Looks like the bank missed out on a huge opportunity. They could have seized a good PR moment by planning an orderly distribution of the food that was otherwise going to be destroyed. In addition, they could have claimed the value of the food as a tax write-off.

What an outrageous disgusting waste. They should be ashamed of themselves.

I have to agree with texdav. The bank would have a difficult time explaining to their insurance company and investors why they would take on the added liability of distributing food.

The wasted food is almost as disgusting as the people who needed to be restrained by the police becasue they didn't get a free handout.


This world is sick in more ways that I can count.

Something is seriously wrong with this world.
I don't think the people wanted a free handout.
I'm thinking there is more to this....

Frito Lay does the same thing EVERY day.

When chips go stale, drivers are to open the bags end empty them into dumpsters.

Prior to this, they would either give the chips away for free or just toss them into the dumpster in tact in the bag.

But no, some hobo got rich when he got sick eating an expired product.

Now THAT'S the American Dream.

Who would pay for all the lawsuits from upset stomachs, food poisonings and whatever else someone could dream up. It's so easy to say what someone else should do.
