Hardee's fired a manager of a store for giving the ends of roast beef being sliced (too small to safely slice) to homeless people instead of tossing them in the dumpster as required.

That was back in 1977.

Is that surprising? What happens if the person eating the expired food gets sick and sues the store?

My local supermarket (Market Basket) takes these deli 'ends' and repackages them and resells them at about 80% off regular price.
Roast beef, ham, cheeses of all types, bologna, salami, mortadella, olive loaf, chicken loaf, turkey breast...the works.

Great for snacking or slicing for sandwiches on your own home slicer.

A pound of roast beef for $1.50? It is my first stop each week.

Some policies that seem screwy like this are meant to eliminate liability (thank you heartless lawyer bastards) because if an employee eats a near expired sandwich and getrs sick they could sue the employer, nevermind the fact the same sandwich could have been sold 10 minutes earlier and make a customer sick with no recourse....
