cashier lady asked if I wanted some free fries, and gave me a heaping stack of fries, poured straight into the paper bag. I didn't even need the fries but it was just so nice to see people being kind.
For those who are wondering, they aren't allowed to give the old food away because corporate says that it's a health and food safety violation to serve customers food that has been out all day. They do it to cover their asses in a legal dispute but it is still sad to see so much food wasted.
There has never been a lawsuit such as this. Homeless people famously can't afford things, much less a lawyer. Point being, companies say this simply to not give out free food and force people to buy it. Not about covering their asses at all as they are not serving or charging people for this free food, therefore it isn't a transaction. It is merely one party giving food to another
@@Hood_M3ruem I don’t think that would apply to the bulk of their customer base as people are typically eating donuts for breakfast or as a mid day snack
There was a lawsuit that happened many years ago with Tim Hortons.

That's just a bs made up reason to justify throwing away good food.

Plus people could even make a habit of just coming around for the free donuts. Making them lose potential customers.

If they start giving it for free, the marketing and profit will fall since no one will want to waste money on donuts which they can get it for free at the end of the day.
@@PsycheVFX But it will cause damage in their food industry. They will lose more customers since they will be able to get their donuts for free at the local charity instead of buying them.

What if I got sick after buying and eating their donut? Doesnt that give me the option to also sue them? Im confused with their logic on this rule policy honestly
@@CGGGold donuts have very short shelf life and shelf life determines whether the food has gone or could go bad or not(you could say its their expiration date)so if its given to ppl beyond its shelf life and they get sick related to eating that food then the company will be liable
@@donaldbiden636 ohhh I get the idea now. Thanks for the both of you for explaining. Im just the type to wonder because I lack knowledge on some basic things
My dad use to go to our local fried chicken place at closing time. He still bought a family combo but they’d always hook us up with extras. They’d give us double sides and double chicken. We legit did this every week.
I work in a food service industry. The reason we don’t give out expired food products, is because the company doesn’t want to get sued because of food poisoning. I’ve heard a story of a restaurant giving their leftovers to some homeless people. Apparently, one of them get greedy and sued the restaurant for food poisoning. To most companies throwing away expired food stuffs in the trash is cheaper than a lawsuit. TLDR: We can’t have good things because of greedy people.
you can just help pass a law that if you get the stuff for free, you take the risk and cannot sue the company. The real reason they dont give stuff out is because people wont buy and will wait around till closing time to get free stuff. It hurts sales.
You know how silly that sounds! The date is a BEST USED BY DATE and food does not automatically spoil or go bad once that date hits. As many hungry people as there are in this world that entire thinking is plain stupidity! Secondly, you don't have to work in the food industry to understand this - it is simple common sense. Back to donuts - those donuts were made THAT DAY - that is a waste of consumable items that could help the less fortunate. We have to get out of this worry of litigious mindset and use our brains to do the RIGHT THING!
In Germany, certain stores are in a program of an app called "too good to go" and it works in other countries as well(tried it in Ireland, worked there as well) and Dunkin donuts is also part of it. At least where i live. You can get stuff before closing times for cheaper in a surprise bag. And basically all of it is fresh and good. 10/10 can recommend it if you want to save some money and food . (6€ for 7 Dunkin donuts is a great deal)
Starbucks does the exact same thing. I knew someone who worked and he’d bring us literally a thanksgiving feast of Starbucks almost every night because of how much they’d waste
We need to make a new law, something similar to the Good Samaritan law, such as where drug users who are overdosing cannot be arrested to prevent people from dying. A law that would offer legal protection from accidental food poisoning would give businesses incentives to give away their food at the end of the day. “The good business act” could be the name.
@@Hotdogenthusiast btw like maybe they stop doing that becouse then all the people would wait when they will throw away? Maybe that is the reason too.
Yep. I worked at a small 5 star hotel and we used to serve some of the most amazing and expensive food for Sunday brunch. If there were food leftovers they would throw it out or us employees would steal it before they would do that. Like whole cheese plates with hundred of dollars of cheese and fruit. 😂 They claimed that can’t have a lawsuit for food poisoning so everything went in trash. America has a problem with food waste. 😢
Another reason why is bc people would pick them up and resell them they can't have that on a daily w so many consumers who could possibly do so ...they should donate them though so sad to see waste like that of any food . Also another reason why they can't give them away to regular consumers is bc people would stop buying them and just wait to get them for free
I used to work @ Quick Trip. During my shift I had to restock the sammiches. It was policy to trash em after you replaced em. I would put em in the cooler till my end shift and take em home. Hardly ever bought groceries for almost a year. Thx QT!
damn if I was a homeless person near Dunkin, I'd fking be so happy (Why is everyone acting so seriously? Jeesh. I would never take food from restaurants' garbages)
Wtf would a homeless person do with like 3 donuts, like yeah they could eat something but it wouldn't mean much, I'm just being bitchy since not only Dunkin Donuts does this but i think it's funny
it’s about more than just health concerns. It’s terrible business to give them away. People would stop buying donuts if they can just get them for free if they wait. Even the homeless, they might have been planning on using a dollar for donuts or whatever, but wont do that if he gets free donuts. Less money for the company.
I guess or they could sell the old donuts at a discount since they aren't as fresh and donate some to food shelters instead of wasting food that way they make a profit and help the world instead of creating food waste people out here starving create better solutions not simple ones
@@prizory1101"help the world" Since when the big corporate care about world. And the workers just try to do their job and not get fired. If we want to safe the world, well we need ti eradicated human. That us the fast and best method 😅😂
Sure, it's bad business practice, "profits, profits blah blah"... but it's still food going to waste when millions of people can't feed themselves enough in the US, and that's still pretty disgusting and shady to see even for someone like me who likes money a lot. You guys just need to pass laws to force good behavior and company practices around food distribution and consumption. As an example, in France, multiple laws have passed to force businesses (restaurants and stores) to prevent waste (such as stop to cook if the thing cooked ain't selling or always asking the customer if he wants a doggy bag to take home), make something of waste that hasn't gone bad either by giving it to an association or reusing it to cook future things, and if it has gone bad use it to make compost or feed animals. Aditionally, it's forbidden to throw or destroy food that's still good for human consumption, and if your business is big enough (either by size or money made per year) you must have a program to collaborate with a food aid association to give your waste and ensure the quality of what you're giving. There are even regulations around those lines in the industry/massive food production sectors. And even with all of those measures, it's still not perfect (notably because its difficult to enforce them everywhere, but most business go along with it), but we're on the right track. Thing's haven't gone terribly for businesses here, people are still buying, enjoying.
@@kimjancok bro the donuts weren't rotten in that moment, they made them sometimes ago but had to throw becuz it was the time to close the shop. So none would get food poisoning.
@@kimjancok that’s so true because I hear about it but then again, why not try to find out if the donut is still worth to be give away for free to come think of it do you know how much of a lifestyle does it truly have before if it is thrown away or recycle it maybe to be fed to something 😟
Guys I worked at Dunkin Donuts, the trash bags have dust and the plastic coating can come off on the donuts, I don't recommend this because most dumpsters have bugs that will crawl on food and than contaminate them, even if they seemed tightly tied up. Please DO NOT GO INTO THE DUMPSTER. Most of the time the donuts are thrown into a trash bag that is also being mixed with dirt and trash at random intervals. Don't think these people are smart, they are EXTREMELY disgusting.
I used to work at a similar place, very disgusting to eat these. It’s just left out in the donut trash bin and you throw out small random things inside of them too
One time me and my friends were baked and we went to Dunkin for coffee. Like 10 minutes before they closed and the lady asked us if we wanted free donuts. My eyes completely bloodshot sitting in passenger seat, I lean forward and say "for free?" She looked at me started dying laughing told us she got us. Came back with 2 garbage bags full of donuts.
I attempted to convince my local Dunkin to drop off their bags of donuts at the local homeless shelter at the end of the night. They claimed that it’s a corporate policy, HN Funkhouser, which it actually is. So it is not the Dunkin’s fault it’s a corporate fault, HOWEVER they have one security camera on the entire lot and it’s only over the dumpster 😐
Well it makes sense, because if they give the homeless people and the homeless people get sick, as a big corporation they can get sued for a lot of money.
@@darkknight9742 bro what? The donut is made that day and thrown out at 8:00 donuts can stay goods for days stop defeindinh a corporation wasting tons of foods every year
We have a restaurant called The French Baker here in the Philippines. 1 hour before closing everyday, in every store, customer can buy all the Bread and Pastries at 50% off. They'd rather lose money from sales than throw food away. I always stock up on baguette, sourdough, muffins, bagels, meat buns, etc...
Wait really? Damn. But isn't throwing away food a bigger loss than giving it in a discount. I don't get their logic tbh. But we'll done on their part to earn a bit more and save food
In the Netherlands they’re just fabulous, we came by like 20 minutes before they closed and we wanted to get some drinks and donuts and we ended up not paying for a single thing. Dutch people in general are really nice folks, always smiling and being respectful, at least the ones I met and I live in Germany so I guess a lot of them xD
I'm from Fiji and I worked at one of our Burger King outlets at the airport I can confirm that the garbage bags we used were all sanitized and clean and we had to throw Burger Patties out every 4 hours so we would time this with other items that would expire on holding and just throw them all in one garbage bag, take it to the dumpster about 400 meters away and remake the whoppers, we had a feed.
I just looked up "if a resteraunt throws away good food is it illegal" and it said its highly illegal in california to throw away good food so i dont know how this is legal
I have worked in 6 different restaurants and one of them was in a 4-star hotel and Yoshino ** , a restaurant that is already well-known especially in a hotel, indeed they throw away food that is still good even if it is just cooked when it is close to closing time, the reason is simple to maintain the quality of the food that will be served to customer.
They sometimes make cookies on Saturday that expire on Sunday. Sometimes my director will let me keep them on Mondays❤️ "May I dispose of these expired cookies?" He usually goes along with it.
I was 13 when me and my friends walked in to a Duncan donuts and they legit gave us boxes on boxes, asked if we wanted any sandwiches. Some people show love don’t know what that lady was scared of
They are literally not allowed to as it counts already as „expired“ furthermore, nobody’s going to buy anything when in the end of the day everything’s Free. It‘s a bit hard to explain it in english for me so if you are interested you have todo some research on your own
Companies avoid lawsuits. If a person gets very sick because of the donuts then the company is liable. So it's better to not give it at all and just throw them out to avoid a lawsuit.
Scared of being fired because Dunkin doesn't want free donuts handed out. If they could give them out for free then there would be a full line behind them at close of people wanting free donuts when employees just wanna go tf home
@@saviour254t9 not really the only reason. The main reason is probably because people would abuse tf out of that system and just wait at the end of the day to get free food, even if they have the means to buy it.
@@ungratefulmango yes, you’d be correct. However many people make orders and don’t pick them up or they make an order and they close before they picked it up.
@@ungratefulmangowhen I was working at a pizzeria, employees did a couple of pizza dough (like the circular form) to have them ready to use on an order but sometimes on slow days there is unused dough and it must be thrown away.. In the short time I was working there I would get a pizza a week because of leftovers
Fun story: Panera Bread does the same. When I was in college there was a guy that would come around every Sunday. He went around and collected all the bread about to be tossed and he would put it huge garage bags on a cart he connected to his bike and would distribute it among the local colleges, homeless shelters and halfway houses. There would be loaves of bread, pastries, cookies, donuts, you name it. He said he used to struggle in college and so he wanted to help those that couldn’t afford a lot or anything at all. The man was a legend to us.
They can't give them to people but you can quite literally do the exact thing they did and just grab them out of the trash. Nothing is stopping anyone from doing it.
Yea basically the reason why is because everything has a shelf life predetermined by someone else and anything after that shelf life given to customers would make the company liable for any food borne illness that one may get from eating that food
Me, has been showing up for free donuts at a donut shop round the corner from my house for 12 years. ( u can get them before they throw them in the trash and make sure I don’t get sick) my dad taught me this and he’s been doing it since 1996.
This is true of most bakeries. But it's up to the manager's discretion what happens. My first job was at Panera, and my boss donated ALL the baked goods to homeless shelters at the end of each and every day. He's still the best boss I've ever had.
@@ReecesInPieces You can, because various diseases can be spread and the company is held liable for any damages, sickness, or injuries. Companies can donate it to homeless shelters so liability is mostly out of the companies hands, but even homeless shelters do not this much waste.
@@mels271 Nope, this was many years ago. They have the "Day-End Dough Nation" program now, but my boss was doing it long before it was the standard policy.
It's because of possible lawsuits. I read that they companies used to give away the extras to homeless shelters at the end of the day but someone got "sick" and sued them so the practice stopped.
1. they tried to give it for free in the past and got sued when some homeless recipient of the food got sick 2. anything other than giving it for free at the store will add to operational cost, why bother 3. people are assholes. they will find a cheat to a system based on a goodwill.
There is a mall where they have a bakery kind of shop that gives everything at fifty percent off after 9pm. They also make an announcement in the whole mall about it. They sell all of it sells out by 9:15 pm.
they should actually change that policy. some shops do things like: 8:00 pm - 20% off 9:00 pm - 40% off 10:00 pm - 60% off 11:00 pm - 80% off 12:00 pm - FREE this is a really good way to not waste food, protect the environment, and help poor people.
If u had a small business would you want that? All ur everyday customers who make money for the business coming at night for free things? How much profit would you lose?
Krispy Kreme actually sells their leftover doughnuts to local farmers to feed their pigs. And I used to cook at a hotel that sold Krispy Kremes. Unfortunately, this was durong the beginning of the low carb movement so we had dozens left at the end of the day. They'd bring them to the kitchen and we'd put them in the break room and take them home. The hotel manager realized how much money we were losing, so we had to figie out ways to utilize them in the kitchen. I was the primary dessert cook, so i got creative. I started making bread pudding, milkshakes, made a dessert called Krispy Creme, Creme Brulee with a glazed goughnut baked in, strawberry shortcakes, beer battered fried doughnuts, we were making Luther Burgers, grilled cheese. It was wild.
I used to work at dunkin 2 years ago and they do this everyday. The reason is because of the yeast in the bread it rises overnight and “could get people sick” because you’re under light. I gave homeless people almost everything I would double bag the donuts, bagels, etc so when I threw them in the trash they would still be clean so they can eat them and get the after hours. Did that for years
When I was homeless..I had a relationship where I just waited out side end of the night..and they basically let me take what ever I wanted from the bin and then would dump the rest
Someone in the comments said about expired food. The donuts arent expired. The actual reason why they dont give away the donuts is because when humans find a loophole they get greedy. Imagine a bunch of people coming in after closing time to finnese unlimited free donuts. It all ties back into greed.

My dad use to go to our local fried chicken place at closing time. He still bought a family combo but they’d always hook us up with extras. They’d give us double sides and double chicken. We legit did this every week.

@@tropicalgoblin2023 there's no homeless who cares about health bruh
I work in a food service industry. The reason we don’t give out expired food products, is because the company doesn’t want to get sued because of food poisoning. I’ve heard a story of a restaurant giving their leftovers to some homeless people. Apparently, one of them get greedy and sued the restaurant for food poisoning. To most companies throwing away expired food stuffs in the trash is cheaper than a lawsuit.
TLDR: We can’t have good things because of greedy people.
you can just help pass a law that if you get the stuff for free, you take the risk and cannot sue the company. The real reason they dont give stuff out is because people wont buy and will wait around till closing time to get free stuff. It hurts sales.
…..
@@wrongturnVfor and they choose not to donate the food because it's more effort than throwing it away
You know how silly that sounds! The date is a BEST USED BY DATE and food does not automatically spoil or go bad once that date hits. As many hungry people as there are in this world that entire thinking is plain stupidity! Secondly, you don't have to work in the food industry to understand this - it is simple common sense. Back to donuts - those donuts were made THAT DAY - that is a waste of consumable items that could help the less fortunate. We have to get out of this worry of litigious mindset and use our brains to do the RIGHT THING!
Expired... At the end of the day?
When homeles be waiting donut see her 😮
In Germany, certain stores are in a program of an app called "too good to go" and it works in other countries as well(tried it in Ireland, worked there as well) and Dunkin donuts is also part of it. At least where i live. You can get stuff before closing times for cheaper in a surprise bag. And basically all of it is fresh and good. 10/10 can recommend it if you want to save some money and food . (6€ for 7 Dunkin donuts is a great deal)

@@boltuchiha8120those businesses are weird for throwing away kilos of good food away daily
Fr💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 bro
one of the reasons why food shops stopped giving food away is because people claimed they got food poisoning and sued the place
And also because employees would make more than necessary just for freebies at the end of the day
We need to make a new law, something similar to the Good Samaritan law, such as where drug users who are overdosing cannot be arrested to prevent people from dying.
A law that would offer legal protection from accidental food poisoning would give businesses incentives to give away their food at the end of the day. “The good business act” could be the name.
@@Hotdogenthusiast btw like maybe they stop doing that becouse then all the people would wait when they will throw away? Maybe that is the reason too.
Yep. I worked at a small 5 star hotel and we used to serve some of the most amazing and expensive food for Sunday brunch. If there were food leftovers they would throw it out or us employees would steal it before they would do that. Like whole cheese plates with hundred of dollars of cheese and fruit. 😂
They claimed that can’t have a lawsuit for food poisoning so everything went in trash. America has a problem with food waste. 😢
Another reason why is bc people would pick them up and resell them they can't have that on a daily w so many consumers who could possibly do so ...they should donate them though so sad to see waste like that of any food .
Also another reason why they can't give them away to regular consumers is bc people would stop buying them and just wait to get them for free
I used to work @ Quick Trip. During my shift I had to restock the sammiches. It was policy to trash em after you replaced em. I would put em in the cooler till my end shift and take em home. Hardly ever bought groceries for almost a year. Thx QT!

You’d be fat if you at them all
not just happy you would also have diabetes as well
from all those sugar you would be a fat homeless person
Man, they can literally feed many homeless people with that much donuts.
They can't, or if they did , they would get fired
Yeah but after a few days of eating it they'll need medical and dental care too.
Wtf would a homeless person do with like 3 donuts, like yeah they could eat something but it wouldn't mean much, I'm just being bitchy since not only Dunkin Donuts does this but i think it's funny
Then end up diabetic with more problems 🤔😰
but then no one will buy them in the first place. everyone will just wait till the end of the day to get them free.
They took " Fresh Everyday" to a new level 💀
Bro ate the donuts with trash particles in the dumpster 💀💀
it’s about more than just health concerns. It’s terrible business to give them away. People would stop buying donuts if they can just get them for free if they wait. Even the homeless, they might have been planning on using a dollar for donuts or whatever, but wont do that if he gets free donuts. Less money for the company.
I guess or they could sell the old donuts at a discount since they aren't as fresh and donate some to food shelters instead of wasting food that way they make a profit and help the world instead of creating food waste people out here starving create better solutions not simple ones
@@prizory1101yeah bakeries here in Sweden all sell “yesterdays bread” for a discounted price.

Who the heck would wait till like 11 PM for them to close and get free donuts??? Wasting my sleep time.
Sure, it's bad business practice, "profits, profits blah blah"... but it's still food going to waste when millions of people can't feed themselves enough in the US, and that's still pretty disgusting and shady to see even for someone like me who likes money a lot.
You guys just need to pass laws to force good behavior and company practices around food distribution and consumption.
As an example, in France, multiple laws have passed to force businesses (restaurants and stores) to prevent waste (such as stop to cook if the thing cooked ain't selling or always asking the customer if he wants a doggy bag to take home), make something of waste that hasn't gone bad either by giving it to an association or reusing it to cook future things, and if it has gone bad use it to make compost or feed animals. Aditionally, it's forbidden to throw or destroy food that's still good for human consumption, and if your business is big enough (either by size or money made per year) you must have a program to collaborate with a food aid association to give your waste and ensure the quality of what you're giving. There are even regulations around those lines in the industry/massive food production sectors.
And even with all of those measures, it's still not perfect (notably because its difficult to enforce them everywhere, but most business go along with it), but we're on the right track.
Thing's haven't gone terribly for businesses here, people are still buying, enjoying.
they would rather throw it away then give it for free 💀
If they gave out the donuts for free and the person eating the donuts had food poisoning, then Dunkin could be sued for a food safety violation

@@kimjancok bro the donuts weren't rotten in that moment, they made them sometimes ago but had to throw becuz it was the time to close the shop. So none would get food poisoning.

bro robbed the place without committing a crime
When me and the boys starve, we pull up at the dunkin
Guys I worked at Dunkin Donuts, the trash bags have dust and the plastic coating can come off on the donuts, I don't recommend this because most dumpsters have bugs that will crawl on food and than contaminate them, even if they seemed tightly tied up. Please DO NOT GO INTO THE DUMPSTER. Most of the time the donuts are thrown into a trash bag that is also being mixed with dirt and trash at random intervals. Don't think these people are smart, they are EXTREMELY disgusting.
I used to work at a similar place, very disgusting to eat these. It’s just left out in the donut trash bin and you throw out small random things inside of them too
I thought the same thing
nahhh this is just another government statement to stop us from getting something for free
What is really disgusting is that they throw away completely untouched food when there's hundreds of hungry people in their own country.
@@fueyo2229once people realise others can get it for free, it devalues the price of the item.
One time me and my friends were baked and we went to Dunkin for coffee. Like 10 minutes before they closed and the lady asked us if we wanted free donuts.

I attempted to convince my local Dunkin to drop off their bags of donuts at the local homeless shelter at the end of the night. They claimed that it’s a corporate policy, HN Funkhouser, which it actually is. So it is not the Dunkin’s fault it’s a corporate fault, HOWEVER they have one security camera on the entire lot and it’s only over the dumpster 😐
Thats madness
Well it makes sense, because if they give the homeless people and the homeless people get sick, as a big corporation they can get sued for a lot of money.
You gotta think, if they didn't do this you would have dirty businesses selling week old doughnut.
It’s so they don’t get sued

We have a restaurant called The French Baker here in the Philippines.

That’s a great way of advertising for the store❤and great way to not waste food!
In Japan also do that with their bentos

In the Netherlands they’re just fabulous, we came by like 20 minutes before they closed and we wanted to get some drinks and donuts and we ended up not paying for a single thing. Dutch people in general are really nice folks, always smiling and being respectful, at least the ones I met and I live in Germany so I guess a lot of them xD
Ja bruder bei dunkin donuts kriegst du die manchmal zum halben preis oder so wenn die zu machen

I'm from Fiji and I worked at one of our Burger King outlets at the airport I can confirm that the garbage bags we used were all sanitized and clean and we had to throw Burger Patties out every 4 hours so we would time this with other items that would expire on holding and just throw them all in one garbage bag, take it to the dumpster about 400 meters away and remake the whoppers, we had a feed.
OMG greetings from tonga!

OMG I'm fron texas
at the restaurant i work we throw all of the left overs away as well, but employees are allowed to eat all of it for free if they want to.
I have worked in 6 different restaurants and one of them was in a 4-star hotel and Yoshino ** , a restaurant that is already well-known especially in a hotel, indeed they throw away food that is still good even if it is just cooked when it is close to closing time, the reason is simple to maintain the quality of the food that will be served to customer.
Chick Fil A does the same thing. The one that I worked at didn't even allow the employees to take anything
They sometimes make cookies on Saturday that expire on Sunday. Sometimes my director will let me keep them on Mondays❤️ "May I dispose of these expired cookies?" He usually goes along with it.

I was 13 when me and my friends walked in to a Duncan donuts and they legit gave us boxes on boxes, asked if we wanted any sandwiches. Some people show love don’t know what that lady was scared of
They are literally not allowed to as it counts already as „expired“ furthermore, nobody’s going to buy anything when in the end of the day everything’s Free. It‘s a bit hard to explain it in english for me so if you are interested you have todo some research on your own
Companies avoid lawsuits. If a person gets very sick because of the donuts then the company is liable. So it's better to not give it at all and just throw them out to avoid a lawsuit.
Same thing happened to me and a friend when I was 14😂
Scared of being fired because Dunkin doesn't want free donuts handed out. If they could give them out for free then there would be a full line behind them at close of people wanting free donuts when employees just wanna go tf home
@@saviour254t9 not really the only reason. The main reason is probably because people would abuse tf out of that system and just wait at the end of the day to get free food, even if they have the means to buy it.
I would do this but I gotta stay in weight for wrestling 😭
Do it then give the donuts away to homeless people
Also, check pizza spot at closing. Always ask politely.
I was under the impression that pizzas were made to order
@@ungratefulmango yes, you’d be correct. However many people make orders and don’t pick them up or they make an order and they close before they picked it up.
@@ungratefulmangowhen I was working at a pizzeria, employees did a couple of pizza dough (like the circular form) to have them ready to use on an order but sometimes on slow days there is unused dough and it must be thrown away..

THIS!!! If you pick up the trash in the parking lot before asking you can probably get whatever pizza you want!!
@@collinalvarado1462 nah, hawmie. Free is always better.
Fun story: Panera Bread does the same. When I was in college there was a guy that would come around every Sunday. He went around and collected all the bread about to be tossed and he would put it huge garage bags on a cart he connected to his bike and would distribute it among the local colleges, homeless shelters and halfway houses. There would be loaves of bread, pastries, cookies, donuts, you name it. He said he used to struggle in college and so he wanted to help those that couldn’t afford a lot or anything at all. The man was a legend to us.

yea its true, my mom used to be a manager, so she'd just donate them instead of throwing them away.
Companies say if you're willing to eat it, you're willing to pay for it. It's actually quite pathetic.
That’s disgusting that they “can’t give them away”. I don’t care if that’s the managers decision or corporate, something has to change
It's business thats how it works
It’s corporate, they don’t want to give them away because then people will just wait until they close and they won’t make profit
This literally happens EVERYWHERE
They can't give them to people but you can quite literally do the exact thing they did and just grab them out of the trash. Nothing is stopping anyone from doing it.
Yea basically the reason why is because everything has a shelf life predetermined by someone else and anything after that shelf life given to customers would make the company liable for any food borne illness that one may get from eating that food
This is true. We use to donate to homeless shelter, but it became a safety problem (as someone could grt sick from the donuts)
Me, has been showing up for free donuts at a donut shop round the corner from my house for 12 years. ( u can get them before they throw them in the trash and make sure I don’t get sick) my dad taught me this and he’s been doing it since 1996.
tbh i really wanna just hit the manager with a "why?" like it doesnt make sense to me to just throw out food
My favourite part was when he said “ it’s Dunkin’ time” and dunked all over everybody, truly the moments of all time
Ich jö when he saided its cumming time and aberso he came over their all faces, truly ichsi the moment or all time😢
This is true of most bakeries. But it's up to the manager's discretion what happens. My first job was at Panera, and my boss donated ALL the baked goods to homeless shelters at the end of each and every day. He's still the best boss I've ever had.
@@mels271 manager can do it anyways, imagine getting fired for helping someone.
@@ReecesInPieces You can, because various diseases can be spread and the company is held liable for any damages, sickness, or injuries.
Companies can donate it to homeless shelters so liability is mostly out of the companies hands, but even homeless shelters do not this much waste.
I used to live in a youth shelter, panera would donate their pastries there. It was awesome.
@@mels271 Nope, this was many years ago. They have the "Day-End Dough Nation" program now, but my boss was doing it long before it was the standard policy.
This depends on business models. A great thing but he was on the hook for away lawsuits.
It’s the same for Krispy Kreme they throw away at their donuts too but they’re in boxes so they’re definitely fresh.
Jit really went there kind of the lookin like heisen burg
It's because of possible lawsuits. I read that they companies used to give away the extras to homeless shelters at the end of the day but someone got "sick" and sued them so the practice stopped.
“I can’t sell it, so nobody can have it”
☠️☠️☠️
1. they tried to give it for free in the past and got sued when some homeless recipient of the food got sick
2. anything other than giving it for free at the store will add to operational cost, why bother
3. people are assholes. they will find a cheat to a system based on a goodwill.
Bro was DETERMINED 💀💀
"why are u in jail"
"donuts"
There is a mall where they have a bakery kind of shop that gives everything at fifty percent off after 9pm. They also make an announcement in the whole mall about it. They sell all of it sells out by 9:15 pm.
they should actually change that policy. some shops do things like:
8:00 pm - 20% off
9:00 pm - 40% off
10:00 pm - 60% off
11:00 pm - 80% off
12:00 pm - FREE
this is a really good way to not waste food, protect the environment, and help poor people.

Krispy Kreme actually sells their leftover doughnuts to local farmers to feed their pigs.
And I used to cook at a hotel that sold Krispy Kremes. Unfortunately, this was durong the beginning of the low carb movement so we had dozens left at the end of the day. They'd bring them to the kitchen and we'd put them in the break room and take them home. The hotel manager realized how much money we were losing, so we had to figie out ways to utilize them in the kitchen. I was the primary dessert cook, so i got creative. I started making bread pudding, milkshakes, made a dessert called Krispy Creme, Creme Brulee with a glazed goughnut baked in, strawberry shortcakes, beer battered fried doughnuts, we were making Luther Burgers, grilled cheese. It was wild.

I used to work at dunkin 2 years ago and they do this everyday. The reason is because of the yeast in the bread it rises overnight and “could get people sick” because you’re under light. I gave homeless people almost everything I would double bag the donuts, bagels, etc so when I threw them in the trash they would still be clean so they can eat them and get the after hours. Did that for years

Someone in the comments said about expired food. The donuts arent expired. The actual reason why they dont give away the donuts is because when humans find a loophole they get greedy.
