My workplace used to donate the leftovers from our meetings to a homeless shelter....then the lawyers got involved. Seems that if a homeless person got food poisoning or something from our food, we'd be liable....so, into the dumpster it goes.
I tried to get the department heads to order less food, but was ignored.
Life in the office...
I was a volunteer on the Bush-Cheney effort in Minnesota.
On Election Day, I was working out of the office, driving voters to the polls.
The campaign catered in a load of box lunches from Arby's. As the day went on, it became apparent that there was gonna be way too much food remainig.
A number of people grabbed extra lunches and took 'em home but there was still alot left. There was some discussion about donating them to a local soup kitchen or senior citizen dining center.
But then some lawyer warned us about the possible repercussions of doing this. As a result, a lot of good food was thrown out.
I was sorry to see that.
