I used to own a grocery store and it is amazing how much food has to be pulled. People just won't buy something which doesn't look perfect in their eyes. I used to have a lady come every day and take it to a soup kitchen. Technically, that was probably not even legal - I know restaurants have to jump through hoops to give their leftovers to homeless, for example.
I do understand that dumpsters get locked. We had people come by at night and make huge messes for us to clean up in the morning.....

That's so fascinating to hear it from the grocery-store-owner's perspective! I had no idea that people would leave messes like that...how rude.
Yes, it was rude and also got us into trouble. For a while, we had a medfly quarantine and any fruit or produce had to be double bagged in plastic trash bags. If any was showing - fine. Well, we did that. Then somebody came at night to dig for rabbit food or something (if they would have let me know, I would have saved it for them to pick up) and left a mess.
The inspectore came first thing in the morning. Boom. Fine.....
