What a waste!

Today I was at Target and I was grocery shopping. After picking out my food (20 minutes) I went to the register. As the clerk was ringing up my items I realized 1 of the 2 frozen pizzas I picked didn't have the instant $1.50 off coupon. I told the man "Oh, I'm sorry, I know it is a pain for someone to put this back, but I only want the pizza with a coupon."

He said "Oh thats ok, we'll just throw it out"

:-O

Come to find out that it is Target policy that once an item is removed from the freezers, they can't put it back!
I am appalled that they waste SO MUCH food! The clerk told me they used to give it to the homeless, but now it just gets tossed into the trash.

Lesson learned: Pay attention to what items I am buying, and If I do accidently grab the wrong item, ask if they can give me a discount and I will buy it anyway!
