my mom used to work in Tim Horton's and this is true:
they do throw out a lot of food. food that has touched the ground, I get, but sometimes when they get orders wrong, (say they heated up a cheese bagel when someone wanted plain) they would throw it out. to help them my mom brought home freezer bags full of bagels and muffins that were perfectly fine.
Not to be a jerk but.... despite what people think every burger thrown away and every extra nugget given out majorly effects food cost and food is the greatest expense of any restaurant especially fast food. When food costs are high and not managed properly please believe ur GM and owner will not be willingly paying their employees $15. Not because they don't to want to but because they can't afford it. It's easy to think all fast foods are owned by billion dollar companies but franchisees are just like any other small business owner who (shocking I know) doesn't take all the money from the dollar cheeseburgers in the register and bathe in them in a golden bathtub lol but does their best to maintain and reinvests in their business
So by that logic it's fine to steal a TV from Best Buy but not a small, locally owned electronics store? What are the exact guidelines? Does a business need a certain number of locations and if so what is the number? And is there a dollar amount worth of product that it's okay to steal? If so, what is the dollar amout?
1. It's not your place to decide. Until a customer purchases that food, it's the property of the restaurant owner, not you. They get to make the call on the food's disposition.
2. We aren't talking about food going to waste. The original post is about giving away someone else's property to make a third party happy. If you talked it out with the restaurant owner, they might be okay with giving extra to a customer right before closing if the food was just going to be thrown out. Back to point one though, that is the b owner's call to make, not anyone else.
