I went to the bakery where I get my lunch from late a few weeks ago and they didn't have what I wanted there.
The lady at the counter said 'it's OK I'll make you whatever you want'.
'So what happens to this stuff that's left over' I asked

'It all gets thrown out, piles of it every night'

I chose something that was already there, but walked off feeling sick about all the waste.

I'm sure they aren't the only ones.

Surely something could be done by a charity to redistribute this ?
