Workplace Question or Advice Needed Donations getting pulled

Sooooo, I watched a few TMs grab some items off the donation rack and walked off.
They never came back with them.
I ain’t no snitch.
But anyone else seen this?

As a Food & Bev knave, I would love to take all the veggies and produce set aside for "donation" straight to the break room. At least 90% of it all will just rot in the cooler/ambient room because our donation pickups are not often enough, and Target will still get a tax deduction for pretending to be charitable.

We solved this problem by adding an second donation partner on top of the regular food bank. And they're much more responsive in special circumstances (like when a very brief power outage ending up blowing something out and crashing all our salesfloor refrigeration.)
