I worked at McDonalds for 7 years while I was a school and uni - and it was strictly forbidden at my franchise to give away excess food. The idea of scavenging food is also unlikely. The excess stuff would be put in bins until a staff member was free to count it all. Some lucky chap would get the job of going through all the kitchen garbage bins counting every item in them - each slice of cheese, each trodden in bun or patty. This was all carefully recorded. The rubbish was then thrown into a dumpster in the carpark which was locked inside a small brick shed.Hoblit wrote:Very interesting. I had heard something similar about McDonalds from a homeless guy in Marietta GA. Not that they threw food out every 6 hours but that if you waited to a little after lunch that they would throw out food that was made for the rush but didn't get bought up. A few fish sandwiches and some burgers and a basket of fries. He said that it was always good to invest time at various Pizza joints near closing time. Hit or miss on that but it was the jackpot on good nights.anti-m wrote:That is actually completely true!

I've made no effort to corroborate his claim.
Any leftover food at the end of a night would be taken to the police station next door for the coppers to get into.
