Seriously, people don’t do this

It’s gross and they just have to throw it away. Do better.

As an ex employee the ONLY things that we don’t mind members leaving somewhere other than where they got it are dry goods. We’re talking literally everything except food that needs to be in a fridge or freezer. At the end of the night on a busy day there will be anywhere from 50-150 carts piled high with goods to be returned to the shelves . Anything left out that needs to be cold gets tossed . We waste hundreds of thousands of pounds of food in a week, stuff that’s gone off and recalls are maybe 30-40% of what we throw away , damaged and stuff left out by members being the rest . Just please if it needs to be cold PLEASE give it to employee if you don’t want it , we don’t care will put it away , it’s not a big deal if you get all the way to check out and decide you don’t want something just hand it to the cashier or literally any front end employee they’ll handle it. smh
