Written scenario · Ethics, Equity

Day-old bread

You work evening shifts in the bakery section of a grocery store.

Store policy is to throw unsold bread into a locked dumpster at closing; the manager says giving it away creates liability. You find out that your coworker, Hamid, has been quietly handing the bread to people who sleep near the store instead. He asks you not to say anything.

The two questions

  1. 1What would you do?
  2. 2Should businesses be allowed to throw away edible food rather than give it away? Explain your view.
