If he'd waited for another hour worth of cleaning down and throwing away everything into sealed and numbered bags.
No free meal there unless he managed to smuggle it out in his pocket or something.

Ah. Big Business and their tax breaks.
I used to hate throwing food out (worked as storeman on the backdock for a big supermarket). Questioned it, as I knew there was a church soup kitchen down the road that would've benefited greatly. Got told "It's a tax write off.", essentially if they gave it away they'd lose the ability to write it off as a loss for tax purposes.
Greed over philanthropy every time.

This sounds about right, but as staff we used to get sold on the 'security' angle.
ie 'We trust them enough to frequently put them on the tills, but are still convinced that all of our staff are thieving cunts. So, if you record something broken, out of date, contaminated etc as waste, you must be able to trace which number bag it went into, and retrieve it from the skip the next day, just to prove you've thrown it away rather than take it home. Unless you can produce the item up until the time the skip lorry arrives, you're out of a job.'
