    Well you seem educated enough that you would know when not to give it to someone. And yeah, it's pretty much just " this COULD happen". I still think it's stealing but in the victimless department. But I've always been uptight about that to the point that i'd always ask my managers for permission even if I knew they would give it to me. I do think it should end up in a belly not the trash. While I know the technical reasons places do that (some companies are worried the cooks will make food for themselves and call it a mistake)the reality is it's food and people get hungry especially if they don't know where their next meal is going to come from. And even though I think it is "technically" theft, only a *bleep* would ever try to make an issue out of it. If it was my business I wouldn't even bring it up even if you took the old food for you because you were hungry.but that's just my view.
