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.

When I worked at a supermarket we did it to vegetables and meat, but I was told it was just to reduce the amount of maggots and flies that develop while we wait for trash day.

I guess that’s at least a less hateful reason. Still weird and harmful imo
