I sure do miss working in the corporate world. NOT!

It absolutely sucks, but from a company perspective it's not about greed, it's about legal liability. If they provide food to a charity and someone gets sick from it, they are responsible for it. So the legal danger of giving away your "close to be expired" food is fraught with corporate danger.

Does it suck. Yes. Absolutely. But Joe opened them up to a potential lawsuit.

I wasn't sure if this was the issue or if it was because the cookies technically needed to be expired first to donate?
