  I saw once at my grocery store they were loading a bunch of boxes on a cart to transport them to the compactor in the back. They had a cart with some vertical metal bars, but no fully closed sides thus the boxes could easily fall off of the cart. So they got a roll of plastic wrap and wrapped around the whole damn cart to create these “walls” so the boxes wouldn’t fall off. The compactor in the back was maybe 200ft away. Smdh.

  If you’re scrappy, you can just dumpster dive for your groceries.

    Careful not to such around long enough for the piggies to show up. Corporate considers it property theft, the ultimate crime.

      Also, some companies still put inedible chemicals like bleach or ammonia on their food trash to make it completely useless “as a legal measure” because otherwise homeless people who eat expired food might sue (according to the bean counters).

        This seems like a big liability. If they lock the dumpster or show other reasonable means of preventing scavengers then at best it’s a deterrent and at worst intentionally poisoning people entrapped by the legal hurdle of vandalism.

        IDK, seems like one of those things where there’s a kernel of truth but also possibly in-group rage bait.

    Nothing in the compactor is edible or salvageable.
