UK Supermarket Employee Fired Over Donut Waste Protest Sparks Debate

A food waste controversy in a UK supermarket led to disciplinary action against a long-serving employee who chose to eat discarded donuts during a shift. The incident highlights ongoing debates about waste, charitable donations, and employee conduct within large retail chains. The worker, a 28-year-old named David, had spent time at the store and grew frustrated by the amount of food that ended up in the rubbish despite items being unexpired and still safe to eat.
