I remember one time when I was very young and working as cashier at a grocery store a family came through (mom, dad, and like 2 year old kid). They scanned their EBT card and it came up like 1.25$ short. The mom said she would put the bread back and I just did a manual coupon for 1.25$ to 0 out their balance instead. They acted as if I'd just done something so amazing for them but like this is a multi-million dollar company I think it can afford to give you a 1.25$ coupon so you can have bread? To me it wasn't even a big deal. We gave stupid boomers coupons to shut them up when they compained all the time. But America is so backwards that helping someone out in need is seen as a shocking thing. While it's entirely normal to give free stuff to annoying petit-bourgeois who are having a temper tandrum.
Many places in the US have laws that prevent you from feeding the homeless. Most, if not every state has laws to prevent you from dumpster diving, but also laws to prevent you from giving away food that you're going to throw away. Kids can rack up lunch debt.
"School lunch debt" is one of the most vile phrases in the English language.
my job throws away mountains of food and we'll be fired if we take any home even though we all openly did for years until a guy was like no that's against corporate policy
burger king had a lock on their food waste bin.. i used to purposely leave it unlocked in the hopes it was helping someone somewhere
