It probably makes sense for places that sell anything in glass containers (especially alcohol), because all it takes is one dumbass dropping something on the floor and someone else walking through it barefoot to have a liability lawsuit on your hands. Whereas if you put up a sign forbidding that and someone manages to sneak in anyways, you can say it was their fault for violating store policy in the first place.
"We were trying to give away cases of the food on Wednesday, but people were turning it down because they had no place to store a case of tomatoes, or cauliflower."
Sure, if I was starving and there's nothing else available, why not? Cauliflower has a lot of vitamins, certainly not the worst thing you could eat. Snubbing your nose at that sounds like privilege to me.
Not everyone who goes to the food bank is homeless. Plenty of people these days can’t afford grocery store prices and have families to feed, and cauliflower is a healthy and nutritious vegetable that’s full of vitamins. But nooo, apparently it’s too much of a hassle to cook it.
