Well not exactly, but I made it happen. They said, "It's your responsibility to make sure this food ends up in a garbage bag. I don't want it in our store so if you want to take it home, fine." So I would take a clean garbage bag, load it up with bagels and bring it to people in need. That really made me aware of the waste in the US and I'm sure of many other countries. Ever since then, I've avoided wasting good food.
