There are surplus food donation programs: the EPA provides a guide that explains the legal protections & tax benefits with tools to find recipient organizations. When even Chick-fil-a runs one such program, the manager has no excuse to be a certified asshole.
The CFA I worked at (granted, a decade ago) was not owned by a certified asshole, and we definitely took home cookies with their blessing. There was a bin of "bad cookies" where they broke and ended up being for whomever. The bin would then be emptied if nobody else wanted them
Even handing some out to customers for free is a better idea than throwing food away.
