Waste

There's one thing I really don't like here -- people here waste food. I don't know whether I am too sensitive or what. I am working in a bakery AKA cafe. I see food everyday. I see people throwing food everyday.

In the kitchen... My colleague would throw the whole sandwich away when the sandwich doesn't look good.

At the cafe... The customers will drink only half of their coffee/hot chocolate, or eat half of their muffins etc. And I have to throw them away. (will I be punished for 'wasting' food???)

At 'home'... My friend would throw away all the overnight dishes or the bread she brought back from the cafe if nobody eat them.

I feel really bad seeing people throwing food away. So many people are suffering out there. Catastrophe are happening in the other corner of the world. Yet people don't know how to appreciate things here. I know I sound like a granny now but hey, aren't we suppose to be grateful with what we have now? Tell me how to oversee these.
