Why are they allowed to return them? This is a disgusting policy, and impacts badly on small business, which can't afford returns of unwanted goods. I think Americans get a bit of a shock when they try this s**t on in other countries.

Some of these types of practices are to abide by government food safety regulations or to protect against lawsuits

I hope that the "Too good to go" gets populaire around the world. Dunkin in the Netherlands Dell doggybags of all "not bought donuts" 5 minutes before closure to buy at half price. You dont know what you get, but iets not thrown out either.

Yep. The food places at my college did this too. I once walked by one of them as the cleaner was dumping everything. He'd just opened a fresh trash bag and started dumping all the leftover donuts, bagels, muffins, scones, etc into it when he walked around the corner to grab something. The hallway was empty so i just grabbed it before he came back. Ket a few for myself and shared with the other broke af students around campus.

This is not true. Official Dunkin policy is to donate all left-overs through partner orgs in local areas. This might be an individual franchisee, but not corporate policy.

Saw this all the time when I worked maintenance at a truck stop that had a Dunkin Donuts attached to it. I'd always take out trashcans filled with donuts. Those bags were heavy too! Don't even get me started on the kitchen bags though. They had whole pizzas and tons of food thrown away through out the day.

While people starve

Fu** health regulations. If you can sell it until 7:00 it will still be good 07:05. What a shame.

Yeah this is normal, by end of day s**t has been touched a bunch of times, and MANY people will wait for half off on s**t, just MANY s**t employees will hide things if you let them take home. I seen jobs where they give you old food, 9/10 I will find the shift manger or whatever hiding s**t for his dinner when he gets home...

We used to sell them as Day Olds, no waste and if you wanted them you could take them.

Aww what a waste... when people wasted their foods, reminded me for those who are starved especially children.. 😔😭

yep, they're doin' that here in Austria as well. totally crazy what you see in the bins behind the shop after they close.

Most of these are independently owned, some of them are nice and give them away when closing (shhhhh) some aren’t that nice

I struggle to believe this, only because I've never gotten a donut from Dunkin that tastes fresh.

That account name doe!!

Only in the for profit health care scam in the USA.

a diamond obtains its monetary value not from any intrinsic property or usefulness, rather from the value we give it in society, which itself was manipulated by marketing campaigns from mining conglomerates advising people to gift diamonds to their partners for weddings, it's like a successful scam like the whole apple a day thing

My frames just broke for the third time and the eyeglass place told me "oh, well, you bought the cheap ones, nothing we can do unless you spend $100 to replace them." My dollar store readers have lasted longer than my prescription frames!

The last hospital bill I got was itemized. Parking: €2.50.

Depends on the store. Two of my regular stores keep stock in the back (different sizes of clothes, additional products that ran out on the shelf).

or....here's a thought, maybe not be stealing?

Profits have removed all ethics from American business.

I went to a taping of America's Got Talent with Howie Mandel and Scary (Mel) Spice as judges. EVERYTHING is completely fake, and I do mean EVERY PART OF THE SHOW. It is all pre-planned and pre-scripted. While I knew some of it was, I just didn't know to what extent. Never will watch any of those type of shows again!

Nope, not in all. Many times call center workers are grateful to put you on hold because we don't have to listen to the customer's whining, it gives us a sanity break.

Same with hospitals.

Joining a union is one of the very best things to ever happen to me. I’ll be a teamster at my new job. Union busters are untrustworthy despicable selfish people.

I heard a great analogy for this. It's like putting butter on bread. Buttered bread left overnight is still soft in morning, whereas plain bread left overnight will be stale in the morning. Just having something on your face will do the trick!

Also, why are they charging me $10 for a single generic tablet that probably costs them 15 cents to manufacture?

This is true in a lot of cases. Sometimes it takes more energy to recycle than it does to create new product so it’s technically worse for the environment. Try to create less trash in the first place

the depths we have sunk to

Apple was sued and proven that they did in fact make an update slow older phones to user would buy a new one. Never buy Apple crap.

Gross! At my place, the housekeeping is bringing down the glasses from the rooms for the dish-washer every single day.

fax!!

Its funny that people are selective over garbage bags...i reuse my shopping bags for that...

This is common practice

I always assumed it was just an animated gif. I would be amazed if it was actually connected to your pizzas progress.

I'm pretty sure that in my country they'd wake you up to avoid bad publicity. "Woman dies in Ikea show room bed. Goes unnoticed till closing time."

Airlines are stealing your s**t too. Dumb s**t also, like 1 shoe just to f**k with you.

Sounds like a lot of people should just be fired immediately. They should rather be working at a trash facility where they can throw stuff all day without ruining people's stuff. I had packaged that contained several hundred dollars that were destroyed because of these lazy bastards.

A friend of my mom's works for a local store chain, and they are told never to confront shoplifters. It's supposed to be for the employee's safety. People know this and walk out with all kinds of stuff.

Ah yes... Fraud because you don't like someone. That makes it okay.
