It’s a great app and it really does help to avoid waste, but… I know a few businesses that went from donating their leftovers to charities for the poor to selling them through TGTG, because that way, they still make some money off of it.
Our local supermarket I worked at went the same way. Meat with only 1 day left used to be frozen in and picked up by the food bank twice a week, along with all the fresh produce that wasn't "presentable". Now it's sold at 60% off through a similar system.
Used to tear the contents stickers so they couldn't legally be sold anymore, just so the guys from the food banks collecting wouldnt leave empty handed.
