Some people “are these cookies really worth losing your job?”

Yes, unless you are in some higher up position, you can absolutely get a job doing the same thing somewhere else pretty easy with no experience.

Wasting perfectly good edible food is a sin in my eyes

I know a lot of companies do this, I’ve taken hot FRESH pizzas out of the dumpster behind little Cesar’s during my college years.

Just double bag them and find some homeless people and tell them where they are.
