Okay, we all admit that to squeeze the wheat germ out of a loaf of bread and
leave it is quite juvenile and only hurts the next person who doesn't wants
a loaf of bread. Waste like that to a store is called 'shrink' and is
factored in to their profit margin, so it's no real skin off their noses.

So........store xyz really REALLY does something to piss you off. What do
you do. I know the rational, adult answer would be to contact the store's
owners, corporation, or what have you. But everyone at one time or another
just has to 'do' something. What do you do.

Example from what was done in grocery store where I once worked (and this
was done by the employees)

Store was given a new manager (managers are rotated on a yearly basis, so
not a big deal). Manager was, however, one of the biggest pieholes ever put
in a management position, not caring who he offended or stepped on to make
himself look good. Man was a bigot, too, but he managed to hide that from
upper level ownership .....until.......

It was the Jewish holiday, Passover, and along with all the Easter prep,
corporate sent a memo out that there should be a display of kosher foods,
since the area the store was located in had a small but growing Jewish
population. Mgr. definitely did not like Jewish people, he hated others as
well, but this holiday gave him a forum to vent his hostitility. He put up
a display, covered with aluminum foil, as is wont to do to prevent kosher
food from touching shelving that may have held non-kosher food, and promptly
stocked it with 'left over' items from the back room. He was loathe to toss
anything out, so outdated foods were kept in the back to be 'recycled' in
some other fashion. Part of the display was a broken fridge with outdated
meat in it as well. Realize, he had been pressured to put up this display,
so when it was up, he ordered one of his stock boys to" 'take a damned
picture' so I can send it to corporate to get them off my ass" then get this
shit out of here. Off he stalks on a rampage as to why 'those' people can't
eat normal food.

While minion was off getting the camera to take the picture, some unknown
soul, I have an idea who, but am not sure, went over to the meat display and
picked up a pair of pigs feet on the styrofoam board and propped them up
right in the middle of the display and made it look like they were the
centerpiece. Minion comes back, not knowing bupkis about Jewish dietary
laws, snaps the pics, takes them to the 1 hour developer and sends them to
corporate. While the pics are developing, the pigs feet disappear and the
manager oversees the dismantling of the display. It was up maybe a few
hours on a weekday. Needless to say, when the pictures reach the corporate
offices, said manager finds out that he works for 'one of those people' by
finding a corporate representative on his doorstep the next morning. Not
only was there no 'Kosher for Passover' display to be found, but not enough
fresh 'kosher' items could be found in the store to stock one if they put it
up immediately. To keep from offending the Jewish community, as no one
really knows if anyone saw the display or not, a crew from the main
warehouse came in and set up a huge display and offered give aways and made
a big deal of how the company celebrated Passover. He came back walking a
little funny after the 'few days he had off'. He still treats his employees
like crap, but at least he keeps his bigotted opinions to himself. I
personally would have fired his ass if I were in the position to do so, but
I think he has been made to realize that he better enjoy his little spot on
the ladder as the rest of his rungs to higher aspirations were sawed in half
by his own ignorance.
