I think the main problem is that spoilage would be hidden by all the added shit (salt, spices, etc) that would prevent you from detecting moderate spoilage.

Not to mention it's going to be more expensive than just going to the deli and buying your own shit

we don't have use by dates really. the dates on our shit are like, the MINIMUM time for something to spoil a little, not even to the point where it can't be eaten. They are NOT for the consumer to know when the food is safe until- they're rules for how long a store is allowed to try and sell it.

When I toiled in the grocery mines, we had a free table for the employees for the food that was unsellable but still edible. After the employees got first pick, anything left over was stacked beside the dumpster to prevent diving. We were in a high traffic area in a university town with tons of homeless, yet we prevented lots of hassle that way. I've heard that the bigger chains do this, but seems like they're just inviting bums to shit/piss everywhere more than they normally do out of spite.

If somebody gets hurt on somebody's property, like while trespassing or attempting to rob them, they can sue the homeowner in many cases.

In stores' cases, they make the food inedible so that homeless people won't try to eat now-spoiled food, get sick, and then sue the company.
>Clothing stores will cut up clothes they're throwing out because they couldn't sell too.
That's more because they don't want their brand to become associated with poor people, thus driving their market value down. If a bunch of poor people were wearing balenciaga clothes they fished out of a dumpster, rich people wouldn't be willing to pay $1000 for a pair of sweatpants

I went for a sainsburys meal deal a few months ago, grabbed three things from what was allegedly the meal deal section, scanned it and it came to like a fiver. The wagie told me that none of those things were in the meal deal

It wasn't even great stuff, it was a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich, a thing of chicken satay things with dip and some drink. I had to get just a tuna sandwich, get one of the three crisp flavours and get a can, because bottles aren't allowed. Shit sucked and put me off for life

According to my grandma, Ready meals started appearing in the 60s, when divorces started becoming more common, meaning men who had never cooked before were suddenly having to either learn, or eat out constantly. So after everyone realized they were awful, they got worked on and worked on for nearly 60 years until today, where you can now pop down to a shop and get a genuinely decent meal (not like 10/10, but 6/10 for sure) if you don't microwave it and follow the instructions

It's common among the office drones. During the pandemic, entire stores closed down because the office people weren't visiting 5 days a week to buy their lunch

I usually preferred making my own sandwich though. I'd get a small, footlong baguette and some nice sandwich meat, or make egg mayo with bacon or something, a multipack of crisps and a thing of drinks, and it was always cheaper than a mealdeal daily. Plus I didn't have to waste 10 minutes of my lunch buying something.

Having been to the UK I can absolutely say they take that shit seriously and you can get some seriously good sandwiches there. My favorite one was like, the all day breakfast one they had that was egg, bacon and sausage with ketchup. There was a really good chicken salad one too, the meat was actual identifiable slices of chicken breast. It was weird after being used to soggy, shitty ham sandwiches at gas stations

I guess the smallness of the nation means you can get anywhere in the UK in a day, so their stuff is bound to be much fresher because of that. Meanwhile it could have taken a week for that sandwich to get to whatever small city you're in

My city's still a majority Labour council, has been longer than I've been alive, and they're utter shite. They keep getting given piles of money they spend on literally everything but the mass transport system they've been saying they've wanted for 40 years or so. They can't run the local NHS services if their own lives depended on it, which they probably do. Yeah NHS issues are generally nationwide problem but I've never heard anyone elsewhere in the country suffer the levels of idiocy the administrative systems here do. The leader before the current one consistently did fuck all of note but was regularly pasted on the local news every time someone reasonably influencial in the opposition needed to "scrutenise" the Tories, she pissed off to London go be a peer in the House of Lords a year or so back too.

I mean what something's marketed as and who actually uses it is very different. Buckfast Abbey wine is made by monks and advertised as a good way to unwind after work. It's primarially consumed by underage drinkers in scotland

>Tell me about pre-packed sandwiches
Very rare occasions, they are decent. I've seen them prepped for hospital self-service cafeterias for serving during off-hours, and they're very well made.
Starbucks does a great job with the egg salad/pumpernickel arugula sandwich, and they have tags that show expiration dates.
My university delivered sandwiches to a remote machine in my building daily, and it was just enough, like 6-10 only, and they went quick. It was one of those smartly stocked machines that had V8, yogurts with mix-ins, whole fruit and other good items that are beyond the usual salty chips and candy bars.

I'll get the egg salad occasionally at work. It's okay in a pinch but I cringe at the guys who buy that shit every day.

These sandwiches taste like shit and they are an utter waste of time. I understand convenience but it literally takes a minute and a half to make one and another half minute to pack it in a resealable bag.

It's frowned upon at work, though to be honest, as long as you're not working with machinery or something having a pint at lunch isn't considered a fireable offence in the UK

Why do people always spread this meme? They do it with the McDonald's experiment too

Any cooked or cured meat, including burger patties and cold cuts, is unlikely to show any visible signs of decay when left out for long periods, and it's not at all uncommon for bread to show no visible mold either, if you leave it out it's actually less likely to get moldy or rotten, since moisture is what breeds these things. It will show more signs of decay if kept in the bag and/or refrigerated

If you don't believe me, make a homemade burger or sandwich yourself and leave it out for a month and marvel at the frankenfood you just assembled out of two pieces of bread and an all-beef patty

Fugg, what I'd do for a Waitrose prawn sandwich, Pot Noodle, pack of pickled onion Monster Munch and prawn cocktail skips. Thank Christ I don't like in the UK. Unlike American junk food, the British stuff is legitimately good. Unfortunately I'm in Germany surrounded by crisplets.

For all the shit British cuisine gets (and it's fair, what you'd actually define as /cuisine/ isn't great) the crisps are pretty top-tier. The continent (esp. France, Belgium, Germany) has better supermarket chocolates and stuff along those lines though.
