Sometimes I leave work late and end up passing a bakery/cafe type thing just after they've closed. I see them mercilessly dumping sandwiches, pastries and bread into a plastic bag and putting it outside on the street for collection.
I so far have not stolen a bin bag full of pastries but I have been tempted.
Thoughts?
I used to help myself to this sort of shit all the time back in the day when I was considerably more poor. Sometimes people can be arseholes if they see you taking it, and it is very technically theft, but most of the time people don’t care / will calm down if you explain yourself.
Dunnes bakery in crouch end used to (and I believe, still do) donate a lot of bread and baked products to a group making sandwiches and sort of packed meal kits for distribution to unhoused folk in central London.
Talking of baked goods and commutes:
