I didn't see your second paragraph at all. I just don't think it's anyone's place to judge who what or how she donated the chickens. They are her donations and to think that the figurative "you" knows better about what she really should do is narcissistic.

Dude. This isn't about not wanting to get sick. This has nothing whatsoever to do with being lesser. This is about turning on the people who were trying to help you and seriously harming them for profit.

There is no shortage of food for homeless shelters or soup kitchens. If a homeless person wants a meal, they will find one. (I donate monthly to my local food bank as well as donate monthly to the APSCA)

This isn't about giving your rights away, this is about not being an ungrateful bastard. People are going out of their way to help you, giving you their time and effort and money and asking for nothing in return, but if an accident happens you take their house away? That kind of attitude is exactly why people started…

I'd give you more stars if I could

Exactly what I was thinking when you threw in your little...well, people need food too guys...

Soup kitchens can't take donations of perishable food from individuals either...without all kinds of licensing and certifications that it was stored and transported at certain temperatures, certain conditions...etc. There's a thread above that goes into a lot of the details/laws. They are there to protect the…

Wouldn't it be easier to just make everybody who take food from them sign a "I won't sue if I get sick off this food that is being given to me for free" paper?

Garbage pickers will sue? Couldn't stores work out a "pick at your own risk" policy?

Confirmed. I was at Publix late one evening and saw a mountain of fried chicken sitting in the case that was clearly not going to be sold before closing. I was curious if they donated it, and the deli worker said they had tried, but nobody would take it because they're afraid of lawsuits with prepared food. The stores…

Same reason you can't give muffin stumps...

That's likely not true at all. Shelters and soup kitchen have to follow strict food handling regulations— they can't take random pre-cooked donations. Donate however you see fit, but get off this lady's cloud.

I doubt the soup kitchen could take it either.

Yep, I think that's been a long running issue with restaurants, bakeries, etc who have so much left over product at the end of the day and can't donate because of the health code. Though I recently saw a Panera ad that mentioned their donation of food at the day's end. I don't know how that works considering that…

Are you for real?

Most food banks can't take perishable items, and most shelters get their food donated daily from grocery chains. You'd think it would be easy to give food away but it really isn't. (I worked at a bakery that threw away bagels everyday cuz no one could take them.)

Seems like this is the grocery store paying for the mistake of short-changing customers.

Because credit card tips ALWAYS make it to the staff. /sarcasm

The word "hero" gets thrown around far too often these days. However, in this instance....
