Nah.. It's not a matter of that bank being punished. This kind of stuff happens every day around us. It's just the way this system works. Here's somethin' related in a way to the subject.I hope Karma catches up with the bank. Yeah, I'm sure some good people work there, but oh well, Evil Bank should had thought that out beforehand. Yes, I'm saying I want the bank to go belly up and people lose their jobs.

This is senseless waste, but wanting more hungry people out of work for things they had nothing to do with is just as ignorant as anything else.
Yes, well, I let a thing called emotions get in my line of thinking. Granted, didn't stop me from hitting 'send'. Err, submit reply I mean.
I work in a supermarket deli and we also throw away loads of salads, sandwiches, roast chicken, meatloaf, fried chicken, soup, etc. I guess that years ago we used to sell the sandwiches at half price at the end of the night but then people waited until the last minute for the low price. So that was the end of that.
I have a relative that works at a grocery store, and he said the same thing, they used to either sell it half off, or give it to the local food bank, but in the last 5 years, it comes to this. The grocery store and other big business get paid to sell their garbage by the pound, and food adds to the poundage, so, they throw away the food to get a profit. They'll go the extra mile by donating two carts full of bakery items like bread and pies, but once those two carts are filled, the people are escorted out of the store and the managers pat themselves on the back at a job well done at being labeled as a business that gives back to the community.
this happens all the time at the hospital where I work at,in their cafeteria. they're constantly throwing salads,bags of chips,soda/drinks, and pre-made sandwiches and such away to put "fresher" stuff out. when inquired about maybe giving that food away,since it's still mostly still good, the workers said that they were told by their boss it must be thrown out,and he doesn't want it donated. and there's a Salvation Army/soup kitchen not even 3 minutes down the road.
