Just go dumpster diving! I've noticed that Starbucks always throws out their left over bread stuffs. Perfectly good food. Plus, they double bag what they throw away so its clean.

A lot of places do this! Dunkin Donuts and just about every other donut place throw out their leftovers at the end of the day, and I believe Panera Bread does as well.

Which is the most stupid thing I've ever heard of. It literally benefits no one to throw that stuff away.

Pardon my ignorance, but isn't throwing away the food good for business? By throwing away the food, don't they create an artificially small supply? If they gave away the food for free, they would have to charge less for it, wouldn't they?

I guess it does benefit the company though. But this only promotes monetary greed.
