Although I've never cruised a garbage can, myself, I dated a guy, in high school, who worked at a fast food joint, and was always careful when he closed up and threw away left-over but still good food (which is an every night occurrance in fast food joints) to make sure that it was lying on a layer of clean newspaper and covered up by a layer of clean newspaper, in case someone went through the can looking for food. This seems to be not uncommon. When I was in college, I knew a homeless man who got food from fast food garbage cans, and said that the people who worked there saved food for him. Fast food restaurants, of course, cook food in advance, and if no one buys it they have to throw it away. But the employees aren't supposed to give the food away because of the fear that they will intentionally cook too much food just to have the excuse. Strange world.
