Do us all a favor and stay out of the food business. You don't understand it. You also don't understand why people would work at a job and not want to be the owner or, person in charge. A word of advice in the unlikely event you do wind up owning a company. You'll avoid high turnover and make better profits if you don't try to control every detail. Your employees make your company a success or failure, not you.
You're still on the selective reply train, eh? Tell us how many restaurants you've owned, please.
How much does the corporate empire you oversee give away every year Magnus?

Enough to give you a muffin when you're down on your luck.
Tell us your age and how many posions of authority you've had please.
Details please. I want to know what your revenues are and what your charitable giving is so I can tell you if it's acceptable.
I know you've never run a business because you're too much of a pussy to even answer business questions on an internet forum.
Tsk, Tsk. Ignorant and foul mouthed. You're a credit to your generation. I know the food business. You do not. It's as simple as that. What was your area of expertise again?
You know jack shit. And condoning the behavior of a random guy you've never met before on the basis of his "experience" confirms that.
Have your people call my people. We'll do lunch.
The old man didn't give away a muffin that was going to be thrown away, he gave one away that was going to be sold. So the company would be no more liable than if someone had bought the muffin and claimed food poisoning.

As a business owner, when you sell a food product you understand there is going to be some liability risk. It comes with the territory. Just like if you perform electrical work for someone and their house burns down due to poor workmanship, you're on the hook.
What's frowned upon is giving out free products AND still be on the hook for any liabilities. As much as we all like it when people or businesses are charitable, a business is there to make money. That's the bottom line. That's why every single large business have corporate rules in place that prohibits giving out free food on a random basis.
If there weren't policies against it (keeping most people from doing it most of the time so they don't get fired), it wouldn't be five muffins given away, or hundreds...millions of people would give away millions of items to their friends, family, crushes, etc. That's why those policies exist- if they didn't, no restaurant could stay in operation.
Yeah, people should use their heads...this guy obviously didn't. Once, maybe twice could be let go, but he was told to stop and he didn't stop. I don't care how great someone's intentions are...if I tell an employee four times not to give away MY property that I paid for and they go and do it again, they're stealing, and they're fucking fired.
Should people give to charity and try to help the homeless, etc? Sure. But with THEIR OWN FUCKING MONEY.
Imagine if he gave a much bigger supply for a shelter food drive.. would anyone be defending him then? But how is it that different?
So I'm the only one here who thinks it was pretty low to fire the guy over a muffin that very well might have been thrown away at the end of the shift?
Dude... he broke the rules and rules are FREEDOM.
Hey Robin Hood, Sherwood Forest is that-a-way >>>---->It is fucking depressing how cowed people are that they think that they need to defend a corporation over the loss OF A FUCKIN MUFFIN!!
