Just wondering if anyone does this. I occasionally find food that expired yesterday. Of course it’s still safe to eat but the shop has no choice but to trash it. So why not nick it?
And what if you get caught? Do they care that you were stealing something they had to waste? The value is zero. You’ve only cheated them out of accurate book keeping.
I think in general this will be treated pretty similarly to stealing unexpired food.
But this reminds me of dumpster diving, which atleast in some regions and some circumstances is actually legal.
