    I hope their appeal to the thieves to at least DONATE the pies doesn’t fall on deaf ears.

    I used to work in a grocery store and despised it when I found product in the wrong temperature zone - such as a milk jug in the freezer, a hot roasted chicken on the shelf next to the cereal, or a nice steak just sitting on an an endcap display. I was less concerned about the financial impact to the mega Corp, but I sure hated the fact that perfectly good food is now trash because some dipshit couldn’t be bothered to put it back where it belongs.

      Mkst frustrating I had experienced first hand was when I worked at a small, family owned grocery store. There was a cooled bunker display of grated parmasean cheese that was packaged in-house. One day I found a half-melted Carvel ice cream cake on top of the cheese containers. The frozen Carvel bunker was literally immediately behind the cheese. Someone took an ice cream cake out, turned around, decides they didn’t want the cake, and placed it on a slightly-cooler-than-room-temperature display when they were equally close to putting it back where it came from…

      I saw two packages of frozen food in the toiletry aisle when shopping with my sibling who works there and they just sighed and said it’s not the worst they’ve seen.
