It reminds me of a story that happened a few years ago near Montréal. A father who had been on social welfare for a while finally managed to get a job in a Zellers store (retail store like Target), just in time for Christmas. While emptying the trash, he found a few chocolate bar that were past their expiry date and were bound to be destroyed. Thinking this could be a great bonus to put in his children's socks, he tried to bring them back home, but his employer "caught" him and fired him for theft!
On a similar note, I read that many retail stores (including Zellers) were destroying (compacting) their trash to prevent the poor from salvaging goods that were still useful from them... Even during Christmas.. What a crooked world.
By the way, for those who haven't seen the muffin top commercial referenced above, here's the link!

whats really screwed up is when a homeless man digs through your trash and gets injured and sues you... so you spend $10k on a trash compactor so you cant get sued again...
the fact that people are becoming so helpless and wont take the blame for anything is bullshit!

Is it? I think that is an urban myth. Can you show me any real cases of this?

The link you gave is to a forum, and the link from that to the article is dead - anything to an actual example with the whole story?

There is no link to anything other than that he had talked with a personal injury lawyer. Do you have anything that shows a suit was actually filed, or what the outcome was?
