Too bad they force you to throw the food away now, supposedly to prevent this very thing from happening

Now I'm not sure why it happens over in USA, but in my country the reason we throw away our food is because of health and safety regulations and all that blah blah blah. Sometimes though you might be able to get a free meal

anon had a wife? I call bullshit.

It never says anywhere that he pays for it. I guess that's why it's only corporate restaurants

This is extremely inappropriate, basically stealing from hard working businesses just to feed some dumb lazy person.
