A woman who until recently worked at a BP garage claims taking any leftover food meant for the bin was strictly prohibited and regarded as a "sackable offense". Maggie* says she and her colleagues were forced to throw out bin bags filled with food every single day, with many waste items still perfectly edible.
Amid the ongoing cost of living crisis, Maggie is now campaigning to get all supermarkets to follow Tesco's lead and offer food waste to staff members at the end of the day. Speaking with the Mirror anonymously, she has shared a photograph of a poster she claims had been displayed in the staff room, warning that eating any waste food would be considered a "gross misconduct."
