That makes sense. Last week I realised a tin was dented at the checkout, so I took it back to the shelf to get another. I discovered that every single tin was tented, and the one I already had was by far the least mutilated. Still, it was only babyfood nothing you need to be careful with or anything. I would have complained if I had seen any point to arguing with monkeys.

That's a good thing. People in the UK waste food like grows on trees ... and only fruit does.
People bin stuff because of use by dates, which are pretty much meaningless estimates to avoid legal action, and have no ability to tell if food is off or not.

Some of my best meals have come from leftovers.
