    - My mom totally played. A lot. - Kim Pine Aug 21, 15:29
    - 40 year olds were playing console games in '85? I thought it was only teens and kids then. -- nm - zork Aug 21, 15:23 4

How the top 5 supermarket chains fare when it comes to throwing away/donating food. -- (link) - loosilu Aug 21, 14:51 16
- "Even with legal protections, many companies, including Costco, are still concerned by the prospect of a lawsuit. " - Dr.Vermin Aug 21, 15:32 1
  - another concern is that employees might be diverting things "too early" while it still has shelf life but wants the shelters to get it - zork Aug 21, 15:39

  - I had a friend teach me years ago how to order, fill up at the salad bar, then get your entree wrapped up to take home. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 21, 15:16 8
    - Which works if you're going home or have plenty of ice in the cooler ;) -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 21, 15:21
    - seems like you'd be missing out on the entree at its best. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 15:17 6
      - Arguably. A good poll would be to name some food that's better the next day. - Dr.Vermin Aug 21, 15:18 5
        
        beef stew -- nm - amoxy Aug 21, 16:23
        
        yes to your IM - any kind of casserole or noodle dish ... soups ... but not much else -- nm - JenBro Aug 21, 15:36 1
        
        also cabbage rolls -- nm - zork Aug 21, 15:41
        
        Italian foods made with sauce and cheese. little else. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 15:19 1
