But, as someone who worked in a grocery store... long, long, long time ago... we would set 'good' stuff out of the dumpsters. Legally we could NOT give it away, but we didn't like the thought of people in the dumpsters either. So we accidentally left the still-edibles on the side.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667481504650498976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603895221264624626.post-37236879552422056962009-03-13T10:01:00.000-07:002009-03-13T10:01:00.000-07:00Please don't start dumpster diving.
