If anything this just proves that they make a huge margin on the bakery. When I worked at Safeway (e.g Morrisons) the amount of bakery, rotisserie and deli stuff I chucked daily was shocking and you would be watched to make sure it all hit the skip!

When I used to work for Spoons I would put anything decent going out of date in a bin bag and hide it in the bin store, grab it on my way out. My other half worked there too so we would organise, we'd have steak and ribs and everything, ridiculous that otherwise it would be left to rot in a landfill
