62. It isnt just those stores, and it isnt just clothing
take a fast food store, Subway for example, that has to throw away a LOT of food at the end of the night. All unsold cookies, all unsold soup and all unsold meatballs in marinara sauce.

Imagine a mother of three kids working at this establishment who could take that food home and feed her children for several days on the what she is throwing in the garbage. She is only making 7-8 dollars an hour and has trouble making ends meet because of the cost of living combined with her low wages.

Why not box the food up and take it home?

Because she would be fired if she did.
